Re: AirAsia to fly to Hua Hin from May 18
Looks as if Hua Hin airport is going to become active again,the Air Asia website is up and running, and are offering promo return flights,as of this morning from 2700baht,HH,to KUL,based upon a return flight booked for end may.This does not include any checked baggage,which as always is extra,the cabin allowance the usual 7kg.
The departure times from both airports are reasonable also,HH at 11,30,KUL at 10,00.
Will be interesting to see how the service pans out in the coming months.

If I recall correctly, AirAsia wanted a deal whereby Thailand pays to upgrade the airport, plus they wanted free or reduced landing fees for the initial period of operation.Thistle wrote:Looks as if Hua Hin airport is going to become active again,the Air Asia website is up and running, and are offering promo return flights,as of this morning from 2700baht,HH,to KUL,based upon a return flight booked for end may.This does not include any checked baggage,which as always is extra,the cabin allowance the usual 7kg.

So the Department of Airports decided to invest in services at the airport. They'll have to setup immigration, security, baggage handling, increased fire services.
FYI Hua Hin airport IATA code is HHQ

Re: AirAsia to fly KL to Hua Hin from May 18
Only 30 minutes between landing and take off from HH is pretty fast to get everybody off, everybody on, clean and refuel (unless it comes with enough fuel for the return flight). Still if it gets good reports, I might give it a try.

What's the actual flying time on this route?

Re: AirAsia to fly KL to Hua Hin from May 18
Depends a bit on just what aircraft that they use. But actual air time less than 2 hours.

Hua Hin airport ready for first flight from Kuala Lumpur
Hua Hin airport in southern Thailand has been ready for the first passenger flight from Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur on upcoming Friday, said airport director Aphisit Ubonkomut Monday.
Hua Hin airport, about 200 km south of Bangkok, is scheduled to welcome the inaugural flight of Malaysia's low-cost carrier AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur on Friday.
AirAsia's Airbus A320 airliner is scheduled to leave Kuala Lumpur for Hua Hin in a one-hour flight carrying 150 passengers and crewmembers.
Given Hua Hin-Kuala Lumpur air travels, an increased number of Malaysian tourists are expected to visit the world's renowned seaside resort and nearby spots, the airport director said.
