Thai Smile Resumes Bangkok-Luang Prabang Flights
21st Aug 2017
Thailand-based airline Thai Smile announced today that it will commence direct flights between the Thai capital and Luang Prabang starting 1st October this year. The regional carrier revealed that it will operate four times per week on this route, namely on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
To kick-off the return of the Bangkok-Luang Prabang route, Thai Smile is offering one-way promotional air fares for 2,580 baht. These fares are inclusive of taxes and fees and interested travelers can book them until 28th October. Travel period for these tickets is from 1st October to 28th October this year.
The airline also offers a roundtrip in mid-October for 4,965 through its “Smile” offers.
Thai Smile revealed that it will serve the route using Airbus A320 planes.
The subsidiary to Thai Airways International (THAI) initially launched flights to Luang Prabang back in 2014, but had to scrap them from its flight schedule last year for an undisclosed reason. Its customers were left without either an announcement that this will happen or an explanation as to why did it happen from the carrier.
Bangkok-Luang Prabang is a popular route among Thai-based carriers, with the route also been covered by Bangkok Airways and Thai AirAsia. The Asian Boutique Airline was the first Thai carrier to connect Bangkok with Luang Prabang and is currently flying two times per day here, using ATR 72 aircraft, with 70 seats.
On the other hand, Thai AirAsia started flying to Luang Prabang last year on 24th March, when it gained permission to become the first low-cost carrier (LCC) to fly to this city. TAA’s parent, Malaysia AirAsia Bhd also flies to Luang Prabang from Kuala Lumpur, a route it opened on 21st November last year.
In addition to these airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Lao Airlines and Lao Skyway also fly to Luang Prabang. The only issue here is that passengers have to change their plane either in Vientiane if they fly with Lao Airlines or Lao Skyway or in Ho Chi Minh City if they chose Vietnam Airlines as their operator.
Luang Prabang is a World Heritage site since 1995.
