The Fly Thru services via Don Mueang Airport provide seamless connections to popular Thai destinations such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Krabi.
Additionally, international connections are available to Da Nang in Vietnam and several cities in India, including Chennai, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad. Resuming Popular Routes with Added Convenience In response to high demand, Thai AirAsia X is also set to resume its popular Bangkok (Don Mueang) to Sydney route with six flights a week starting December 1, 2024. Promotional fares for this route begin at just 5,990 THB one way.
For added convenience, travelers can book Fly Thru services from other major Thai cities, including Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai, with a short stopover at Don Mueang, to Sydney. All-in fares for these connections start from 10,027 THB one way, exclusively available on the AirAsia MOVE app and airasia.com.
With these new offerings, Thai AirAsia X continues to strengthen its network, providing travelers with more options and competitive pricing for their year-end journeys. Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia X, commented: “Thai AirAsia X is returning to Sydney with a better network, schedule and enhanced connectivity spanning over 50 Aussie favourite destinations in Thailand and beyond to meet strong demand.
“At the same time, we are increasing the number of flights between both destinations to fly six times weekly every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday (2 flights), and Saturday. Arriving at Don Mueang Airport (DMK) makes the route even more convenient, placing passengers just 30 minutes from central Bangkok via public transport options such as the sky train (Red Line), airport bus, and taxi cabs. Outbound travellers with connecting services will also save time at the airport by being able to quickly pass from check-in through immigration to their gate at the same airport with no need to change airport terminals like before.
“Thai AirAsia X operating out of Don Mueang Airport enables travellers to connect to many more Thai AirAsia destinations throughout Thailand and internationally, in particular, the Indian market that is in high demand. Passengers can choose Fly Thru service at Don Mueang Airport to pass through immigration and receive their luggage at their terminal destination, allowing for even further journeys” Mr. Tassapon said.
Thai AirAsia X currently operates a fleet of eight Airbus A330 aircraft and plans to expand to 11 by the end of the year, with further fleet growth expected in the coming years. The airline currently serves seven key destinations, including Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, Shanghai in China, and Sydney in Australia. Additionally, it connects with the broader AirAsia Group network, which includes over 150 destinations via key hubs in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Manila.
