Thai Vietjet Air is a Thai low-cost airline flying domestic routes from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), not from Don Mueang. It was founded in November 2014 and flew its first service, Bangkok to Phuket, on 25 March 2015.

It is a Thailand-incorporated company and an associate of Vietnam's Vietjet Aviation, and it flies under the two-letter airline code VZ. Vietjet Air of Vietnam is a separate airline and flies as VJ.

Where Thai Vietjet flies

Thai Vietjet serves eleven airports inside Thailand. From Suvarnabhumi it flies to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai, Khon Kaen, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phuket, Surat Thani, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani.

Not every route touches Bangkok. Chiang Mai to Phuket is a direct pair, linking the north to Phuket Airport without changing in Bangkok.

On the Bangkok trunk routes, our pages for Bangkok to Chiang Mai and Bangkok to Hat Yai carry the typical schedule for each airline on the pair.

Outside Thailand it flies to Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan and Vietnam, for around 29 destinations in total. Singapore has been dropped and is no longer on the network.

The fleet

Thai Vietjet has flown Airbus A320-200 and A321-200 aircraft, counted at 18 in May 2025. That is changing: the first Boeing 737 MAX 8 arrived at Suvarnabhumi on 23 November 2025, the first of 50 allocated to the airline, with deliveries running to 2028. The stated intention is to retire the Airbus fleet and operate the 737 alone, although no completion date has been confirmed.

Published figures for late 2025 disagree on how many aircraft Thai Vietjet now has, and the airline's own website could not be checked directly. Treat any fleet number you see without a date attached with caution.

Fares and what each one includes

Thai Vietjet uses a single-class cabin. What separates the fares is the bundle of extras attached to the ticket.

Fare bundle	What it includes
Eco	The base fare, with cabin baggage only. Checked baggage, meals, seat choice and date changes are each bought separately
Deluxe	A checked allowance, reported at 20 kg, free standard seat selection and free date changes
SkyBoss	A seat in rows one to three with more legroom, priority check-in and boarding, a meal, and a larger checked allowance, reported at 30 kg

SkyBoss is sometimes described as a premium economy cabin. It is a fare bundle in the front rows of a single-class aircraft, so the seat itself is a standard one with more legroom around it. Lounge access, where it is offered at all, does not apply on Thailand domestic flights.

Which bundle suits you depends on whether you are carrying a checked bag and whether your dates might move. Our airline pages cover the other carriers on Thailand's domestic network if you want to compare what each fare includes.

Baggage

Cabin baggage

The cabin allowance is 7 kg in total. It can be split across one bag and one smaller personal item, such as a handbag or a laptop bag, with each piece within 56 x 36 x 23 cm and stowed under the seat or in an overhead bin. The 7 kg limit applies to every fare, SkyBoss included.

Checked baggage

Checked baggage is not included on the base Eco fare and has to be bought. Deluxe and SkyBoss carry an allowance, reported at 20 kg and 30 kg respectively. Buying an allowance online in advance costs less than buying it at the counter or the gate.

A single checked piece may weigh up to 32 kg and measure up to 119 x 119 x 81 cm. Check Thai Vietjet's baggage page before travelling, because allowances can change.

Checking in

Web check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes about an hour before it on domestic flights. Airport counters typically open around two hours before departure and close 40 minutes before it, and the bag drop may close ten minutes earlier than that. Arriving 90 minutes before departure clears either cut-off.

Self-service kiosks and self bag drop have been available at Suvarnabhumi and Hat Yai Airport since 15 May 2024, usable from six hours to one hour before departure. They cover domestic and most international flights, with China excluded. The airline set out the rollout in its own announcement.

What catches people out

Cabin bags are tagged by staff at check-in, and a bag without a tag is not allowed to board. A bag pulled at the gate for size or weight is charged at a materially higher rate than the same bag added online beforehand.

The base Eco fare carries no checked bag at all. Adding an allowance after booking costs more than adding it at the time of booking, and adding it at the airport costs more again.

The 40-minute counter cut-off for domestic departures is strict. If you are checking a bag, work back from that deadline rather than from the departure time.

Frequently asked questions

Which Bangkok airport does Thai Vietjet fly from?

Thai Vietjet's Thai domestic operation is based at Suvarnabhumi, and every Bangkok domestic route it flies uses that airport. The airline introduced self-service check-in kiosks at Suvarnabhumi and Hat Yai on 15 May 2024.

Does a Thai Vietjet fare include checked baggage?

Not on the base Eco fare, which covers cabin baggage only. Deluxe and SkyBoss include a checked allowance, reported at 20 kg and 30 kg. On Eco the allowance is bought separately, and buying it online in advance costs less than buying it at the airport.

How much cabin baggage can I take on Thai Vietjet?

7 kg in total, which can be split across one bag and one smaller personal item, each piece within 56 x 36 x 23 cm. The limit applies to every fare bundle. Confirm the allowance on your own booking before you fly.

When does Thai Vietjet check-in close?

Web check-in opens 24 hours ahead and closes about an hour before a domestic departure. The airport counter closes 40 minutes before departure, and bag drop may close ten minutes earlier still.

Is Thai Vietjet the same airline as Vietjet Air?

They are separate airlines. Thai Vietjet Air is incorporated in Thailand, flies as VZ, and is an associate company of Vietnam's Vietjet Aviation. Vietjet Air of Vietnam flies as VJ.

Is SkyBoss a separate cabin on Thai Vietjet?

SkyBoss is a fare bundle rather than a cabin. It puts you in rows one to three of a single-class aircraft, with priority check-in and boarding, a meal and a larger checked allowance. Any lounge access attached to the bundle elsewhere does not extend to Thailand domestic flights.
