New codeshare - EK with PG

Hi,

just read, ref: http://airlineroute.net/2015/08/06/e...deshare-aug15/

Posted at 0600GMT 06AUG15

Emirates starting next week is expanding its network in South East Asia, as it launches new codeshare partnership with Bangkok Airways. From 12AUG15, Emirates’ EK code will be placed on following Bangkok Airways service:

Bangkok – Chiang Mai
Bangkok – Chiang Rai
Bangkok – Koh Samui
Bangkok – Krabi
Bangkok – Lampang
Bangkok – Mandalay
Bangkok – Nay Pyi Taw
Bangkok – Phnom Penh
Bangkok – Phuket
Bangkok – Siem Reap
Bangkok – Sukhothai
Bangkok – Trat
Bangkok – Udon Thani
Bangkok – Yangon
Koh Samui – Kuala Lumpur
Koh Samui – Phuket
Koh Samui – Singapore
Phuket – Chiang Mai
Phuket – U-Tapao
What changes to existing booking?

I have HAM-DXB-BKK-USM-BKK-DXB-HAM in a few weeks, all booked on Emirates website.

What changes?

ive been trying to book DXB-BKK-RGN for the last few weeks but only getting the TG airways flights between BKK-RGN which have really long connections. After 12th august should i be able to book BKK-RGN on PG which have much better connection times?

I flew BHX/DXB/BKK/RGN return in January, all booked through EK with the RGN sector on PG.
I have booked again for December out/back January same routing using multiple destinations option and chose the PG flights for better timings rather than MAI/TG
My EK418 connects to PG705 out and PG702 connects to EK377 return. My PG flights are all economy although my EK are in F and J with luggage allowances carried over to PG flights
The PG flights could be busy-they are already shown as code share with JAL,Qatar,Etihad,Qantas and Air France!

Just as an aside, EK377 was recently changed to a 2 Class A380. If you've selected seats based on a B777, you may want to go and change them now.

ETA: Forget that, I see from another thread you've already done it.

PG is a good little airline, just took return flights in Y with them BKK-KBV priced about the same as TG, on the 1 hour hop got a meal both ways with a coffee and tea run, compared to TG J which I took on the same route last year I got a comparable meal.
Seat pitch in Y is about as generous as I have seen on any airline, at 6'3 I had a good 5-6 inches between my knees a d the seat in front.
Good move by EK using them.

Great to se destinations like Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Krabi, Phnom Penh, Siam Riep and Yangon added from BKK.

Hopefully some of these destinations will be nonstop from DXB/DWC any time soon.

Don't forget the lounge access for all passengers (incl. Y) - saves you waiting in the food court at BKK Concourse B! I agree though, PG is a great little airline.

I doubt RGN will come soon,QR are well ensconced and even though they have moved to an A330 from A319LH they have not yet moved to daily so the traffic is not yet there.
I cancelled my tickets when they changed their arrival to 04.45!! and booked the EK flights which even with an extra stop were easier on my body

Not now, but maybe in 3 or 5 years? Phnom Penh or Hanoi hopefully as well.

I had few flights with them last year and was very pleased with them. They even have a lounge for economy passengers in Bangkok.
