Thai Lion Air, Credit Card fee shock !

[The Fat Controller]

Booked a flight from Bangkok to Ubon from here in the UK using my Nationwide Visa Credit Card.

Very shocked to find that Thai Lion Air DO NOT charge any fees for paying this way

They're waiting until they are established to start gouging their customers.

Paying at Tesco or 7-11 incurs a small fee, but this time thought I would save my wife a trip and was quite surprised at the lack of charge, unlike AirAsia who I have used before Lion Air started on the Ubon route.

Having a 15kg baggage allowance included is great and more can be booked before flying if you need it.

You even get a free carton of water and some Oreo biscuits on the flight.

Yes, I flew with Thai Lion air, and thier Malaysia subsiduary Malindo Air... as you say Zero Credit Card fees.

Not a bad airline too for the price and all inclusive - no baggage fees etc..

I would recomend this airline.

I would be using it here in HKT-BKK flights but their HKT flights are very late in the day only. Maybe in the future ...

Neither does Thai Smile and Nok Air.

Flew Thai Lionair last week, B737/800 was fine, B737/900 cramped.
