This must be the tenth time Nok Air has started this route only to bin it a after a short while. And the cost to BKK just ain't worth it given you still have to get a taxi to BKK Int

Of course the shuttle can be used. On reading another post on Thai visa it seems the shuttle is every 30minutes from 5am to midnight with a target travel time of 50 minutes, the poster noted that his trip took 87minutes. There is no baggage facility on the shuttle so your bag must go on your lap if the bus is full.

I made a mistake with the price it is now well cheaper than the last time Nok offered this route, cheaper than a taxi, I wonder how long they can hold that price.

With the times and days they're flying, I think it would be more useful for people weekending from Bangkok to Hua Hin than those wanting to fly out of BKK.

Seems to be more for weekenders than people coming to Hua Hin for an extended stay. 15kg baggage allowance is too little. I wonder if they allow more and how much the excess baggage charge would be.

If you purchase the cheepest fare (NOK Eco) that only has 15 kg included, you can add
5 kg for 175 baht
10 kg for 350 baht
15 kg for 525 baht
20 kg for 700 baht
25 kg for 875 baht

They also has the NOK Flexi that gives you 20 kg included. And you can buy additional weight for the same price as for the Eco package.

I see on their website that they are still flying from Bangkok to Hua Hin. Anyone who have taken this flight or have any other experiences with Nok Air?

I will only fly Nok Air in Thailand. Easy to book tickets and not a lot of tricks to get you to pay more. Also free baggage, snack on flight and best of all some nice Eye Candy walking the aisles.

We are landing at Hua Hin airport at 19:45, are there usually taxis available at the airport at that time?

Looks like the Thursday flights are not economic enough... :( I got an email earlier today:
1. Transfer to other available Nok Air flight without any additional charges or change traveling date/flight

- Flight DD7020 dep. from Don Mueang (DMK) at 19:15 and arr. Hua Hin (HHQ) at 19:45 hrs. (available everyday except Thursday)

1.2 Transfer to other available Nok Air flight without any additional charges or change traveling date/flight

2. Keep the credit of the mentioned flight for the next journey within 3 months from your original flight date

3. Refund the ticket (within 45 working days)
So hoping to get the reservation changed to Friday March 7th... :|
