Bangkok Airways PG 701 Flight to Yangon

When flying to Yangon, consider flying Bangkok Airways. Service is great and the plane is new - an Airbus 320. Flights from Bangkok to Yangon depart daily from Terminal 2 of the Don Muang International Airport.

Bangkok to Yangon PG 701 ETD 1120H ETA 1210H
Yangon to Bangkok PG 702 ETD 1310H ETA 1500H

Booking can be done via their website and they offer promotional rates to other destinations as well.

Qatar Airways

2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

QATAR airways based in Doha has become the first middle eastern airline to fly to Yangon directly from Doha, thus connecting Yangon to Middle East, Europe and Indian Subcontinent and Africa. When I visited their offices opposite traders hotel, they were offering 600 usd round trip tickets to joburg and capetown from yangon.. not a bad deal..
For me the interest was to fly to Cochin, which I could do via Doha with good connections. The other way to get to Cochin was via singapore.. you choose

Apart from the state owned Myanma Airways, considered the worst airline in the world, there are two other private airlines, yangon airways and air mandalay, both shared by the government with foreign investors. a new airline has joined the increasing tourist trade: Air Bagan which flies not only the usual tourist routes but places only myanma airways used to fly for example pu tao in the kachin state.
they use atr 42 and i saw one fokker 100 with their lotus logo on its tail at yangon airport recently
