AirAsia to launch Phuket-Pattaya direct, daily flights

 

PhuketNews – Thai AirAsia from March 30 will fly daily direct flights connecting Phuket with Pattaya in a push to connect Thailand’s two main foreign tourist beach resort destinations.

Starting March 30, Flight FD1101 will depart Phuket International Airport’s Domestic Terminal at 12:50pm daily, touching down at U-Tapao, about 40km from Pattaya by road, at 2:10pm.

From Pattaya to Phuket, Flight FD100 will depart U-Tapao at 10:55am daily and land in Phuket at 12:55pm.

The Phuket-Pattaya launch comes as Thai AirAsia also launches direct direct daily flights connecting U-Tapao and Ubon Ratchathani, also starting March 30.

Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, said that the two new direct-flight services support the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) policy of stimulating cross-regional travel.

“Regional connections in Thailand are a strength of Thai AirAsia’s ever expanding network and part of its policy to create new travel opportunities for all the country’s regions,” he said.

AirAsia currently operates regional flights from six airport hubs: Bangkok (Don Mueang), Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, U-Tapao and Hat Yai. Together the hubs offer 11 regional connections via 16 flights daily which averaged a load factor of 85% in 2016.

The Phuket-Pattaya ana Pattaya-Ubon Ratchathani services were launched at Thailand International Travel Fair 2017, currently underway at Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre in Bangkok. A special satellite roadshow edition is being held in Phuket Town this weekend. (See story here.)

Promotional fares for U-Tapao-Phuket flights have been launched, starting at B790 (one way, including airport tax and other duties, but excluding fuel excise tax). Flights must be booked before next Tuesday (Feb 26) for travel March 30 through Feb 6, 2018.

Sujitra Jongchansittho, TAT Deputy Governor of Domestic Marketing, said that the government has policy to elevate the country’s economy under the “Thailand 4.0, Economy 4.0” concept.

TAT has drafted its own “Tourism 4.0” framework, which seeks to strengthen the country internally before connecting it to the global economy, Ms Sujitra said.

The plan focuses on basic tourism, constant innovation and the “Regional Travel Challenge” project, an effort to stimulate regional tourism by creating new and stimulating experiences based on local offerings, she noted.

“The goal of the framework is to spread travel income across the country and TAT welcomes AirAsia’s support in enhancing travel between regions,” Ms Sujitra added.

Taxi från Rawai till flygplatsen, 600 baht. Jäkligt bra pris för mig. De flesta får ge 1000 baht.

Flyg till U-Tapao, 790 baht plus 150 i bränsletillägg.

Taxi U-Tapao till Pattaya 1500 har jag hört. Stämmer det????

Hoppas de får igång någon skaplig transfer där. Här på Phuket behöver man nog inte drömma om några förenklingar/förbättringar för att ta sig till flygplatsen.

Summa ca 6-7000 för att ta sig till Pattaya tur o retur för en billig festhelg.

Tillkommer festarpengar förståss.

Får nog stanna på dyra Phuket för 6-7000 brukar räcka till en skaplig helg här.

Men jag gillar ändå skarpt att de drar igång den linjen. Thai flyger den ju redan men i en helt annan prisklass.

Du menar väl U-Tapao. Däremellan och Pattaya går det minibussar, minns inte priset men det var nog runt 150 som du skriver.
