airfare

Does any one know the cost of a single trip from pattaya to phuket on bkk air.I know what it is on line but wondered if it was cheaper from a travel agent. with special offers

www.bangkokair.com/ (http://www.bangkokair.com/)

Pattaya to Phuket, round trip around 6000 baht (with fees). Perhaps you can find a promotion through a travel agent.

Has any else any comments, to make

... almost sure someone mentioned here that one2go airlines fly's Phuket to Pattaya, but checking their website I can't see it! Perhaps I have the name wrong but this topic came up a little while ago and there are two airlines flying this route now. Bangkok Air definitely overcharges.

I emailed 1togo and the answer was as expected from thai, ie check the webb page

one of the local travel agents in pattaya has quite a large banner advertising flights for a couple for 8,000baht return - ie 4,000 per head.

Thank you LW for your most informed comment. Considering you then quote a fare that is 1000baht higher than the one i quoted, i am not sure what point you made.

Maybe this from the one2go website should have been included.I did that post whilst waiting for a taxi.
The 4000 baht fare might be from BKK and not U'Tapao. You will report back wont you?
This is the 3400b return flight is currently on offer but it means the trip to BKK by taxi or bus
and I would rather pay the extra, save time and fly from U'Tapoa

LW, your erudite posting is too much of a hurry.

The author of the thread asked specifically for info from Pattaya. I answered also specifically.

Next time you are sitting in a baht bus waiting to go to Jomtien, look over the road to Joy Travel agent. There is a banner hanging over the shop. I quoted from it in my previous post.

Yes but do you fly out of pattaya or have to go to bangkok?????

if out of pattaya then what airline?????

did you check it out or just quoting the banner?????

The author asked for info using the following :
"Does any one know the cost of a single trip from pattaya to phuket on bkk air.I know what it is on line but wondered if it was cheaper from a travel agent. with special offers"

Assuming he was telling the truth about knowing what was on line, i merely quoted the information he wanted. Let me say it again.


Yes, it is bkk air. if it wasn't i wouldn't be answering his request, would i?

Yes, it is from pattaya ( or at least UTapo, excuse the spelling) Again, if it wasn't would it be relevant to his question?

Yes, it is a special offer from a travel agent (which is what was asked for)

Does that make it clear now?

just to add that the same fare is also advertised on the same banner for Samui as well.
