Cons: "We got drinking water after landing. Would be better to provide some snacks on the way out."
Pros: "Brilliantly safety-conscious crew but very personable."
Cons: "It would been very nice to not have to board a shuttle bus to be taken to the flight in BKK."
Cons: "Since no one was in first class and I was in the first row not allowing me to use the restroom Up front when there was a long line in the back seemed rude"
Pros: "Good meal"
Cons: "Check in and luggage drop for share code with Thai airways. It is not clear instruction when booking with Thai airways. We lost time with Thai airways but finally need to drop the luggage at Thai smil counter."
Pros: "Super cool light meal in a little bag. Best budget airline I have flown."
Cons: "An hour delay for no expressed reason is not acceptable."
Pros: "Airfare was reasonably priced."
Cons: "Delay. This was the third flight in a week that I encountered flight delays of up to 15-20 minutes."
Pros: "Friendly staff overall good experience."
Cons: "Only issue is there is no alchohol on these flights."
Pros: "Our train from Chiang Mai was 2 hrs late. Our taxi driver sped us as fast as he could, but we had only 15 min from check in to the airplane take off. The counter personnel were so helpful in calling the gate for permission to board. We ran across the airport and made it thanks to Thai Smile staff."
Cons: "Vegetarian food option"
Pros: "Boarding was super fast and efficient. For a 1,5 hour flight, we were given food and drinks. Can’t find that in the US."
Cons: "Loved everything"
Pros: "Absolutely nothing"
Cons: "Food was more than pathetic, service was horrible and flying experience was very poor. Everything could be better"
Pros: "Open bar! Drink all you can! :D"
Cons: "Free inflight wifi would have made the flight much more enjoyable :)"
Cons: "Seems like a simple thing but they should give Lao immigration paperwork out to passengers. No reason to not do this simple courtesy that all the other airlines do."
Pros: "My experience with the airlines was poor because I got downgraded without any explanation. Upon arriving at the airport, I kept hearing, 'just wait a second,' then, they would say, 'Im sorry.' In the end they issued a voucher to be used during a future flight, which will never be used."
Cons: "I did not take the flight since it was booked with wrong date and u refused to let me changed in24 hours although u did stated before booking that it can be changed without penalty"
Pros: "Thank you to a lady crew who acceded to our request for change of seats"
Pros: "There should have been some information upfront that such (cheap) flight (compared to the norm of Thai Airways) is a low-cost one! Otherwise I'd have been more okayed with this. I was surprised a lot of corners were obviously cur (that's why it was rather cheap) like meal for example!"
Cons: "Just be upfront and tell people this is a low cost flight so expectations wouldn't then be that high!"
Pros: "I didn’t like the seat belt it looks like a car seat belt not comfortable. The food and the service was excellent"
Cons: "The WiFi"
Pros: "I liked that they enforced the rule on boarding by rows as many airlines have given up trying to do that and its a free for all especially with certain groups of people."
Cons: "Entertainment system and seats are old."
Pros: "Just like on previous domestic flight experience, I love how Thai Airways is able to promote and provide for customer comfort and service on such short flights - something that US airlines are so incapable of providing. Not only was the plane comfortable and spacious, the fact that they also served a meal on such a short flight is so much appreciated."

They cancelled my flight and never notified me. I needed to pay another airline for a ticket so I could catch my next flight. Which was 3x the price!!!!

If you need to check luggage, make sure you buy the allowance upfront via their official website. Otherwise a bag will cost you more than the airfare.

Middle seat after specifically asked for isle many times. There was a lot of room left. Passenger next to me complaining that she couldn’t sleep because I bumped into her. I’m a 6.5 guy what the hell am I going to do there?

The flight boarding was very early and the flight arrived ahead of schedule.

No food or entertainment on this one hour flight. Crew were very nice as always!

Service before boarding, boarding staff made me buy another return ticket as my Evisa was processing, when I landed my visa was already delivered as I new it would be, wasted money because this arrogant self important b wanted to show her authority

Cons: "Least leg room of any flight I've ever taken."
Cons: "Not much leg room. Make sure they seat your party members together at check-in."
Pros: "Great service, on schedule. The only flight to CNX. I am so happy they got me to CNX."
Pros: "Had trouble with Vietjet charging me additional money for a flight change that didn’t go through on their website. Tried to explain it to them at the airport and they didn’t understand. Tried contacting them on their website and still didn’t understand how to fix it."
Cons: "Better policies and a website that works when changing/booking flights"
