One-Two-Go offers ’shuttle’ service
The Bangkok Post reports that One-Two-Go Airlines is coming up with a new flight concept in the hope of gaining an edge over rival budget carriers by offering flexible boarding and better punctuality. “The concept is like taking a shuttle bus that gets off regularly with no fuss,” explained One-Two-Go CE Udom Tantiprasongchai. The airline will launch shuttle service between Bangkok and Chiang Mai on November 22, offering the highest frequency of any airline operating on the route. One-Two-Go would offer nine flights a day on the route, up from three currently, or roughly one flight every 90 minutes, with the first flight departing at 07:00 and the last at 20:00. Such a high frequency allows last-minute purchase of tickets, and allows customers to change flights with minimum advanced notification and without risk of having tickets voided or subject to penalty charges. The ticket come in the form of prepaid card and are valid for one month. In another development, the airline on December 1 will raise its all-inclusive one-way ticket price by 100 baht to 1,850 baht because of higher jet fuel prices.
