I know its a bit early but I have been tracking flights now for the last month.

The same flight I booked with KLM last July for £725 is now costing just over £1,000. There are flights at different times on the same day available for just over £900.

Look like these flights are filling up too as there seems to be less choice for each day each time I look.

So tonight I went and did it but at the thought of paying over £1000 for economy Ive gone and booked Buisness class for £1425.

Looks like LOS for Xmas

If you want cheap(ish) flights for xmas make sure your departure date is no later than 8th December as after that date they shoot up because it is then "Peak Season".

I always make sure to fly out on the 8th and always manage to get flights at just over £500 (economy) Return flights may be a bit more of a problem if you leave it too late before booking as most people fly home around the 5th or 6th. Last time I couldn't get a return flight before the 16th January, so had to stay in LOS longer. Bugger !!

Rip off prices for economy .But if they can sell the seats at those prices, then they are not going to be reduced.

Don't think my annual leave would stretch to flying out before Dec 8th

I've been checking prices for 27 - 29th December with a return date about 6 weeks later, and they are costing around £420. This is for non-direct flights that stop in the Middle East. After my last epic journey

I vowed to pay the extra for a direct flight to BKK in future, but the price difference is a bit hefty for a man as tight as I am
