After going though customs I find my 2 friends waiting for me outside. We go upstairs to the departure level to check ourselves in and get our boarding cards.
We go through security controls and on the other-side we go straight to the Bangkok Airways lounge.
At the entrance the lounge dragon probably hates her job but she clings on it…

The lounge is a little crowded but we'll find 3 seats on the left part of the lounge.
The buffet is much better than when I last came here.

Some beautiful orchids can be found everywhere in the lounge, you know you are in Thailand !

My selection from the buffet. I really like the banana sticky rice with red beans. There was also a seafood quiche, red bean croissants, sundried bananas, tuna sandwiches and rice crackers.

After reading a couple of email and chat with my friends, we started to walk to the boarding gate towards our Airbus 320 HS-PGV painted with the Krabi colours. A bus will take us to the plane.

The flight is rather full tonight and we are amongst the first to board.

Like many airlines in Asia, Bangkok Airways sells articles with its logo.

The legroom.

After a short taxi we took off in the night towards Chiang Mai.
The flight is short so the cabin attendants started the service soon after.

Dring the flight we'll be able to watch Just for Laughs on the screen.

The cabin crew will serve a tray with sandwiches and an excellent Banana crumble.

For the drinks you have a choice of coffee, water and orange juice which is EXCESSIVELY sweet, even for me and I have a sweet tooth !

The cabin is quiet, a lot of people are asleep…

Conclusion

The flight departed on time

The comfort in economy class is what it is but the lounge is earning the airline a few more points !

If only the staff smiled a little more, particularly the lounge dragon...

Having a snack was great for such a short flight. Yet the orange colored and flavored drink was way too sweet !

  • Sympa ce FR,merci.

  • Un mauvais point à manureva744 pour avoir choisi un banal A320 pour le FR n° 777, lol. En punition, vous posterez le n° 787 sur cet appareil (ce n'est pas gagné..)

    Clin d'oeil mis à part, merci pour ce FR !

  • Oui je sais... mais je n'avais que ca en machine malheureusement. Bon prochain épisode ce soir avec un vol Bangkok Airways en ATR 72.

  • Merci pour ce FR

  • Merci pour ce FR. Impressionnant le catering pour un vol si court, ça change de l'Europe.

  • Sympa le buffet et plutot pas mal le catering pour un tel vol.

    Merci

  • Merci pour ce FR ! Effectivement, pour un FR n°777, cela aurai pu être autre chose...j'ai un avion en tête déjà...=D

    Grâce au site de la Thaï, je sais quel avion je prendrai demain pour ce vol (départ vers 16h je crois) : un 777-200ER !! Moi qui adore le 777, je suis servi !

  • Merci pour ce FR

    Vraiment sympa cette boutique airline, l'idée du salon pour tous est génial, ça valorise le voyage et permet de clairement se differencier des low-costs, le plateau à bord est très correct au vu de la durée du vol.

    @A32X77WL

    Très bon voyage et n'oubliez pas de prendre PLEIN de photos!

  • @marathon

    Nous venons de rajouter \787-8\ dans la liste des avions, comme ça aucune escuse pour ne pas poster le 787 FR avec cette avion XD

  • Merci pour ce FR

    Bon point pour le repas (on ne nous aurait servi qu'un verre d'eau et un sucré:salé pour ce type de vol en europe) et aussi pour l'espace pour le jambes, assez grand!
