jimmyyy Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Air asia, nok air, or thai smile. If your going into bkk thai air flies out of there the rest fly out of the old airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEyedPie Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Air Asia #1 in my opinion. Thai landing at Swampy is great if you can afford the premium, though also need to factor in the cost and time spent travelling from DMK to BKK if landing at DMK. I don't do taximeters from DMK as a complete nonsense on many occasions so just pay the limo concession outside of arrivals and have done with it. Obviously costs quite a bit more.

KhunBENQ Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 No question for me. Thaismile from Suvarnabhumi. I always used them on this route. And they still beat AirAsia not to speak of NokAir in quality. (AirAsia and Nok used on other routes with no alternative) Unfortunately the times are over that they used a gate. So always with the bus to a distant parking location. Currently they have six daily flights. 07:00 10:50 13:35 16:40 18:40 21:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneEyedPie Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I would do the same if available and my budget allows for either BKK or DMK. Personally where I fly to then I've no other option than DMK and then on to Air Asia. If flying into Swampy then I'd take Thai every time as I'm none too concerned about price as convenience is far more important. I wouldn't touch Thai Smile.

KhunBENQ Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 And to my pleasure I see prices going down in June. Some 900 Baht promos available. And that includes 20 kg of baggage, seat reservation. Snack, coffee, water served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch Thai Smiles. Fully disagree about Thaismile and Thai Airways does not serve such provincial routes anymore. All handed over to Thaismile. Only Phuket, Chiang Mai and maybe Samui served (errors excepted). Please detail your experience/concern about Thaismile. I have used them about 20 times over the last few years.

I've taken the time to check all the available options and Thai Airways definitely do fly to KKC, albeit at the premium price. I hope this helps, OP.

No. It's a code share (identical schedule, same plane operated by ThaiSmile) for those who have the need to collect miles, single booking from international etc. Example: a "WE40" flight at 7 AM appears as a code share "TG2040". No Thai Airways plane in Khon Kaen since many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
