Promotional fares for the Don Mueang-Dhaka
flights start from 3,590 THB per trip for AirAsia members,
while the Don Mueang-Lucknow flights are available from 3,290 THB per trip.
The special fares can be booked up to 16 October 2022 for
travel between Don Mueang-Dhaka from 24 November 2022 and 25 March
2023, and Don Mueang-Lucknow from 4 December 2022 to 25 March 2022, via
the
airasia Super App.
“The travel appetite has improved since
COVID19 restrictions were relaxed. The South Asian markets have
grown rapidly in the recent period and AirAsia now operates six
routes to the region, flying Don Mueang to Kolkata, Kochi, Jaipur,
Bangalore and Chennai in India and to Maldives. All of the routes
have been well received, especially by Indian travelers who have
been connecting across Thailand. Data from the Tourism Authority
of Thailand show the fast growing number of tourists from India
and South Asia have so far visited Thailand this year and the
inflow is expected to continue into 2023,” said Santisuk Klongchaiya, Chief Executive Officer
of AirAsia Thailand. “Dhaka and Lucknow are new and exciting
destinations AirAsia will be flying direct to for the first time
with these additions. On top of attracting tourists to Thailand,
the unique and magnificent architecture of these two cities should
make them another popular aspiration for avid Thai travelers
looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
