The general feeling is 2023 will be a tough year as far as extra airline seats and schedules go. Maybe in the second half we’ll see some respite but the first half of 2023 suggests continuing high airfares due to low volumes of airline seats on offer.

• Benefits of Booking Early:
  Lower airfares, but a higher risk of airline schedule changes disrupting your plans.

  Solution: Ensure you maximise time between connecting flights and add in overnight stops where recommended. It will save you so much mental anguish & potential financial loss!

• Benefits of Booking Late:
  A probablility airline schedules will be less likely to be disrupted by schedule changes. However, you will pay a much higher airfare, and risk some hotels becoming fully booked, especially over festival seasons.
  
  
• Drukair-Royal Bhutan Airlines:
  Drukair has ambitiously released its schedule of flights through to 31DEC23. Only a healthy flow of inbound tourist visitors will sustain this schedule and that, as yet, is unknown, so schedule changes for flights to/from Paro (western Bhutan) are anticipated and that means stopovers in hub cities like Bangkok & Delhi are a ‘must’ in both directions for a Bhutan journey to proceed without stress!
  
  
• Bhutan Special Offers for 2023:
