Flydubai to fly twice daily to Bangkok

“Bangkok is an extremely popular destination and the launch of double daily flights reflects the increasing maturity of the Flydubai network and operation,” said Ghaith Al Ghaith, the airline’s chief executive officer. 

“This route launch is an important milestone for Flydubai, offering business and leisure travellers from both Dubai and Bangkok increased choice and flexibility across our network.”

The route will run between Dubai International’s Terminal 2 and Suvarnabhumi Airport. Business-class return fares to Dubai will start at Bt28,999 and economy-class return fares will start at Bt9,499, including taxes.

The new route will allow for alternative travel options into cities that lie within easy reach of Bangkok as well as connecting routes for those looking to use Dubai as a hub into Russia and Europe, the airline says.

Business class passengers can benefit from a dedicated 24-hour “Business Team” to assist with bookings and inquiries throughout the journey, as well as priority check-in service, comfortable, spacious seats and a range of in-flight entertainment and dining options, it says.

Passengers travelling in economy class on the new Bangkok route will have access to interactive audio and video seatback entertainment systems with more than 2,000 hours of films, television and music.

Sudhir Sreedharan, senior vice president, commercial (GCC, Subcontinent and Africa) for Flydubai, said: “Since its launch, Flydubai has developed a network of more than 85 destinations. With the launch of our double daily Bangkok route, we will be further expanding travel opportunities for passengers looking to use Dubai as a hub for connecting routes from the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] to Russia and Europe.”

Flights can be booked on Flydubai.com, the airline’s contact centre (+971 600 54 44 45), Flydubai travel shops or through travel partners.
