how to buy Discovery Pass, Lao Air tickets in US

Bangkok Air%26#39;s website in the US does not show many flights that I know exist.





The website also does not sell the DISCOVERY PASS %26amp; suggests contacting a travel agent... most US travel agents don%26#39;t know what it is.





Does anyone have a PHONE number for Bangkok Air in NY or L.A.?





Or a travel agent in the US, preferably near NY or Toronto that sells the DISCOVERY PASS for Bangkok Air?





Also how does one buy domestic flights on VIETNAM AIRLINES or LAO AIRLINES on the web or via a US or Canadian travel agent?

One of the most reliable agent for Vietnam airlines and Lao airlines for domestic flight is TF travel info@tftravel.com.vn/ www.tftravel.com.vn

Oksana, check ';Contact Us'; at the bottom of the Bangkok Airways homepage. In the US or Canada phone 1-866-BANGKOK (if you reach India, ask for the number of a US or Cdn rep).




thanks James,





I was on there last night %26amp; CONTACT US, has no such info...



it%26#39;s a useless website is says contact our agents to buy DISCOVERY PASS but there%26#39;s no suggested agents or numbers



my galpal in Toronto was on the phone w/ me doing the same thing %26amp; neither one of us could find anything




The ';Contact Us'; page is:



bangkokair.com/passenger_support/index.php…





Information found there about the NYC office is:



450, 7th Ave. Suite 705,



New York, NY 10123, USA Tel : 1 866 BANGKOK



Ticket/Reservation/Reservation Center :



Fax : +1 (212) 279 6602



E-mail : nyc@bangkokairwaysna.com





Similar information is available for Toronto and other cities.




When you go to the URL above, click on the link under ';Passenger Support'; on the LH side for ';Representatives Offices.'; That will bring up a list of a dozen counties including US and Cda.





Did you try the 1-866-BANGKOK phone number I gave you in my earlier post?




The 866 BANGKOK number goes to Delhi %26amp; communication is difficult %26amp; next to impossible.





It%26#39;s virtually impossible to get the ticketing agents in India to transfer you to a local one in the states... the agent in India was so inexperienced he came up w/ a total of $471 %26amp; wanted to charge me a 5% fee to use a credit card! He also tried to put me on Vietnam Airlines, which doesn%26#39;t share flights with PG, but Lao Airlines does...





So, I googled around %26amp; found a ticketing agency in the San Fernando Valley (they answer the phone AIR ZIMBABWE) but ticket for BANGKOK AIRWAYS %26amp; sell the DISCOVER PASS)... at



818 990-9215



tall to Rashi, she%26#39;s lovely...





it%26#39;s $360 plus tax = $383.60





Here is a link to all the BANGKOK AIRWAYS offices all around the world w/ fax %26amp; email addresses, scroll down



www.travelfish.org/feature/118




all the numbers in North America go to 866 BANGKOK which is in Delhi India %26amp; I dealt w/ a very inexperienced agent, who gave me all sorts of wrong info...





but I was able to find an office in Los Angeles %26amp; got the price %26amp; the correct schedule... and a way to pay w/ a CC... the guy in Delhi was strong arming me to use PAYPAL... and then a 5% fee for a cc...





THANKS, you guys rock!
