The one-way flight that got us to Phuket in the aboriginal place, appropriate here, on Nok Air.

Before we barrage into our analysis of this one-way Bangkok Airways flight from Thailand's Phuket All-embracing (HKT) to Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi (BKK), let us point you to the one-way flight that got us to Phuket in the aboriginal place, appropriate here, on Nok Air.

While our Nok analysis is blowzy with pictures of the bird-painted airplanes and affluence of addendum on the flight, this one will not be as abundant on annual of the actuality that we flew in the aphotic of night afterwards scuba diving off Phuket for three beeline canicule (yes, adolescent divers, we did delay over 24 hours afore flying, don't worry). Still, it was aphotic and we were crazy beat and animating for what was the alpha of a 24-hour affliction to get to aback on US soil.

Booking our Bangkok flight was simple enough—right on BangkokFlights, and we paid alone the agnate of $49 USD, purchasing the admission about 1.5 weeks in advance. Searching the aforementioned avenue now, it looks like the web saver fares boilerplate 2390 THB ($76 USD), so accumulate your eyes on the website for specials.

Bangkok Airways cast to cast itself as Thailand's "boutique airline." What that basically agency is, it's not affiliated with Thai Airways (as Nok is) and it offers the actual beautiful added of adulatory lounges for all flyers. We alone hit up the tiny one at Phuket, with its chargeless nibbles and juices, but peeked in aback at Bangkok and BKK absolutely has all the space. Next time!

Also, clashing Nok Air with its flights from the city's "second" airport of Don Mueang (DMK), Bangkok Airways sticks with the capital all-embracing hub of Suvarnabhumi (BKK), eliminating the charge to cantankerous boondocks in the average of the night to about-face airports to bolt our after United flight to Tokyo-Narita.

Onboard we acutely bethink little afar from the active colors of the flight aggregation uniforms, the nice little adulatory cafeteria tray that was handed out about 10pm, and getting assigned an avenue row with added legroom (because we were taller than a lot of anybody else?)

Would we fly Bangkok Airways again? Absolutely. The amount was right, the flight on their A320 did absolutely what we accepted it to, the aggregation were animated admitting the backward hour and animated Thai 747 abandonment that gunked up the Phuket aboideau area, and the BKK hub area is ideal. Thumbs up.
