When looking for a flight on April 8th (Buriram -> DMK), there is still only the one departing at 4pm :(

Edit: In case you wonder why looking for a flight that far away is because we are flying later that day (from DMK) to Singapore for a Holiday, and that Nok Air flight would be perfect.

Having flown both Air Asia and Nok Air to Bangkok this year, I would recommend Nok.  For Air Asia everything is an extra charge.  In addition Asia parks at a gate and you have to walk about 15 minutes to Baggage Claim while Nok parks at the tarmac and buses you right to Baggage claim. 

While Air Asia flies a jet and the Nok a prop, the flying times are within 10 minutes of each other.

My last AA flight from Buriram was 35 mins from wheels up to wheels down. I would rather walk for 10 mins than arse about with being bused in.

That said, I have a soft spot for those yellow uniforms.............

AA are invariably cheaper - especially if you only have hand luggage (they never check the weight).

ok lucky1962, I think you didn't read the whole thread ;)

If you do, you will see that I was looking for a Flight April 8 (Buriram -> DMK) and that is also not listed. Apparently it's only up to March 26th that they offer 2 flights a day.

Y'all have to realize that Nookie is always correct.  Just like when he said the Bamboo bar was closing.

Make sense they only show until March 26 2016 as that time frame is in the area of the end of so called high season and Nok Air is known for cutting flights into Buriram about that time of year. They will adjust.

I find that strange that it is only till March 26th because Song Kran starts (shortly) after that and that is usually a period where a lot of people fly.

But will keep checking as for us it's perfect to get into Bangkok to get the plane to Singapore and not have to travel the day before.

I have send an email to Nok asking about this, but No Reply yet.

I also called them but got the standard reply "Mai Roo"
