When I tried to book a flight into BKK later this week and a return in mid November it could not be done - 2 different airports now expected for the out and in journeys.

Maybe they will sort this soon or we just have to put up with booking single journeys - I don't think it makes it any more expensive just a bit of an inconvenience.

Purpose to inform, not to moan

I should have added that there is some kind of exhortation on the web site not to bring baggage for checking into he hold for these revised flights(ie 7kg cabin baggage only). Maybe that was just for the Ubon flights that I was looking at. That makes them not a whole lot of use to me.
