What is Nok Plus?

Extra THB500 and you get a sort of business class type seat. I think you can also change your bookings without any penalties on Nok Plus.

As Chuchok says - Business class seat - change your boooking without charge AND a 30 kilo baggage allowance instead of 15.

They dont want to give anybody those little air miles if they can avoid it..do they Mr M anering

Just done a quick price flip check on roughly the same day as my next "sortie" in March...

Bangkok.>Chaing Mai> Return.....

Thai Airways .....................................Bt 4,740.

Thai/Nok........................... ..........Bt.3,600

Nok.................................. .....Bt.3,000

There are still the usual diffs and indeed advantages like TG is a Y- Economy and valid for 1 year etc...so you pays yer money and take your pick........its good news apart from that...

They are still fluffing about and seem uncertain ref: bunging on further fuel surcharges but the above is about a fair comparision although I seem t6o remember that the bog standard R/T on Thai last time was about Bt 5,250..........

The Patti 10 bt bus users will of course always go for the TG Inter.because they like paying more......one would imagine...
