SINGAPORE, 24 2023: Founder of the latest start-up airline in Thailand, Patee Sarasin, confirms ‘Really Cool Airlines will commence flights in Q1 2024 starting with services to Asian destinations such as Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Patee told a press conference Tuesday the airline would start flights to European destinations in 2025. It has still to decide on aircraft to serve regional and intercontinental routes.
Aviation experts in Thailand said flights to Japan made sense during the start-up phase as Japan represents a significant tourism source market for Thailand and is also probably the most popular destination for Thais booking Asian holidays.
Patee Sarasin is a popular figure in tourism circles in Thailand, having founded Nok Air and later an innovative travel company Reallycoolgo Travel promoting outbound travel to Thailand’s social media generation.
This week, Really Cool Airlines introduces the airline’s ReallyCool US Digital Membership based on an interactive app-based programme that allows members to tailor their travel experiences at an unbeatable value.
Patee told the press conference that early adoptees of the ReallyCool US Digital Membership programme will enjoy an exclusive array of once-in-a-lifetime benefits from the airline tagged “Legendary Series.”
The Legendary Series is available only to 999 members worldwide, offering money-saving features.
“By showing support for Really Cool Airlines at this early stage, members are rewarded with tangible benefits as the airline expands its network in coming years, the airline statement reads.
The estimated value of the benefits in The Legendary Series is USD15,000, but early supporters (the first 999 worldwide) – will pay only USD6,000 for a block of benefits.
