A Few Questions Regarding Travel To Cm

[Barret]

Hi everyone

I will travel to Thailand with my Thai Wife in a few months and we are planning a trip with the family to Chiang Mai, first time for everyone.

I never took a domestic flight in Thailand so I have a few questions, if you don't mind

- We will travel with the family so there will be kids. What documents do they need to be allowed to enter the plane ? Or don't they need anything ?

- What are the best air company's to fly to CM. The most important is the service, respect of schedule and then the price.

- What are the air company's to avoid at all costs ?

That's all for the moment. Oh and if you have a nice hotel/resort to recommend in Chiang Mai, don't hesitate.

Thanks

B.

Thai fly on-time, from Swampy ( and Don Muang until end-March), but cost more, allow 20 kgs (more for frequent-flyers) and give you Star-Alliance airmiles. Most flights are on wide-bodied planes, all the others airlines are narrow-bodied, single-aisle.

Nok Air fly generally-on-time, from Don Muang, and cost less, but have 15/20 kg baggage-limits (depends on ticket-class), except in their Nok Plus upgraded-seats (30 kgs), which cost more.

Bangkok Airways fly a few times daily, from Swampy, and tend to cost more, as befits a self-proclaimed 'boutique-airline'.

Air Asia fly regularly from Swampy, are cheap & cheerful, but VERY weight-conscious (15 kgs or you WILL pay) and sometimes tardy.

One-Two-Go is One-To-Avoid, due to alleged safety-concerns, allows 20 kgs flying from Don Muang a couple of times per day.

You pays your money ... and takes your choice. Have a good trip !

Yes. Air Asia. Cheap and cheerful. For the kids, a birth certificate will do.

Thank you for the answers.

The baggage-limits are for 1 person, right ? If so, that will not be a problem.

I will have to choose between Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways or Nok Air.
