Special airfare discounts on all domesticroutes will also be offered.
Flights are scheduled to operate to mainairports across the country, including Phuket, Chiang Mai, Samui, UbonRatchathani, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen on April 11-12 and again on April 15-16.
This aligns with the Cabinet's decision toextend the Thai New Year holiday to five days from April 12 to 16.
As manyof these special flights will operate outside the regular schedule on thoseroutes, such as early morning or late at night, airlines have introduced specialprice promotions. Passengers will thus pay reduced fares, with up to a 20%discount from the normal ticket prices./.
