Trip Report: Bangkok Airways PG276 Phuket to Bangkok



Introduction

This trip report is for flight undertaken in 2012. Was visiting Thailand with friends. Read trip report: Thai Air Asia HS-ABL FD3525 Singapore - Phuket

There were various exotic flight options to fly between Phuket and Bangkok like Orient Thai, unfortunately Orient Thai accepted only Thai based cards. Thai Airways was expensive, Had flown Air Asia on Singapore- Phuket route. Decided to book with Bangkok Airways as it was providing full service and my card was accepted while booking the tickets.

After spending few days in Phuket, it was time to fly to Bangkok. Arriving at the airport. Took a shared taxi to arrive at the airport.

Conclusion

Bangkok Airways was efficient, customer service was good. Didn't like the meal as the chicken wing was a hard, I didnt finish the meal. Overall satisfactory for a short flight.
Phuket airport passed through the old terminal. Being domestic wing nothing much in terms of customer amenities. At Bangkok Suvarnabhumi it was a long walk was long for baggage collection, bag arrived by the time we reached the baggage claim area. Airport customer service wasn't good when asking for direction to the Bangkok metro.
