kamui Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I would like to reserve my flights to LAOS before my arrival in LOS. Since my flight schedule isn't a simple round trip, where could I book the flight? Flight schedule: BKK-Luan Prabang Luan Prabang-Phonm Penh (via BKK, because there is no direct flight) PP-BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamui Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Bangkok Airways web site? Cheers, SD My schedule can't be booked at their website. Only BKK-LPQ-BKK, but not BKK-LPQ-(BKK)-PNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Why would you just not buy two round trip tix? One BKK-LQP-BKK and the next BKK-PNH-BKK. It sounds as if you are trying to make this harder than it has to be. I highly doubt you'll save any money booking it your way. Asian pricing just doesn't work that way IME.

MooNoi Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Kamui, There's no direct/non-stop flights from LPQ to PNH anyway, so you'll have to go through BKK or Siem Reap. I would follow SD's advice and book BKK-LPQ-BKK on the BKK Airways website, and then BKK-PNH on Thai or Air Asia's website. (If you booked Thai they are more expensive, obviously, but they will check your bags all the way thru form LPQ. If you book Air Asia, you'll have to collect your bags in BKK and re-check them AND go thru immigration - a pain in the ass!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I just contacted a local travel agent the the whole trip is quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldFun Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 yes your routes are 'exotic' with little competition so expensive now lao airlines was mentioned, but again don't expect bargains, but possible disappointment & poor service enjoy your trip(s)... by the way if it's true that there's direct flights from luang prabang to siam riep you may consider visit there instead of PP in order to perhaps save money & add to your cultural insights with the amazing angkor wat as main attraction? however if you already been there ignore my comments cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 i was thinking of booking my LP flights when i arrive in bkk. bad idea i think, i'll have to be more organised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I guys thanks for the tips. I am still contemplating if I should go to LP for three nights because of the flight costs (plus visa, plus airport fees). BUT I fear the same for LP like it happened for Siem Reap - a laid back town changing into a major tourist center within dozens of new hotels, new bars, restaurants and shops in less than 5 years. Therefore I guess I should go now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
