Flight Search
I'm searching for flights from the UK to Bangkok in August and the prices seem really high.
Has anybody got any 'flight search' suggestions?
Many thanks

Re: Flight Search
I booked directly, on-line with Ethiad over Christmas & New Year. Their on-line prices were much lower than any of the flight search companies.

Re: Flight Search
try holiday genie web site i put july until august dates in and there where flights there from £500 the flights will be more expensive if you travel while the school holidays are on
Re: Flight Search
What drives me nuts with all these online flight sites is that the same plane going the other way (BKK-LHR) is over double the cost

Re: Flight Search
I usually fly from Manchester to Bangkok using one of the "Gulf" airlines, but not Gulf air, terrible airline. For flights in April were coming out about £750/800. Decided to wait a bit then found Etihad for £470, and that was on Netflights. Since found out that if you book direct with airline you can reserve your seat when you book.

Re: Flight Search
Skyscanner has Swiss at 645 for 01AUG-02SEP out of LCY or Norwegian from LGW for 602.
I don't think you'll get much cheaper than 600 for a round trip these days unless you go ex-Soviet or Indian sub-continent. The tax (and airlines 'fuel surcharge') on these flights is now so high, getting a price lower than 500 means you probably aren't paying for the flight at all.

Re: Flight Search
I would leave it a bit if I were you as many airlines don't discount anything more than two or three months in advance.

I've found most airlines are quoting 75% of the price of a return ticket for just a one way trip at the momentbuksida wrote:What drives me nuts with all these online flight sites is that the same plane going the other way (BKK-LHR) is over double the cost
Complexity is so simply overrated
JET AIR v INDIA AIR
BKK TO LONDON HEATHROW
I have been checking flights and theres nearly 100 pounds differance between these to flights on a one way flight and they are almost the same flight times,is air india really that bad ????
I used Jet before a couple of years ago but never flown with air india,i have looked at reviews on the net and getting very mixed opinions.
Who do you recommend ?????????

My experiences with Jet have been very good and their early evening departure from Bangkok and early morning arrival in London are what I want

Re: Flight Search
I've used Jet both from London and Brussels and I thought the actual airline was really quite good. My only complaint was that the transit in Mumbai was a bit chaotic but I would use them again if the price was right.
Re: Flight Search
Try www.westeasttravel.com they often have some very good offers. It would seem the taxes are what put the price up these day; they are usually more than the flight itself!
Re: Flight Search
Jet Air is good. Stay away from Air India. Poor safety record and heavily in debt. Union strikes disrupt service at your peril. Also service is terrible. I will pay hundreds more not to fly this airline (Air India.)
I wouldn't have to manage my anger if people could learn to mange their stupidity!
