China Southern Airlines will offer a new flight option from Bangkok to Mexico City, one that will significantly cut travel time between both ends. Cen Ling, China Southern's general manager for Thailand, told the Bangkok Post that the combined flight time from Bangkok to Mexico City will be 22.5 hours, or 26 hours when including layover time in Guangzhou and Vancouver. China Southern is counting on traffic from Thailand to support the launch of the Mexican service, the first of its kind by a Chinese carrier. The target passengers on the route are Mexican expats and Thai business people, Mr Cen said, but China Southern also wants to entice adventure-seeking Thai tourists. China Southern is offering a promotional round-trip fare between Bangkok and Mexico City on economy class starting at 35,730 baht, inclusive of VAT.
