Because this trip was a "last minute" decision , I checked out most of the "consolidators" , Opodo , Expedia etc and the prices they were quoting were ridiculous. As I was looking to fly out in 6 days, I played around a bit with the Emirates website , looking at different times/days/connections. The flights I usually use were going to cost £760 , but by taking later flights on mid-week days I finally got the price down to just over £450 (London-Bangkok). Only had a 2 hour stop in Dubai on the way out , and have a 3 hour break on the way back.

So , if your holiday plans aren't "cast iron" , it is worth checking out different days/times and you'll notice a big difference in price. A lot of the "consolidators" will only pull up the "main" fares which usually have the best connecting times , and won't show prices if you choose a slightly longer connection.
