PIKE Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If the prices of both airlines are roughly the same,what is the point!This has achieved nothing,unless both airlines reduce their fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangMaiSausage Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Amazing how these prices have stuck for so long whilst the rest of Thailand is opening up with cheap air fares (I know Bangkok Airways was the only carrier) I have just booked flight for March/April 2 adult, 1 child and 1 infant BKK-Samui - 20,110,00THB(RTN) BKK-CNX - 4,658(RTN) How can they continue to justify the cost!!!

Gatorade Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 There is still the 20% reduction on PG for holders of Samui Residents card. (should be due for renewal soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmezeta Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Now I understand the discount from Bkk-samui from 2300 and 2600 bath..... To undercut first month of a competitor...... Anyway a Thai flight is useful for europen customer, they are partner with Lufthansa so you can get a single online ticket, baggage routing and points.....

goldfinger Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 It is already possible, to check luggage through to Samui from Europe, no need to have a Thai connecting flight. And I think a roundtrip BKK USM BKK in M Class (no firts/last promotion) was alltogether 8175 Baht last month, so not nearly the same as Thai.

girlx Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 will there be direct flights with Thai airways to other destinations or is it just between Samui and BKK? i would love it if i could fly Samui-NY, but i am probably dreaming. also does anyone know if Firefly is still running?

Samuian Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The results of the Monopoly, rip off wherever they can! But same time hurting the tourist industry on Samui!

Shrubbery Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 i would love it if i could fly Samui-NY, but i am probably dreaming. Could be a bit tricky landing a 747. The runway would have to be extended conciderably and would probably need strengthening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how lucrative this flight route is. Got to be the biggest money spinner in the region! Most profitable route would now be Singapore / Penang just over 10,000 baht return / Singapore KL same (but that has now finally budget carriers). Monopolised = rip off eitherways. Samui still a rip off and no wonder tourists go elsewhere, they are ripped off as soon as they arrive at the airport by taxis.Then bitten by dogs on the beach.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thai Airways International (THAI) will this week launch twice-daily flights between Bangkok and Samui Island, targeting European tourists making stopovers in the capital, the national carrier announced Monday. The daily flights will begin on Thursday using Boeing 737-400 airplanes with a capacity of 149 passengers. "We aim to make the route very competitive by marketing it to tourists from major European cities currently served by THAI connecting through Suvarnabhumi Airport," said THAI Exectuive Vice President Pandit Chanapai. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/b...s.php?id=125860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this make it "competitive"? The only competition is Bangkok Airways, and I see no advantage in taking Thai over BKK Air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loiner100 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I understand Thai Airways may be intending to rent the old terminal building in Samui from BKK Airwaysf or check in and arrivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The price isn't that much an issue for me... and i take the first or last often. But my last 3 flights with Bangkok Air have resulted in 2-3 hour delays. I will try Thai... purely on the basis of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwest19 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I don't rate Bangkok Airways at all. I have just booked a Thai Airways, Samui Bangkok return through a local agent for 6820 THB including taxes etc and flying at sensible times. The ticket is non-changable and non-refundable which suits me fine instead of having to buy a more expensive flexible ticket that I don't need. Maybe this is a Thai Airways promotion fare I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
