Nok Air: Domestic Flight with TWO checked bags – possible?

[henrik2000]

Hi, I might want to fly domestically with Nok Air in Thailand. I would have TWO checked bags, in total:

 

• Checked bag 1, 20 kg
• Checked bag 2, 20 or 15 kg
• Hand-held bag

   

Now I wonder: Does Nok Air allow TWO checked bags at check-in? Online they let me buy oodles of kilograms – also beyond the allowance of 30 kg per bag.

 

(Nok Baggage Rules in English.)

 

But Nok doesn't seem to say explicitly that you can check in 2 bags, not just 1. According to the rules, I may bring 40+ kgs, but only 30 kg per bag; but they never mention more than 1 checked bag.

What are your experiences with TWO bags with Nok? (Nok, the airline)

While at it: Did you book Nok from abroad and did it work? Long time ago there were problems with international credit cards. I'd even prefer to not use a credit card. I guess in Thailand I could book and immediately pay at 7/11 or so – but I want to book from abroad.

Thanks!

 

 

PS. Of course it's debatable if one should

 

• carry 2x20 kg of luggage
• fly to Nok domestic destinations

   

but that'd be another topic.

I book NOK flights with my US credit card all the time. Have you tried making some dummy reservations to see prices of suitcases.

Do the maths. 30kg one bag plus 10kg other bag = 2 bags.

 

Its implied in the language. Is English your first language?

All airlines allow golf clubs and surf boards ie pros etc ie a 2nd bag.

 

Why would they only allow 1 bag?

 

You just have to pay for it.

 

How do pro golfers or surfers travel if only 1 bag?

Unless you're checking 1000 cubic meters of polystyrene or 1000 boxes of potato chips, you're paying for the combined weight of all your luggage, typically across the whole PNR number (the booking reference). ie if there are two of you on the same booking and you both have 25kg allowance, you could check a 15kg bag and the other traveller could check one 20kg and one 15kg for a total of 3 bags.
