Special airfare discounts on all domestic routes will also be offered.
Flights are scheduled to operate to main airports across the country, including Phuket, Chiang Mai, Samui, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen on April 11-12 and again on April 15-16.
This aligns with the Cabinet's decision to extend the Thai New Year holiday to five days from April 12 to 16.
As many of these special flights will operate outside the regular schedule on those routes, such as early morning or late at night, airlines have introduced special price promotions. Passengers will thus pay reduced fares, with up to a 20% discount from the normal ticket prices./.
