Thai Smile adds Kolkata flights

By THE NATION

 

 

Thai Smile makes its way to East India with a new direct flight from Bangkok to Kolkata available from March 31.

 

Aiming to reinforce the full-service airline in the region with world-class aviation and service standards, and flying seamlessly with Thai Airways International, the latest route will be the gateway to East India, departing Suvarnabhumi Airport to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.

 

The airways will operate five flights per week – Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – with an option of Smile Plus (Premium Economy) and Smile Class (Economy). 

 

Promotional prices start at Bt3,740 and passengers will get an inflight meal and beverages, seat selection, and baggage allowance up to 40 kilograms. 

 

For TPI Summer, scheduled to start on March 31, Thai Smile has updated flights in India with three routes – three Lucknow flights, seven Mumbai flights and five Kolkata flights a week. 

 

Booking can be made via the Call Centre at 1181, (02) 118 8888 or www.ThaiSmileAir.com.

Possibly hand in hand with TAT and its current promotion for senior Indian citizens to holiday in LOS.

Yes, already commented on this story, don't know why it's been rehashed. The BKK-CCU route is already served by at least three budget airlines, so I doubt Thai Smile will be able to sustain their fares. But from the point of view of the consumer, more competition is always welcome.

Anyone tempted by Calcutta or India in general be aware that their e visa is now valid for one year and is multi entry. Total stay not to exceed 180 days. Not sure on price as just announced.
