Chiang Mai to Mandalay - Air Mandalay?

Planning ahead for a post-Christmas trip to Chiang Mai (for a wedding) and
Myanmar. I see that there's one weekly flight to Mandalay on Air Mandalay.
Does anybody know how reliable this flight is? That is, does it fly every
week? Or is there another way to get from Chiang Mai to Mandalay?

It's one of the worst airlines in the world, and its planes crash all
the time.

Do you have enough time to fly to Yangon on a legitimate airline and
then travel overland to Mandalay?

LOL

It's Air Myanmar that crashes. The private lines, Air Mandalay and Yangon
Air are fine!!!

Anybody have experience with Air Mandalay, on the Chiang Mai to Mandalay
route or any other?

I've flown Air Mandalay three times and have a friend in Yangon whose
flow Air Mandalay many times, and our flights have always been
trouble-free. Air Mandalay flys the modern ATR 72-210's (as does
Yangon Airways), as opposed to the old Folker Friendships that were
involved in crashes that you've most-likely heard of.

Hi again Max. Yes I have had several uneventful flights with both Air
Mandalay and Yangon Air, they fly the same routes at different times so
just book the one going where you want when you want, the ground crew
standing at the side of the runway to wave bye bye is a nice touch! Avoid
Air Myanmar as already advised.

I agree. No problem with Air mandalay.
I used this company to travel inside the country two years ago ( the
trips by road or trains are too slow IMHO).
