DRUK AIR review : 31 May 2008 : by Dio Samsoeri

Customer Rating : 4/5

4 Star Rating

Bangkok-Paro-Bangkok via Dacca in Royal Executive Class. Satisfactory experience, friendly and polite cabin crews on both sectors. Food acceptable with a bar service during lunch time on flight from Dacca to Bangkok. Modern A 319 aircraft under a good maintenance, clean and equipped with comfortable Business Class seating. It is worth extra Dollar especially if you are interested in taking picture during the final descend to Paro Airport, amazing scenery with a distant view of Himalayan range on the way and a thrilling experience as well especially if you notice the hill is only a few hundred meters away from the wings.

Bangkok-Paro via Kolkata - business class. Excellent attentive service - the extra few dollars for business is well worth it given the enormous difference in comfort and service. Incredible mountain views on this flight.

Bangkok-Paro return - via Kolkotta on the way out and Gaya on the way back. Business class. The overall experience was good - food, drink and FA service was of a very good standard. It's worth paying the little extra for business class ($40 per person each way) as the seats are roomy and comfortable, plus you get lounge access at both Bangkok and Paro, although the Paro lounge is a bit quaint. The other reason for booking business class is if your flight gets delayed, as ours did on the return journey for around five hours. There's little in the way of facilities at Paro airport so it's worth the extra for a more comfortable place to wait (and enjoy free drinks, of course). Make sure you sit on the left hand side on the flight into Paro as you get the best views of the Himalayas. And finally, don't be worried about the descent into Paro as the plane does get worryingly close to the mountainsides.

BKK/Paro/BKK business class in mid-November - new A 319s, clean and comfortable. Stops in Gaia (outward) and Kolkotta (return) were only 45 minutes. FA's warm and attentive, excellent hot breakfasts served on the longer sectors, Thai and local newspapers plus a few magazines available for reading. Views of the mountains obscured by cloud on arrival. but the twists and turns of the landing at Paro were the most exciting since Hong Kong's old Kai Tak was closed. Fabulous mountain views on departure. Overall two excellent flights.

Economy from Bangkok (BKK) to Paro (PBT) via Kolkata (CCU) on an Airbus A319. Planes are very clean inside with good service. You get a meal for the BKK-CCU leg and a snack comprising of a tiny sandwich and some cookies for the CCU-PBT leg. No form of entertainment on board in economy and no reading material as well. Bring something to do for the 2 hour flight between BKK and CCU. For the 50 minute flight between CCU and PBT, you may spend your time anticipating the view of Mount Everest and the Himalayas. Coming from Bangkok, people on the left hand side of the plane were able to get a look of Mt. Everest way off in the distance. The approach to Paro is quite the experience, as the pilots deftly guide you around the mountains and onto the runway in the middle of the valley. Checking-in for your flight to Paro requires you to show your visa approval from the Bhutan government along with your ticket. Besides the high cost of the flight, overall it was a good experience with Druk Air.

I was impressed by Druk Air though admittedly we were business class. Good food very comfortable seats (2x2) and professional friendly informative staff. We flew Delhi Khtamandu Paro and the meal was excellent on board. Sit on the left for the omost amazing view of 8 of the 10 highest mountains in the world, helpfully pointed out by the pilots commentry. A319s modern comfortable well maintained and toilets clean. Business class is definately worth the small supplement. Exceptional helpfulness of the airline when we were stranded by bad weather in Paro.

Bangkok to Paro (via Kolkata) and back on their brand new Airbus 319. The plane was very modern (touch screen controls, comfortable leather seats, etc.), and the crew was very professional and accommodating. In business class it is a 2-2 configuration, and a full meal is served between Bangkok and Kolkata (2:25), with a peanut/cracker/etc. snack between Kolkata and Paro (0:50). The ground stop took about 40 minutes, and approximately 20 people got on/off.

Went to Bhutan for a 12-day visit. The flight was ok - we flew economy, especially on the Paro bound, it was not all that packed. FA's were nice.

Druk Air, the flag carrier (and only carrier) to Bhutan's only commercial airport PARO is up to snuff. The 141 jets are dual-configured and it is worth flying C class (as I did from Delhi via Kathmandu and again from Paro to Calcutta) if only to have better maneuvering for the quite incredible flightseeing of the Himalayas. The FAs are friendly, professional, the food service is adequate if bland (reflecting the cooking of Bhutan perhaps) the check in facilities are excellent and Paro's terminal building is quite pretty, almost folksy in a way. I look forward to flying DRUK again. The name means "Dragon" in Bhutanese for otherwise why would anyone choose such an unappealing sounding word (at least to an English speaker's ear?) Druk does not cooperate in ticketing with IATA carriers and ticket costs are somewhat stiff. I doubt if the king of Bhutan will permit competition anytime soon.
