Eastar Jet resumes daily flights to Chiang Mai in December

South Korea’s budget airline, Eastar Jet, is bringing back its daily flights to Chiang Mai after a pandemic-induced hiatus. The airline confirmed that from December 19, it will resume the Busan-Chiang Mai route, offering travellers a convenient link between two major cities known for their tourism and event-hosting prowess.

 

Using a Boeing 737-800, with a capacity of 189 seats, the flights will provide a much-needed boost to both South Korea’s second-largest city, Busan, and Thailand’s second-largest, Chiang Mai. Busan, famous for its beaches, seafood, and vibrant festivals, will once again connect seamlessly with Chiang Mai, a cultural and historical gem nestled in northern Thailand. Both cities rely heavily on tourism, incentive travel, and conventions, and this flight resumption couldn’t come at a better time.

Flight ZE947 will depart Busan at 6pm local time and touch down in Chiang Mai at 9pm Thailand time, while the return flight ZE948 will leave Chiang Mai at 10.20pm, arriving back in Busan at 6.05am local time the next day.

 

Eastar Jet, founded in 2009 and based in Seoul, has a history of serving passengers with affordable fares. Having started with a domestic route between Gimpo and Jeju, it now operates flights to 14 destinations across eight countries. The revival of this international route highlights the resurgence of post-pandemic travel demand, reported TTR Weekly.

Will use only if it cuts out 5hrs of the 7hr layover for the CNX to LAX flight!  Actually not a bad airport to get stuck in if you like airports.

Some basic homework will find that they're not returning to CNX for the first time since COVID.
