More seats on domestic flights for Thai holidays

Residents of Thailand are getting ready for the holidays but instead of celebrating Christmas, they will be getting of work and traveling for Constitution Day and New Year. In order to accommodate the anticipated demand in travel from December 8th to 10th and from December 26th to January 6th, 2007, Thai Airways International has made some changes to their flight schedule, particularly on routes to Chiang Mai and Phuket.

During the holiday period, Thai Airways will be adding an additional 35 flights to routes to Chiang Mai and Phuket, offering an extra 13,140 seats, an increase of 9.12 per cent in their usual operations.

Two more flights will be available from Bangkok to Chiang Mai for the Constitution Day holiday and two flights will be added on the route from Bangkok to Phuket over that period as well.

During the New Year period, Thai Airways will use larger aircrafts on three flights on the route from Bangkok to Chiang Mai as well as adding a total of ten new flights to the schedule. Between Bangkok and Phuket, one flight will use a larger aircraft than usual and 17 additional flights will be available to travelers in addition to the regularly scheduled services.
