You do get a 7kg cabin baggage allowance along with an additional 3kg laptop allowance. It is interesting to note many full-service carriers do not offer the extra laptop allowance. If you are planning a last-minute New Year’s Eve vacation, combine this flight with the free Thailand Visa on Arrival to get a good deal.
Bottomline
Another New Delhi-Bangkok connection. This will represent a significant capacity addition as NokScoot will operate a 415 seat 777-200ER. Thai (19x weekly 777 flights), Air India (1x daily A321 and 1x daily 787), Jet Airways (3x daily 737) and SpiceJet (1x daily 737 flights) already operates on the New Delhi-Bangkok route. NokScoot may launch another Indian destination in Q1 2019.
Will you be flying on NokScoot’s new route to New Delhi?
Good airlines.
Love to travel with them
One Thing to note is that the flight lands at Don Mueang airport and not Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Don Muang is geographically closer to the city center, while Suvarnabhumi Airport connects with Airport Rail Link which connects to the BTS Skytrain, whereas Don Muang Airport does not connect with any express rail. From Don Muang, you need to take a bus around 30 minutes or so (depending on the traffic) to reach the BTS Skytrain.
