INFO FOR PROSPECTIVE TRAVLLERFS  FROM MY MYANMAR TRAVEL AGENT
MARKETING PRACTICE IN MYANMAR AIRLINES AS AT FEB 2014



There are 5 domestic airlines in Myanmar and they operate the main sectors and small sectors.
YGN - BGN - YGN
YGN - MDY - YGN
YGN - HEH - YGN are main sectors and
BGN - MDY - BGN
BGN - HEH - BGN
MDY - HEH - MDY are small sectors.
They don't sell the tickets for the small sectors only and at least we have to buy one main sector and small sector also for the same airline, unlike the practice in other countries like Singapore or the UK.
Your clients want earliest flight from MDY - HEH and latest flight from HEH - YGN.
Air Mandalay and Yangon airways have the earliest flight from MDY - HEH but they only have the latest flight from HEH - YGN is 16:25 - 17:35. If they accept like this, I can arrange these two sectors by Air Mandalay or Yangon Airways.

But they want latest flight from HEH - YGN, I can arrange only Air KBZ (17:00 - 19:15) and they need to accept MDY - HEH sector by Air KBZ (10:20 - 10:55).

Pl confirm the above-mentioned itinerary by sms to +65 9668 6468. Payment needs to be made in US$ within 3 days as rates and airport taxes vary with time. Best wishes.
