TG v Thai Smile v Bangkok Airways

[Isochronous]

Looking for internal Thailand HKT-BKK flights. Which airline is better?

TG for sure

They opp their 747s on that route several times a day too, which is fun!

bangkok airways is the "boutique" airline...tg domestic metal is often ancient...thai smile is an lcc but new planes

Never flown Thai Smile, but have been flying TG and BKK Airways on and off for years, and you won't go wrong with either. IMO for domestic BKK Air beat TG, but not by a great deal.

Had wonderful experiences with BKK airways and would highly recommend them.

Fly that route quite often for business and find BKK Airways great. The use of the lounge (BKK) beforehand (ok it's no F Lounge) is a nice touch. Samui has a nice one too, although the one in coughet can get crowded during the busy season.

You can't go wrong with either TG or PG - I haven't flown Thai Smile so can't comment of them - except from memory (my PA had to fly with them once), I seem to remember, you cannot checkin online.

I like BKK airways also!

Onboard service has always been great and not as many singlet and thong wearing folks onboard.

They even managed to get our bags checked from RGN - BKK - KUL with mh operating the last leg, the bags actually turned up at KUL!

TG is fine - it feels a bit like QF or BA domestically. Consistent, no surprises, etc. But...Bangkok Airways is altogether different and I really like it. Here, as Exhibit A, is their in-flight safety video: [video=youtube;nc_-y56UiHM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc_-y56UiHM[/video]

Bangkok airways. Flew to USM and from there to SIN, really enjoyed it. Haven't used TG internally but the lounge etc are great features. The best part is it seems most of their customers don't realise that the lounge is complimentary, so it's not even really crowded!

Another vote here for Bangkok Airways. They have great food, engaged service, and really make it a joYurney.
