Then we took Bangkok Airways REP-(layover in BKK)-USM. That was a little more expensive...like $150US in coach.
How did you find Lao Airlines, i'm still a bit scared about them after they had that crash back in 2013.

My route LPQ-BKK-KUL-LGK is around $430US all one-way economy but i'm going to book the flights on points. Bangkok Airways with Asia Miles and Malaysian Airlines with Qantas points which will get it down to about $80US
