Asheron Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Saw that Lion Air flies from Ubon to Don muang quite a lot cheaper (like four times if you take the "promo") than Thai Smile does. Any experiences with them? Surely they are "fine" for an hour flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Must have flown LA about 20 plus times since they started ..CM-BK ( Don M) -CM and never had any problems. New aircraft,15 Kgs hold luggage, prices are usually good but always worth a double check...compared with Nok/A.Asia . Had the verv odd occasion when Thai/Smile was cheaper...but generally the Lions come in best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a one way bus ticket is like 700 baht from Ubon to Bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamemjay Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I went with them once DM-KL. AA were slightly cheaper but Lion's schedule suited me better. Nice plane, roomy seats but hated the loud music they had. This made sense once the other passengers (mostly Indonesian) boarded - A noisier bunch I've never experienced. Other issues too of a 'cultural' nature. Let's just say it was an interesting cultural immersion experience I won't be rushing to repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly again this week to Chiangmai-Bangkok and return and booked well in advance. 1735 bahts all included and I added the insurance so I could have paid a cheaper price without insurance. But once in a while you can get cheaper price on other ailrine ( Nok or Thai Smile ) but usually they offer the best value / price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiddy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 NOK girls are sexier and they let me through straight away with just a boarding pass on my smartphone, Lion air had to do something with the computer at the gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrow Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Prefer Lion to Air Asia plus you get check in luggage allowance included in the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
