About Bangkok Airways

Bangkok Airways (IATA: PG) is Thailand's privately owned, full-service "boutique airline of Asia," founded in 1968 and known for a level of service and comfort well above what most regional carriers offer. It is not a member of any global alliance, but it maintains interline agreements with numerous international airlines, making it easy to connect onto its network from long-haul flights arriving in Bangkok.

What truly sets Bangkok Airways apart is that it privately owns and operates several of the airports it serves, including Samui Airport (USM), Sukhothai Airport (THS), and Trat Airport (TDX) — a rarity in the airline industry. It built the Samui airport in the 1980s to open up what is now one of Thailand's most popular island getaways, and remains the dominant operator on the Bangkok–Koh Samui route. The airline also offers complimentary Boutique Lounge access to every passenger, even in Economy, at Bangkok, Samui, and other Bangkok Airways-operated airports. FareOptic compares Bangkok Airways fares across its domestic Thai and regional Southeast Asian network to help you find the best PG ticket price.

Tips to Book Cheap Bangkok Airways Flights

  • 1.Bangkok Airways is the dominant carrier on BKK–USM (Koh Samui) — book early during high season (December–March) as fares rise quickly.
  • 2.Compare Bangkok Airways against connecting itineraries via other carriers plus a domestic transfer — direct PG flights often save time even at a similar price.
  • 3.Since Bangkok Airways owns the Samui, Sukhothai, and Trat airports, its schedules to these destinations are usually the most frequent and reliable option.
  • 4.Business Class is worth considering on longer regional international routes like BKK–Macau for the extra comfort and lounge access.
  • 5.Even in Economy, you get a free lounge visit and full meal service — factor this into value comparisons against budget carriers.
  • 6.FlyerBonus members should register before booking to start earning points, especially for repeat trips to Koh Samui or regional cities.
  • 7.Bangkok Airways' regional international routes (Siem Reap, Luang Prabang) are useful for multi-country Southeast Asia itineraries.
  • 8.Use FareOptic to compare Bangkok Airways fares against Thai AirAsia and Nok Air for the same domestic routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking Bangkok Airways flights on FareOptic

Does Bangkok Airways really own its own airports?

Yes. Bangkok Airways is unusual among airlines in that it privately owns and operates several of the airports it flies to, including Samui Airport (USM), Sukhothai Airport (THS), and Trat Airport (TDX). Building the Samui airport in the 1980s allowed the airline to pioneer air access to what is now one of Thailand's most popular beach destinations, and it remains the dominant carrier on the Bangkok–Koh Samui route today.

Is Bangkok Airways lounge access really free for Economy passengers?

Yes. Unlike most airlines that reserve lounges for premium cabins or elite frequent flyers, Bangkok Airways offers complimentary Boutique Lounge access to all ticketed passengers — including Economy — at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Samui, and several other Bangkok Airways-operated airports. This is one of the airline's most distinctive perks and a big part of its 'boutique airline of Asia' positioning.

Is Bangkok Airways part of a global alliance?

No, Bangkok Airways is not a member of Star Alliance, Oneworld, or SkyTeam.
