Airport at a glance

Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors at Krabi International Airport (KBV / ICAO VTSG), serving Krabi, Thailand, across 5 carriers with 3 of them based here. Time zone Asia/Bangkok. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 49 departures a week.

A base changes the outcome when things break. Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air and Thai Smile are based at KBV, meaning aircraft, crew and operations staff sit on site. When a flight is cancelled the odds of a seat on the next rotation, or of a spare airframe, are far better at a base than at an outstation the carrier touches once a day. It is why the leg departing an airline’s own base usually recovers faster than the one returning to it.

Coordinates are for checking, not decoration. KBV sits at 8.09912, 98.9862. That is genuinely useful when booking a room or a transfer, because “near the airport” is claimed to wildly different standards. In a large city, map distance and real travel time in peak hours diverge sharply — read the travel time for the hour you will actually move, not the kilometre figure.

Airlines serving KBV

5 carriers appear at KBV in our catalogue and we hold an airline row for 4 of them, with baseline baggage spanning 7 to 15 kg. None of the rows we hold sits in a major alliance. 3 of them are based here.

Carriers we hold no row for. Thai Smile appear at this airport in our catalogue but have no alliance or baggage record in our database, so we print a dash instead of guessing. Check those carriers’ own pages before buying — an empty cell is more honest than an unsourced number.

“Serves” is not “flies daily”. This list covers every carrier appearing on a corridor into or out of KBV in our catalogue. Some fly seasonally, some a few times a week, and some sell as the marketing carrier on a partner’s aircraft. The number that matters to your plan is how many actually quote your dates — usually fewer than the full list.

KBV route overview

KBV has 0 outbound corridors in our catalogue, roughly 0 departures a week All figures are estimates of the standard schedule. The field runs on Asia/Bangkok, ICAO VTSG. The corridors touching this field connect 1 country in our catalogue. Block times on those corridors run from 1.4 to 1.4 hours.

Inbound

This field sits in our catalogue as a destination. We record 1 inbound corridors into it, splitting 1 short-haul (<4h), and no outbound guides — we build route pages only for journeys starting in Thailand. Departures from here exist; they simply have no page in this set yet. Read the carrier’s own schedule for the return.

Outbound and inbound are asymmetric because this is a catalogue boundary. We record 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors for KBV. The gap reflects which route guides we chose to build — weighted to what travellers from Thailand search — not one-way service. The return flights exist whether or not we have published a page for them yet.

Corridors & fares from KBV

The 1 corridor at KBV break down as 1 short-haul (<4h), serving mainly ASEAN & regional leisure. We hold a cached fare for 1 of 1 route, the lowest ฿1,874 on BKK–KBV. Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors here.

Most KBV corridors here serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. The mix is 1 short hop (under 4 h). Fares are shown in Thai baht (THB), and each route guide below carries live cached prices.

Everything is shown in baht, and that matters more than it looks. Fares are converted to THB so they compare on one page, but the underlying prices are set in the currency of the market that issues the ticket. The same corridor can price differently issued in different countries, and the exchange rate moves between our capture passes. Read these as a ranking, not as accounting figures.

Why some rows have no price. We capture lows in passes, and not every corridor returns a value each time. Seasonal routes, thin routes and routes sold through narrow channels report irregularly. An empty cell means no capture succeeded in the latest pass — not that the route is closed or expensive. We leave it blank rather than interpolate, because plausible-looking estimates are exactly what makes a table untrustworthy.

Direct destinations are not all reachable destinations. This list is the nonstop network in our catalogue. Everything else is reachable by connecting at a hub, which widens the choice and adds a point where the plan can break. If you must connect, make a single ticket the default and only split it when the saving is large enough to be worth the risk you are taking on yourself.

The destination country sets the rules, not the departure airport. The corridors here span 1 country, each with its own aviation regulator, visa regime and transit conditions. What you are owed changes with the destination and the direction of travel, not with the airport you left from. The route guides carry the detail per corridor.

Time zone and connecting at KBV

Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors here. KBV runs on Asia/Bangkok, the same as Bangkok. The gap is constant year-round. Every time printed on a boarding pass is local to that airport rather than an elapsed duration, so subtracting one from the other gives you the wrong number.

Minimum connection time is not in our data. Every airport publishes one, and the figure differs for domestic-to-domestic, international-to-international and terminal-change connections. A booking system will not sell you less than that on a single ticket — but it will happily let you build less than that yourself across two tickets. That is where passengers most often create risk without realising it.

International-to-domestic is a full re-entry. At most airports that connection means clearing immigration, reclaiming the bag for customs, then checking in and passing security again — even on a single ticket. It takes materially longer than an international-to-international transfer. Plan around the actual steps rather than the gap printed on the itinerary.
