Budget airline Thai Vietjet is expanding its wings with new direct flights between Bangkok, Thailand, and Okinawa in Japan, in collaboration with leading Thai travel agency Tourladfah Co., Ltd.
The new route is the only nonstop service between the two major Asian hubs.
The route between Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and Okinawa’s Naha Airport will fly twice per week on Thursdays and Sundays, starting March 16, 2023.
Flight VZ3800 will depart from Bangkok at 8.50am and flight VZ3801 will depart from Okinawa at 4pm.
The new route aims to bolster travel between the two countries. Japan is the #1 desired travel destination among Thais, so the route is expected to thrive.
The only way to get to Okinawa from Bangkok at present is to layover somewhere like Fukuoka, Incheon, Taiwan, or Hong Kong.
