Songkran Flight Discounts Rolled Out to Ease Holiday Travel Costs

Thailand’s aviation regulator says domestic airfares on selected routes will be reduced by 15% to 30% during the Songkran holiday period. The move comes after disruption linked to conflict in the Middle East affected routes and connections in several areas, putting upward pressure on some ticket prices. Officials said many travellers have shifted toward direct services, which has added extra strain to demand on certain routes. Despite that, direct flights between Thailand and Europe are still operating, with airlines using alternative flight paths where necessary. Travellers were also told that connecting through places such as China may offer a cheaper option, even if the journey takes longer.
