one part of this ticket is the conditions (25% miles, no change)

but it is by far the best price available at the moment

Prices for Mid - Late March departures will only rise. Its the Easter period when all flights get stupidly expensive. Seats are selling fast so I would get you ticket while you can. Also it will depend an awful lot on your exact departure date as to the price.
I found Thai Air at £610 and Eva at £619 both leaving 17th March and returning 1st Feb

Move the arrival and departure dates forward one week and Thai is no longer available. Eva still £619.

Move the dates back a week and Eva is £602 and Thai £605.

All prices obtained from Westeast Travel.

I could have got you that flight for around the £560 mark, held the seats for nothing and ticketed it 28 days before departure, which is when you pay.

I do agree about the prices going up in July, not many kids on those flights to Bangkok are there? That said, a lot of the Bangkok flights are going somewhere else afterwards and some people can only travel in skool hols.

P.S

you have to remembr that the school holidays in scotland start 2 weeks earlier than england so the high flight prices from scotland start earlier .

Hi Steve,

Could you give me the best price and possibilities for a direct (non-stop) returnflight out of Thailand to London (Any airline). Arriving in the first week of May and go back after 6 months.

Cheers,

Raval

Just to explain this a bit better, we only get what are called IATA fares when trying to book a flight that originates in another country. I can quote and book them, but you can probably get a better price on the ground in Bangkok than I can offer.

I'm happy to look at prices and advise on availability, but the reality is that booking flights in a country other than the one where they originate will not yield bargains.

Anyone thinking of going London-Bangkok could do worse than take a look at Gulf Air. This looks like a good price to me.

It's for travel mid June, but should be available right through to November.

LHR BAH 03/06/2008 GF 2 V 1000 1845
BAH BKK 03/06/2008 GF 150 V 2020 0745
BKK BAH 17/06/2008 GF 151 V 1120 1420
BAH LHR 17/06/2008 GF 5 V 1545 2100

Estimated Total Price (inc. Taxes) 442.80GBP
