Phuket Thailand - Thai Airways Promo : Discover Thailand 2008 (199US$

ma_kore · #1 07-05-2008, 00:01

Just browsing for some internal fares in LOS and I came across this : https://www.thaiair.com/Promotions/S...azing_fare.htm

Some amount of taxes would apply so all in all it looks kinda pricey.

I hoping to find one of those "0 THB" tickets on auction

At one time Air Asia did have a reputation for last minute cancellations and delays. Always a chance you take when booking with a LCC, but there are certainly some good bargains to be had. Their normal price from BKK-HKT is less than half a Thai Air flight, but if you have a connection to make, allow plenty of time just in case of delays.

I have used them the past two trips and every flight has been on time.

Be aware of the 15kg allowance and 80baht for every kg overweight.

I've just booked four internal flights in Thailand and after making comparisons with the other airlines in the area I have chosen Airasia which was easily had the cheapest flights available and their website was the easiest to use.

I have used them in the past and I have never had any problems with them.

The downside of Air Asia is the service on occasion, the upside is that they chose to remain at the new airport. This obviously makes international connections a lot easier but allow yourself a good air gap between flights.1 2 go and Nok both returned to Don Muang (as have some Thai Airways flights) which has caused some of their business to drop off. For peeps in Thailand though just making internal flights Nok seems to be the popular option as people are wary of 1 2 Go, partly because of the crash in Phuket last year and partly due to he reliability of its aging fleet of Aircraft. I personally don't have an issue with AA and its my LCC of choice in this part of the world.

I have used Nok Air once before... The idea is this time I need to spend as little as possible to get from A-B-C-A.

Thanks for the heads up on Air Asia Setanta I will keep trying their website again. If you dont mind me asking what sectors are you flying and what did the entire thing cost ya?

Unless the prices have gone up Nok was a fixed rate of B1700 per leg, inc taxes.
