phuketsub Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bangkok Airways will start flights connecting Phuket and Haad Yai starting October 25. Flights will leave HKT Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings aboard a 70-seat ATR turboprop, with return flights the same morning. One-way fares for the flights are 1,890 baht, all inclusive. Long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm sure Smile Airways tried it a few years ago ..... didn't last very long, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thai Smile hasn't tried it, last one to have a go was Happy Air with their triangular route Hat Yai - Phuket - Langkawi - Hat Yai. I thought that one might work. One before that was Phuket Air. As Bangkok Airways are a pretty shrewd outfit one would assume they've researched this and believe they can make it work. I do hope so, driving from Hat Yai to Phuket to visit the brother-in-law is one of my least favourite trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NokAir tried it as well, but there was zero publicity for the route and the plane (737, I think) was too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably was publicity/marketing, but when the two pick-ups with the blaring loudspeakers drove past that one time, you, as with everyone else, tuned it out.
