Bangkok Airways

I bet the...

I, I, I, I bet the Bangkok Airways executives must be sitting round a TV watching Samui United games and roaring them on, right? Because they've got the...

Uh, I might be wrong about this, but I think they've got the monopoly on the flights-

Correct

... as well as Phuket and Krabi.

And for Singapore travelers, this could be brilliant because instead of spending six hours just waiting for your connecting flight, say, to Europe, because you're flying Bangkok Air, you could squeeze in a little Thai adventure without having to book an extra holiday.

Very nice.

So I think that's cool.

Six airlines introduced special arrangements for passengers affected by flooding and severe traffic disruption around Bangkok's two main airports.

Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Vietjet, and Thai Lion Air offered combinations of free date changes, travel credits, vouchers, or refunds depending on the passengers' circumstances.

Several policies allowed travelers to reschedule flights on the same route without paying standard changing fees, although deadlines and fare conditions vary between airlines.

The measures followed reports of passengers struggling to reach Suvarnabhumi and Donmeng airports because of the flooded roads and congestion, and travelers were advised to allow an additional two or three hours for airport journeys and check their flight status before leaving home.

Yeah.

Another one we'll look at you probably wouldn't think of is Bangkok Airways.

So they fly primarily throughout Thailand, but also other areas in Southeast Asia.

So this can be a great use of Japan Airlines miles.

Do you reckon

they'll drive up to Bangkok and get a Bangkok Airways flight? That's the only airline

that goes there, isn't it? Or they send them on a boat across from Surat Thani.

Yeah, I wonder how they'll do it.
