just_Elaine Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I thought one of the magazines had all the flights listed, but I can't remember which one. Anyway, here is a link to the list of airlines that fly into Chiang Mai. I hope this helps. Airlines @ Chiang Mai Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Pretty wide choice really... Air Mandalay to Yangon Lao Aviation to Vientienne Silk Air to Singapore Tiger Air to Singapore Thai Airways to Kunming and others that escape me for the moment...

el jefe Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I can't think of a better visa run than Lao Airways non-stop to Luang prabang. My second choice would be Bangkok Airways to Jinghong, China. Someone else flies to Kunming, China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 THAI flies non-stop to Chittagong, Bangladeshb Well I think people have named most of the airlines, if leaving for a trip outside of the country do yourself a huge favour and only enter the "international" part of CNX airport at the last minute Made the mistake last month, nearly 3hours and unless you want to buy a cup of coffee you will be staring out the window freezing from the air conditioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I would double check the information in this thread before trying to fly - I can't find the Thai to Chittagong flight. Not sure if the Taiwan flight is running these days either. But quiet willing to be corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasseru Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Not sure if the Taiwan flight is running these days either.But quiet willing to be corrected! Well, since you're being so nice and quiet in your willingness, allow me to correct you. It is, at least if you mean the China Air flight. I am booked on it early in May. A great way, by the way to fly to Canada, which is what I will be doing. Leave Chiangmai in the afternoon for Taipei, arrive early evening, stay at a hotel, which is provided by the airline and included in the ticket price, then fly the next afternoon to Vancouver, and arrive the morning of the same day.

briley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Spellcheckers - never much use! Found out I was wrong the other day when someone I know booked to Taipei. But I was also told that 'someone' is going to do a Chiang Mai to London direct starting in about 3 months time. Any truth in this rumour???

trawler Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The runway at CNX is too short for a non stop CNX-LHR so doubt if that will happen.Another way to Canada is Hong Kong Express to Hkg and then you have a pick of flights to Vancouver or Toronto and believe you could do CNX-HKG-YVR/YTO without needing to overnight in Hkg.At least on any Thurs/Sun which is when Hong Kong Express fly.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first stage of the return flight leaves Vancouver at 11:35 and arrives in Taipei at 15:00. One then spends the night in a hotel, arranged and paid for as on the flight out. The second stage of the flight leaves Taipei at 9:55 the next morning and arrives in Chiangmai at 12:55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Boy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Does anyone know how much this Hong Kong Express flight actually costs? Have we a reply on the price of a return to HK? Hopefully I don't have to actually bother to find out myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 The 500 metre extension on the runway last year was to allow a fully loaded 747 or airbus to make the journey non-stop to Europe. Even before the extension there were some flights in from Germany. Seems like the only way to get the HK fare is to contact them, not on their website. Last time I looked at BKK to Hong Kong it was silly money, about 25,000 baht return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 has anyone considered going to KL and then flight from there if its any cheaper? airasia flies direct CNX-KUL for a very reasonable price provided you book when they offer promotions.

earlofwindermere Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) There's a new flight starting in a couple of months CNX - Incheon (Korea). It's with Sky Star Airways (http://www.skystarairways.com). Their route map says that they will be flying this and their news says that they are currently hiring the Thai staff. If you also Google "Chiang Mai Airways," you will see that there is another airline that is in the works for Chiang Mai - Southern China flights.

Yes, I have some European trips coming up later this year that will involve doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now via Bangkok................. The thrice-weekly flight was originally Bangkok-Chiang Mai-Chittagong and vice-versa. THAI must have found that there was little traffic on just the Chiang Mai-Chittagong sector. Hardly surprising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimGant Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 What airlines fly direct out of CNX Don't let airline terminology be a "gotcha." A 'direct' flight means you keep the same flight number to destination, but that you may make an interim stop, like in Bangkok. A 'non-stop' flight, however, is just that -- one takeoff, one landing.

Johpa Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 China Airways flies from a number of North American west coast cities with the connecting flight to CNX. But the fares were a bit pricier, a few hundred dollars more per person than flying into Bangkok when I checked for my family's visit this summer, a peak travel period, and seats available were few and far between. With the current clusterfruck at the Bangkok airports, I sure would like to see more flights direct to CNX from transit points such as Narita. I have the family arriving in late June into Bangkok and I still don't have plans for the transit to CNX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
