Thread: Laos to Australia quickly

Any travel experts here,
We are in Laos and a mates wife just went into labour, whats the fastest way to get him back to Brisbane.
Is there any problem flying out of Bangkok at the moment ?
Thanks

Not in that direction I shouldn,t think.

Bangkok is fine.
Why you ask?

Which airline is he flying?

If it's Qantas it's worth telling them it's an emergency.

I've always found them to react well and help a lot.

Vientianne direct to KL with Air Asia, KL then onto Sydney/Brissy.


*EDIT* Bugger - it leaves in 15 minutes so you are to late for that one.

Just asking as I need to try and get this guy home ASAP and dont hold much faith in the office girls to do it

Thanks
I will look into this

Vienitane to HCM with Laos airlines then heaps of options to the east coast of australia.

I am assuming he is in Vientianne correct Rigger?

First thing to do is get him on the 9.50pm flight tonight to Bangkok.

He was on his way from Aus to UK cos he'd been told Mum had hours left to go.

I got the call from him whilst in Changi. I called him back. He was in Changi.

We met up.

I'm booked to go through to Melbourne then Darwin.

He's on his way to LHR.

We go to the Qantas desk and explain. We and they make a few phone calls.

They change all my flights. Put me on first class back to LHR (brother pissed off cos he's business.) And, now get this, gave me flights back to Darwin 2 weeks later at economy rate upgraded to business.

Couldn't have been better. Flight crew to LHR had been infirmed and they were fantastic.

All for the sake of a phone call.

quite a story.
Very good of Quantas to help out like that.

and then Thai airways flight TG 473 will from Bangkok to Brisbane leaving at 11.59pm tonight.

You can fly savanakhet to Bangkok with Laos Alines. Next flight leaves at 10.50am tomorrow.

Where excately is he in Laos?

Another option would be Laos Air to Siam Raep/Phnom penh (Same Flight) Then a Malaysia Air Via KL to Brizzy or Singapore/Silkair via Singas to Brizzy.
