Bangkok to Udon Thani with 'Thai Lion Air'

Recommended Posts

hello there,

I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding this airline...are they reliable ? Do they cancel flights? any other major negative issues ?

I am contemplating between this airline and 'Nok Air' which is a bit more expensive.

Thanks a lot.

Service on Nok Air far better

I have never flown on Nok Air but I have been on Thai lion air to Udon and was very satisfied with their service and reliability.

But I fail to see how you can say it’s a better service on Nok when they have cancelled so many flights at short notice which has never happened with lion.blink.png

Agreed, used Lion Air a few times without any problem. Its a very short flight also so why spend additional money...

Nok Air sent us an SMS stated that our flight was delayed 2 hours.

We got there and they said we missed our flight - original time!

They just shrugged when we showed them the text and refused to get a manager.

We missed our Thai Village wedding and the whole village was not happy with us and very drunk by the time we arrived.

Nok Air no care.

Although Thai Lion has not had any incidents, the parent Lion Air in Indonesia has one of the worst safety records in the world.

I tell my family and friends to stay away from them as well as Orient Thai/1-2-Go.

What a delightful thing to read considering I have a flight with them to Bangkok this Saturday evening. Although I've used them twice before - both flights were comfortable and on-time. At 800THB (same price as a ten hour bus), can't really go wrong. (I hope)

Flying even with the worst carrier is exponentially more safe than travelling on the roads of Thailand.
