Bangkok Airways will start tomorrow imposing fees for passengers who do not turn up without prior request for a change of flight. The fees will be imposed on both domestic and international flights at 500 baht per leg on domestic flights for an economy class ticket and 1,000 baht for international services. Business class passengers will be subject to a 1,000-baht per leg fee for domestic travel and 2,000 baht for international flights. As a full-service airline, Bangkok Airways has not imposed such fees before, although others such as Cathay Pacific do have no-show penalty fees. However, the Bangkok Airways insider said some of the higher-tier tickets -- those who pay the top fares and are categorised as "favoured" flyers -- may not be forced to pay the no-show fees.
