Bangkok Airways gears up for high season

BANGKOK: Bangkok Airways will increase frequency on its Bangkok-Phuket and Phuket-Samui routes during the high season with a new schedule that starts on October 26, the carrier has announced.

For the Bangkok-Phuket route, flights will leave Suvarnabhumi Airport at 8.10 am, 11.45 am and 5:30 pm. Flight time is just under 1.5 hours.

For its Phuket-Samui route, flights will leave Phuket at 9.35 am, 1.45 pm and 4.35 pm.

The Bangkok-Phuket and Bangkok-Samui flights will cost 2,240 baht and 1,900 baht, respectively, exclusive of airport taxes, insurance and fuel surcharge

In addition, the carrier last month launched a new “Web Check-In” service for passengers traveling from its key domestic routes. The service enables passengers to check-in online and select a seat as early as 24 hours before departure.

Passengers may print out a boarding pass and bring it to the designated counter for quick ID verification and baggage check, if needed.

The airline will initially offer Web Check-In service to passengers who fly from Bangkok, Samui and Phuket to other domestic destinations, and will apply this service to its other destinations in the near future, it announced in a press release.
