jonboy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Im off to Penang in a week or so and was shocked to find that the flight prices with AirAsia have doubled/tripled from about 6 months ago.Are there any other cheap airlines that fly BKK to Penang that people know of? Ive found out about tigerair but they only fly to Singapore. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Are there any other cheap airlines that fly BKK to Penang that people know of? As far as I know, the only other airline that flies the Bangkok-Penang route is THAI and they're expensive. You may also want to look at BKK-Kuala Lumpur and then KUL-PEN on AirAsia.

ovenman Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 There must be another? Just 1? Just one. BKK-PEN is not the most heavily traveled route in the world or in SE Asia for that matter. Consider that the potential players are basically just Thailand and/or Malaysia-based carriers. THAI flies the route. Malaysia Airlines does not. This just leaves the low-cost carriers. Nok is strictly a domestic operation. Orient Thai does not operate on this sector. That just leaves AirAsia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAWP Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I don't get it...booked ticket some week ago with AirAsia and it was cheep as dirt. Your telling me it was _cheaper_ before? Read this thread before booking and thought I was going to have to dish out a large of cash, but no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the earlier posts on this thread, AirAsia has restored their second daily flight on the BKK-PEN route and seemingly lowered prices while doing so.
