The reason is the very first flight from Samui to Bangkok is 07:00 hrs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s examine, you fly from Samui at 07:00. The flight takes 50 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You will arrive in Bangkok at 07:50 hrs. Getting off the airplane and running through the huge BKK airport into the connecting flight in 10 minutes is impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What happens then?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You will miss the connecting expensive flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What to do next if you miss the connecting flight?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Normally, the flight can be rebooked or postponed BEFORE the original flight takes off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That means impossible to change a flight after you miss that flight. So, let&#8217;s try your luck to book the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why do I say that you need luck? Normally in the high seasons, all flights will be fully booked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe you have to extend your holiday staying in Bangkok for 2 \u2013 4 days or even more if it happens in the crazy high season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Example 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you already booked both flights (Samui-Bangkok and connecting flight Bangkok to your home) and are aware later that these are not timely matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You react to it before the vacation starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The sooner you change the flight, the cheaper you will pay for flight rebooking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you make it too late like nearly the vacation starts or already started the flight rebooking fee can be so expensive that you cannot accept it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What to do if you react too late and the flight rebooking fee can be so expensive that you cannot accept it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s compare what going to be cheaper between:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Choice 1.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rebooking fee for flight: from Bangkok to your home<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Choice 2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Book a hotel for 1-night stopover in Bangkok on 27.08.2023<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Change flight: Samui \u2013 Bangkok to 27.08.2023 (from originally on 28.08.2023).Normally the flight from Samui to Bangkok is changeable if not the last-minute change. Or if it is already slightly too late, then just a very small fee.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Try to cancel the last night&#8217;s hotel in Samui on 27.08.2023. This depends on the individual hotel, some hotels are easy to deal with, and some are not. Let&#8217;s examine the unfortunate scenario, the hotel does not refund the night on 27.08.2023 to know how much you are going to pay for this choice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Let&#8217;s take an example of this<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Example 2.2 (Be careful this example indicates not the exact amount, just used according to data on what has commonly happened)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You booked the hotel in Samui for 23.08.2023 \u2013 28.08.2023 without realizing your return flight: Samui-Bangkok<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and your connecting flight (08:00 hrs.) in Bangkok did not timely match until you arrived in Samui. Then, someone in Samui like your customer service representative told you that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now you have choices 1 and 2 as mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Choice 1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The airline will charge the Rebooking of Flight: Bangkok &#8211; Home for 456 USD p.p.
