Derek Dangleberries Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I intend to go on a Recce to Ubon in the middle of January for an unknown length of time - Nam's taxi, Pattaya to Don Muang leaving Pattaya at 6am for a flight around 10 am. Has to be 6am or earlier to avoid prying eyes... - Flying Business Class for excess baggage. - One-way or open return. - Airline not decided yet. Please advise on any of the above. There is no way my back can sustain a 10 hour drive !! Thank You !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWA Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Nam no longer does trips to DMK according to her website. You have the choice of Nok Air, Thai Lion Air or Thai AirAsia so might be struggling to get Business Class. Maybe better going from BKK if that's a must have, as Thai Airways will offer a Business Class fare and Nam will take you there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 What airline are you looking to fly? I just checked using Google Flights and I'm not seeing any airlines come up with anything but economy class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business is not important so they do a single leaving at 7am, 25kg allowance for 1675 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me I'd choose flights out BKK rather DMK to avoid the longer travel time in a car to the airport. That also has the advantage you could use Nam's for the car service. Of course that would be conditioned on not paying too much extra in flight cost for the convenience of a closer airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the quote you quoted was my quote from BKK with Thai Airways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Many of the domestic flights will allow 25kgs or up to 32kgs of luggage. It's just they don't always give the option until you do the booking details and you have to add it after. I just flew with Nok Air with 25kgs luggage, looks like they are an option for you.

It was just that I am no longer interested in Don Muang because the early Thai airways flight is perfect for what I want.. Thinking about it though perhaps the title could stay for future posters .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
