Cheap fares for Phuket-Bangkok flights

PHUKET: Thai Airways International (THAI) is offering a limited number of seats on its Phuket-Bangkok route at the low price of 3,400 baht return or 1,700 baht one-way. The seats are being allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, and are most likely to be awarded to people paying for and collecting their tickets at least 48 hours in advance of a flight. They are neither transferable nor refundable. Viset Sontichai, Upper-Southern Thailand District Sales Manager for THAI, told the Gazette that the precise number of low-price tickets on each flight varies, but that as many as 30 may be available on any one flight. The promotion, which ends on March 31, is part of the airline’s preparation for the launch of its low-cost airline on April 1, K. Viset added.
