thecyclist Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Nok has had a multitude of problems in the past, especially frequent delays because of a shortage of pilots.But give them credit where credit is due:Flew them for the first time yesterday from Hanoi, and servive was exceptionally helpful and friendly.Speedy check-in and landed 15 minutes ahead of schedule .Also they have found a niche market:Bicyclists.I have had so many problems with checking in my bicycle in the past with different airlines.Not with Nok air:Free of charge up to two(incredible) bikes per passenger up to 30 kg.A perfunctory plastic wrap was the only requirement.No wonder that there were several cyclist at the check-in counter.On behalf of the cycling community, a big thank you and tip of the hat to Nok Air.

Argus Tuft Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Slightly misleading headline - Nok Air and NokScoot are two very distinct airlines, even though related in branding. The previous comment mentions Nok Air, but not the airline this article is about. Nice to hear the poster's bikes were handled FOC with Nok :) Hope the NokScoot flight in the OP made it out eventually - no follow up from the News Team??
