Nok Air: Domestic Flight with TWO checked bags – possible?

[Henrik2000]

Hi, I might want to fly domestically with Nok Air in Thailand. I would have TWO checked bags, in total:

• Checked bag 1, 20 kg
• Checked bag 2, 20 or 15 kg
• Hand-held bag

Now I wonder: Does Nok Air allow 2 checked bags at check-in? Online they let me buy oodles of kilograms – also beyond the allowance of 30 kg per bag.

(Nok Baggage Rules in English.)

But Nok doesn't seem to say explicitly that you can check in 2 bags. According to the RULES, I may bring 40 kgs, but only 30 kg per bag, but they never mention more than 1 checked bag.

What are your experiences with TWO bags with Nok? (Nok, the airline)

While at it: Did you book Nok from abroad and did it work? Long time ago there were problems with international credit cards. I'd even prefer to not use a credit card. I guess in Thailand I could book and immediately pay at 7/11 or so – but I want to book from abroad.

Thanks!

 

 

PS. Of course it's debatable if one should

• carry 2x20 kg of luggage
• fly to Nok domestic destinations

but that'd be another topic.

You would have to use 2 bags to carry the maximum 40kg checked in luggage allowed, as a bag cannot be over 30kg

How else would it be possible  ?

As I read the baggage RULES total weight of checked baggage , depending on tickets booking class,  is 30 kg. If you are member of NOK FF program with  status  Nok Smile Plus or higher additional 10 kg can can be checked in regardless booking class

It would be better to send 1 bag via Kerry (cheap courier)

Cheaper than paying the XS.

Nok Air is friendly about bags. If your kg are over, the cost is nothing like as expensive as international excess baggage. They won't fuss over two checked bags.

Having the same issue, need to fly with 2 checked bags each roundabout 25kg. How did you pay for it and how much?

Hi all, this is OP again. Thanks again for all advice.

Finally I used only one checked bag on NOK air, because another box of things I had delivered on the road to my upcountry destination. It was around 570 baht for around 15 kilograms and took about four days. It was fully reliable and in my case a better solution than dragging two heavy bags to the airport.

On a side note, Nok Air had one hour delays on two flights, while parallel flights by Air Asia left on time. I was informed about the delays one or two days in advance by message.
