Best Value Airline to Bangkok from UK?

Me & the wife are coming to LOS again in June fo 3 weeks, we normally use Thai Air but they can be a bit pricey.

Has anyone used Eva Air as they seem to offer good value direct flights, how do they compare to Thai Air?

Any suggestions on sites for good deals would be welcome.



Rgds, Dave

Hi Dave.

I flew Eva air 2 weeks ago and they were ok. They aren't anything special, but they are comfortable and the food is ok.

For the price, they really can't be beaten. I think you've made a good choice my friend.

Have a great time.

The only reason why I wont be using them is because I heard they can be very unreliable so I decided to go for bangkok air instead, Got them for 3500bt return which was a lot better than thai air offer at 5200bt return

Try using www.traveljungle.co.uk or a similar site.
Of the cheapest coming up , etihad & qatar airways are pretty good for indirect flights.
Otherwise try expedia & booking hotel for first night only to get into BA/QF lowest booking classes - around £420/each
