BKK-LPQ-BKK Wonderful and attentive service on both legs. PG offers departure lounges for all
passengers at each airport served and they are nicely appointed with a variety of amenities.
Hot meals were served in both directions with wine and beer available as well at no cost. The
crews are gracious and attentive. I made a request and the FA returned to tell me when and how
it would be attended to. Absolutely met expectations.

Nice aircraft, staff and food is ok, plus nice comfortable lounge to wait in. Although my last
two flights were delayed which didnt make for nice trip I have to commend the staff on our
first flight. We were connecting to an international flight (so was another pax) in flight on
descent we were moved to the front business section. We were escorted with another pax off
first and to a waiting van and whisked away to the terminal, we had plenty of time but the
other passenger was very late for his connection but the girl RAN with him to show him all the
way to his next gate. Thanks for the awesome service, best I have received. Return flight was
delayed 3 hours! not good, we asked when we arrived in if we could get on the earlier flight
but was told there was $100 charge to change flights so didn't. Then after that flight left
ours was delayed 3 hours, we would have paid the $100!

BKK-PNH, though a short flight we were provided with a delicious meal, complete with
complimentary wine (in Economy Class!). The flight attendants did not hesitate to provide you
with more than one drink. They were very generous and let us finish our food even though the
plane was already landing. I personally was amazed at the service - in the US you would expect
orange juice and peanuts.

Short flight between Phnom Penh and Bangkok. Only a 50 minute flight yet they still came round
with a 3 course meal, when I said I was vegetarian they offered me a selection of different
starters and bread rolls to make up for the fact I couldn't eat the main. Pilot offered a lot
of information.

BKK-HKT-BKK. Lounge at BKK had nice snacks, drinks and WIFI! Service friendly and professional
on the ground and in the air. I even liked the sandwiches they served onboard. What a
wonderful way to fly!

LHR-BKK-USM. I've flown with them 6 times over the last 18 months and great with no problems.
They also code share with Eva air which makes life easier when you need to make a connecting
flight with them. Your luggage is automatically transferred. On one occasion I had to wait
about 2.5 hours for the connecting flight to Samui - when I checked in they said there are
seats on an earlier flight that leaves in 40 mins if you can make it to the gate in time,
which I did.

BKK-CNX return. 2 adults and 2 teenagers. This is a wonderful airline. No queues at BKK and
fast check in. Didn't check out their lounge but looked great from the outside. Got
tea/coffee/juice onboard with a croissant which was great. The flight was smooth and less than
1 hour. The plane was very clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Baggage is returned
quickly. Overall a great, cheap airline. Would certainly use in the future.

Bangkok - Koh Samui - Chiang Mai - Bangkok. This may read like the last review I wrote for
this airline two years ago but I love this airline. Check in is a dream in BKK. There were no
queues at all. The ground staff were incredibly nice. The economy class lounges really set
this airline apart as they are open to all. They may be basic, but they really do add to the
holiday experience (which I'm guessing 95% of their passengers are doing). Their fleet is very
new and incredibly clean. In flight service isn't quite what it was (no hot meal any more),
but you really don't need more than a sandwich on hour-long flights. The only frustration
about the airline is when they make you get a bus at BKK - either from or to the aircraft.
They really shouldn't still be doing this at such a new airport - especially for A319 jets
(ATRs are different). Baggage is always returned quickly and the experience is always a good one.

Bangkok - Phuket return A320. We heard excellent reviews about Bangkok Airways but our
experience was disappointing. Both planes were reasonably clean but old and tired. We had to
use customer service via phone to change the dates on our tickets and that wasn't the best
experience, but it got the job done. FAs not particularly friendlyh. The prices we paid were
not much more expensive than Air Asia and not much cheaper than Thai Airways.

An excellent airline in the air and on the ground. My wife and I have flown numerous times
with Bangkok Airways and have always found them to be so friendly and helpful. After
disembarking from a long haul flight to Bangkok it is so relaxing to unwind in the comfort and
friendly atmosphere of their lounge prior to continuing our journey to Samui or Phuket. Flying
with them is a pleasure and when assistance is needed on any matter from booking flights
through to completing the trip it is given in a friendly and helpful way by the customer
relations department. We will certainly continue to fly Bangkok Airways.

Bangkok Airways is my carrier of choice between CNX and BKK. I recently came back to from
Guangzhou and needed a ticket to CNX. I had expected to have to fly with Air Asia but checked
the price with PG first. I was offered a seat on the new late flight at the same cheap webfare
I had seen online while in china. At last a carrier that actually wants and appreciates your
business. I was able to spend several comfortable hours in domestic lounge, read up on the
news about Thailand, check email and unwind after a fairly long day that far. Travelling again
next week, and managed to get the same webfare through an appointed agent in Chiang Mai for
the leg down to BKK. Also glad to see that the dreadful cold chicken burger has been binned
for something more edible. Cheaper than TG and worth the extra over flying the unreliable Air Asia.

BKK-Siem Reap, bussed out to small propellor plane. Small inside, not room for large bags.
Bumpy but interesting flight - in 55 mins had nice snack box, tea coffee run and water and
beer. Efficient and clean. Not cheap but a good quality.

Bangkok-Phnom Pehn return. The lounge comfort and food and drink great. Flew seat 4A outbound,

efficient. Aircraft clean and quiet.

BKK-USM return in economy. Lounge in Bangkok available to all passengers and is great for
relaxing before flight. Given exit row seats both flights without asking. Service onboard good
for short 50 min flight. Even offered meal and drink. Pretty good airline overall, but they
have a virtual monopoly on Bangkok-Samui route.

Phnom Penh to Bangkok on evening flight. Very easy and quick check-in but then Phnom Penh is a great little airport. Flight to Bangkok was on time. Meal very good for a 50 minute flight and
choice of reasonable red or white wine. Bussed from aircraft to terminal (happens quite often with Bangkok Airways flights) but baggage arrived almost as soon as I had been processed
through immigration. This is a great regional airline but its a pity it still does not fly to Ho Chi Minh.

BKK-TRAT, Siem Reap to BKK in economy. Bangkok Airways offers service within Thailand, but to
Cambodia and Vietnam as well. I didn't expect a lot. Small aircraft, but in very visual
condition and crew was keen to make this a very pleasant flight. They even served a decent
breakfast, a light meal on both flights, although the flight time was just over an hour.
So in total it was a very recommendable performance and especially considering the price level
I would fly them again!

Bangkok to Samui business class. Separate check in and excellent lounge in Bangkok and
priority boarding. Full menu and choice of soft drink or beer inbound and outbound. Separate
check in and smaller but air conditioned lounge in Samui. What let the service down was the
chaotic boarding in Samui. Business class passengers had to queue up at gates together with
economy passengers only to be segregated onto transporters according to ticket class. This
took ages and then all classes were moved to the aircraft together. To be a true business
class service they need to call business class passengers first, and get them on the way to
the aircraft before they start to call the economy class passengers.

BKK-HKT return. Bangkok Air is a good, inexpensive regional airline. I have flown them several
times and like them due to their up front pricing-no bag fees, etc. Economy class lounge at
BKK a nice touch. Check-in and cabin service efficient. Quality of food could be better. They
fly new aircraft for the most part. In general cheaper and less hassle than TG or Air Asia
(which charges you for everything).

Bangkok-Chiang Mai, everyone could use the lounge which was very fine, A319 in perfect
condition. Service onboard very good, they served a sandwich, juice and coffee/tea. Crew
smiling and helpful.The 4 star status of Bangkok Airways is absolutely reasonable.

Bangkok - Siem Reap, Bangkok - Phuket return on both legs. Service between BKK and Siem Reap
is fantastic, crew able to perform a full service on such a short flight. Everything runs
smoothly and delivers a professional experience. The lounge is Bangkok is a definite plus for
this airline. Aircraft seems to be in decent conditions. You can find cheaper flights I think
but have not tested the quality of service of the competitors.

BKK-REP then REP-BKK-HKT. All flights on time in fairly new and clean aircraft. Pleasant staff
who managed to feed the passengers and do two drink runs on such shorts flights. Expensive
since they have a monopoly to Cambodia out of BKK but not a waste. Efficient and reliable airline.

BKK-USM-BKK. As PG and TG share this route between them, they can dictate the relatively high
prices. The lounge hardly provides a haven due to the fact that everyone on the flight has
access and can become noisy and does not compensate for the overpriced flights. The equipment
was clean, however, the crew on the flight to USM were a little indifferent. A small packaged
snack is provided, which is of poor quality and really not worth the trouble - particularly
when it was virtually thrown into the lap of my wife. As competition is seemingly controlled,
I would prefer it if they charged a realistic price and got rid of all of the gimmicks.

BKK-USM-UTP. Good flight to Samui, on time and in a clean, new aircraft. I was delayed on
arrival to BKK and had to change my flight which Bangkok Airways did without a problem and for
only a minor charge. The return flight to U-Tapao in the small prop was again on time and
hassle free. The only problems with Bangkok Airways are the food served onboard is pretty poor
and they are slightly overpriced. Apart from that Bangkok Airways is a good airline.
