Yes that is strange

Looks like it pays to book the BKK - HKT section on Thai Air own website

wylos · #4 25-05-2007, 05:30

EVA is even cheaper......... i paid £438,given that is through an agent and not direct with EVA,but TBH makes no difference.
but i suppose its personal preference.......but i cant see past EVA,the new planes are great,comfier,better entertainment system,also i found the service A1............still ,great prices for both thai and eva.
i see sri lankian are under the 400 mark to those who dont mind in direct flights,dunno about airline though,im sure someone mention the service werent bad.

By two different tickets. You will still be able to check luggage through.

Caerphilly · #6 25-05-2007, 12:09

That's a good suggestion DK apart from already having a ticket for June/July sitting in my travel docs.........looks like I lost out slightly by buying it early, 520 London to Phuket with Thai Air.

Though I don't think I would have been comfortable waiting until 10 to 15 days before departure to get my ticket......I suppose you pay for a degree of certainty

Great Prices............its A Pity The Bastards Dont Do Those Deals All Year Round !!!!!!!!!!!!!

eric-the-viking · #8 25-05-2007, 17:06

have to agree with Wylos its EVA every time for me ,great service better prices ,good food (well as good as aircraft food gets)but not as good as emerates food and normally better eye candy hostesses

Just used the search engine on airline network for Thai air heathrow to bangkok using different random dates between end of may and any time in june.

The cheapest came back as £554 and not £449

wylos · #10 25-05-2007, 18:48

hey chris......i think the price is direct with thai

.

im sure u can find around that price(£449) through an agent if not....

Cheap loans | mortgages | credit cards | home & car insurance - moneysupermarket UK .............is a good search engine includes airline network also.

If that's all-in then it's a great price.

Seem to be a lot of good deals for June - both Thai & Eva are around the £44x mark for econony and Thai even have some biz flights for £1376, which while expensive (in the normal world!) is a really good deal.

you would probably be better signing up to the BMI frequent flyer programme and adding your thai miles to that.

tas1 booked with EVA Air which unfortunately is not in the Star Alliance, but as you correctly state, Thai Airways is and I would also advise people to join the BMI's "Diamond Club" rather than Thai's "Royal Orchid Plus" programme.

ALWAYS sign up for any frequent flyer deals, for years I always said so what.

Last June I was flying with Emirates for the 1st time and my boss made me sign up. After 2 trips to LOS I got silver Skywards usual free lounge and things like that but I also had enough miles to upgrade the flight from Dubai to BKK this Saturday coming to business class FREE
