Thai Lion Air is back to four flights a week between Udon Thani and U-Tapao, the airport for Pattaya and Rayong, after flight trackers showed the route at two a week through mid-2026. Flights run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays: Udon Thani 11:00 to U-Tapao 12:20, and U-Tapao 13:15 to Udon Thani 14:35.

The airline has not published fares and says the schedule may change, so check with Thai Lion Air before booking. The restored service starts nine days before the Udon Thani International Horticultural Expo, which runs from 1 November 2026 to 14 March 2027; Thai AirAsia has also added Udon Thani flights from Don Mueang, Chiang Mai and Phuket for the season.
