Booking on NOK Air

[thalenoi]

Since it was mentionned here? you now can book and pay online with international credit card on NOk Air I gave it a try.

Hmm, their system asks which country your credit card comes from (what the heck? that's a first time...) and then gives a drop down list with possible banks, but not mine...you guess the result....anyway, the price for a return business class was 3700 baht, allows you 30kg of luggage.

Ok, I drove to BIG C where there is a travel agency claiming you can book and pay on NOK Air. Yes, at 5200 baht....

Drove to the airport where i was helped by a friendly lady, booked eco way out, business way back, 3200 baht, looks same as internet booking.

So the credit card payment is not really sorted out yet.

Me too - no problem

The only problem is where you end up at (Don Muang) - or is that meuang now ???

They still having problems with accepting foreign creditcards. About 1 1\2 month ago I could book flights with my cc an was thinking they solved the problems they had in the past. 2 weeks ago I try again to book some flight.....and it didnt work anymore and I try 2 of my cards. Im not the only one having trouble AGAIN because all of my friends with foreign cc can't book flights too!!

my card is issued by egg (parent company prudential) in the UK and the system worked fine.
maybe some card issuers work and some dont???

I tried during Jan this year and it did not work for me. On the other hand a friend of mine got his to work just fine during the same time period. I think next year I'll fly Thai.

How was the charter bus trip to the new Airport, if you took it of course. I'm on my way out end of this month and just found out NOK is my best option for connections because of this 1 hour bus trip

Or an opinion from anyone who has done the trip would be good, with some pointers as to where to pay for and pick up the bus etc.

Nok say if it's an overseas (non-Thai) credit card, you must fax a copy of it to them in support of your booking. If you have done that recently, then you don't need to do it again or each time.

If you are buying your ticket in person at the airport counter, the above doesn't apply, and you can use your overseas credit card without problem.

(Understood that would present more of a problem if you are trying to book with them from outside the UK. You would then have to fax a copy of your credit card to them.)
