Thai Smile Airways to launch flight from Bangkok to Luang Prabang

Thai Smile Airways will launch direct daily flights from Bangkok to Luang Prabang (the first Unesco World Heritage site in Laos) later this month, according to the TTR Weekly report. Flights are scheduled to begin on Oct 30 following the introduction of a second daily Thai Smile flight from Bangkok to Vientiane. The airline now serves the Vientiane route with morning and afternoon flights. “Using a fleet of A320s, Thai Smile will fly daily to Luang Prabang departing Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport at 0845 (WE576) and arriving in Luang Prabang at 1020. The return flight (WE577) will depart Luang Prabang at 1120 and arrive in Bangkok at 1255,” stated the TTR Weekly. According to a web search, the cheapest roundtrip fare on Thai Smile is US$197. The flight time is one hour and 25 minutes. Bangkok Airways will resume daily flights to Luang Prabang just one day after Thai Smile on November 1 from its Bangkok Suvarnabhumi base quoting a roundtrip fare starting at US$473, according to the TTR Weekly report.<br/>
