Travel blogger Matthew recently took a short flight from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Bangkok, Thailand on Bangkok Airways, a regional carrier often lauded as one of the best in the world. Despite the short distance and the use of a small propeller plane, Matthew was highly impressed with the service and amenities provided.

The flight, operated by an ATR 72-600, offered comfortable seating with decent legroom for the 55-minute journey. But what truly surprised Matthew was the full hot meal served to every passenger. This gesture, uncommon even on longer flights with mainline airlines, exemplified Bangkok Airways’ commitment to passenger comfort and satisfaction.

Matthew was particularly impressed with the friendly and attentive flight attendants who managed to efficiently serve a full meal to all 70 passengers in such a short time. The overall experience, including the comfortable seating, impressive service, and the unexpected hot meal, solidified Matthew’s opinion that Bangkok Airways deserves its reputation as a top regional airline.

He further highlighted the airline’s competitive pricing, included baggage allowance, and generally punctual flights. Though lacking Wi-Fi or individual entertainment screens, Matthew found the short flight enjoyable thanks to the stunning views from the window.

The article concludes with Matthew expressing his anticipation for a future longer flight on a mainline Bangkok Airways jet.
