Udon Thani Airport

Post by **Brian Davis** » January 7, 2018, 8:27 am

I have some apprehension about booking early bargain fares with Air Asia. Three person return fares Udon to Chiang Mai for 5,000 baht is great but..... If, as on a previous occasion, they subsequently change flight times significantly (or cancel altogether), hotel and hired car bookings messed up too. Before, I was going to Hanoi, until I cancelled because of a large change in timings. Whilst they agreed to refund the Bkk - Hanoi return flight costs, they insisted the Udon - Bangkok flights stood, even those were clearly connecting flights and with them, not another airline. I think it years back now, but I saw an article published in Europe about the responsibilities of airlines, if they cancel, change etc., which, if I recall, applied to budget trips as well. But, ticking boxes on booking to the effect YOU will meet costs in an emergency situation (what counts as an emergency?) I guess means you'd have to fight hard to get compensation here.

Good luck with that. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Once the payment passes from your hand to theirs, it's typically gone. As Shylock explained Antonio's debt, "The pound of flesh which I demand of him Is deerely bought, 'tis mine, and I will haue it." This is not a consumer-oriented society.

Book it on Visa Credit Card and you can challenge the refund with the bank. Services not provided.

It is an excellent return price,Brian,but I thought only Nok Air flew from Udon to Chiang Mai ?

Have Air Asia also started a direct flight from Udon,otherwise you would have to fly via Bangkok ?

The answer must be yes, Zid - but you did make me check the itinerary!

Pleased to say direct flight takes 1 hr 20 mins and lands same day. $\:D/$ I don't know when the new service starts, but I booked a promotion which closed around New Year. I'm not flying till end of March, thus my concern the schedule may get changed. I understand it's NOT a prop plane, but one of the normal fleet/capacity. Whether Nok Air is continuing, I don't know. Now I'm waiting for the Udon FC fixtures, in the hope they may be away to Chiang Mai or Lampang on that weekend. Mind you, the wife will never believe it's a coincidence.

P.S. Now searching the Air Asia schedule, the new service seems to start from 15 Feb.

Yes,I see their flight now,Brian......not bad times either.
If you go mid week its 690 baht,all in one way,but if you have luggage its an extra 330 baht.
Still,1020 baht isn't bad....relating to 2040 baht for a return trip.
A return trip with Nok Air,useing the same dates and 15kg luggage,is nearly 2800 baht.

Be careful ... Double check your flight schedule... The displayed Udon Airport flight schedule might not match the actual airline schedule. For instance Thai Smile WE 3 departs at 08:35 according to Thaismile booking site but at 09:10 according to Airport departures. Similar discrepancies with the arrival times. If you book few weeks-months in advance confirm with the Airlines because the Airport site not being updated..

Flew out on WE3 on 6th, boarding at 8:40 and departed at 09:10. That was the same flight times when I did the online check-in and what was stated on my itinerary. Not at all sure where you are seeing 8:35 departure on their website either... just checked.

That must be the machine coming from BKK where it starts at 7:35. It will arrive 8:35, so no wonder it leaves around 9:10...

Does anyone know if there is another airline besides Nok Air with nonstop direct flights between Udon and Chiang Mai? Tough to read the posted Thai language flight schedule. Thanks
