meadish_sweetball Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Some friends are coming over from the US and are trying to plan their flying schedule in terms of budget and time. If possible they'd like to try and redeem airmiles to cut the costs for the trip. One thing they asked was what international flights there are coming in directly to CNX from other Asian destinations, and I realized I don't have updated info anymore. Does anyone know the entire list? I tried searching but did not come up with anything useful. TIA Meadish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on an inflight magazine (I think 1,2Go) of future direct flights to Bangalore and Hong Kong, but I'm not sure if that ever came about. Don't know about Tokyo either.

Rinrada Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Chiang Mai International Airport (IATA: CNX, ICAO: VTCC) is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

PeaceBlondie Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Meadish, they need to check closely. The Shanghai -CNX flight has one stopover. It's BKK. So, it's not direct. There must be other examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el jefe Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Bangkok Airways flies non-stop to Jinghong, China. Someone mentioned Luang Prabang/Vientiane and Yangon/Mandalay. You can fly non-stop to and from Luang Prabang but all flights to/from Vientiane require a change of plnes in either Bangkok or Luang Prabang. The flight schedule to Myanmar is a loop is goes from Chiang Mai to Mandalay, then on to Yangon and then returns to CM. It's not very convenient either as it's only once a week, Thursday's I think.

If possible they'd like to try and redeem airmiles to cut the costs for the trip. The only Airline flying to CNX with direct connections from the US is China Airlines with a change of planes in Taipei. They seem to be partnered with Northwest and Alaska Airlines for mileage.

sabaijai Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Meadish, they need to check closely. The Shanghai -CNX flight has one stopover. It's BKK. So, it's not direct. There must be other examples. Technically that is a direct flight if it's the same flight number all the way (even with a change of planes). No stopover = nonstop.

higgy88 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I would love to fly to/from the USA into CNX and bypass BKK, but I have never done it because it was always much more expensive than flying into BKK and then connecting to CNX. And this was even though China Air had two flights a week from Taipai to CNX and then connecting to exactly the same flight to LAX, but the last time I went was a couple of years ago. I would really like to know if their pricing has changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trawler Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 As mentioned you can arrive in Hong Kong and connect every Thurs and Sunday to Chiang Mai or vice versa and from Hkg there are many USA connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Does anyone know if flights between CNX and Kunming have been suspended? Just did an online fare search and the cheapest I could find was about 18,000 Baht routed CNX>BKK>Kunming. No more Thai Airlines or China Eastern service to Kunming from CNX?

harrry Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 When you check your fares try it both as a through are and as two seperate fares. I save about 20000 baht usually by booking CNX/BKK then BKK/PER. Same flight same seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Does anyone know if flights between CNX and Kunming have been suspended? I never read any formal announcement that THAI was discontinuing their twice-weekly non-stop flights between Chiang Mai and Kunming but I certainly cannot find any trace of these flights in their online timetable. I really wish that AirAsia would adopt the CNX-KMG route as has been rumoured for several years now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Korean Air. That makes for an interesting option to/from the USA, via Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Korean Air. That makes for an interesting option to/from the USA, via Korea. I like the China Airlines route through Taipei directly to Chiang Mai. Shorter layovers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siam2007 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 better close this old Zombie-thread and start a new one, as it will confuse members. almost nothing is same as it was back in 2006. many of the international connections have been suspended. you can easily check the available connections and flights yourself using this website and search for the CNX departures/arrivals. you can even find out which kind of aircraft is being used (I use this website always before making a booking on AirAsia, because I prefer to sit in a brandnew A-320 rather than a 25-year old B-737 - and in 90% of the cases, the information given is correct). here you go: http://www.flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
