netflights.com have flights with Thai airways in February & March 2009 for a little over £500 & they are from London Heathrow & direct.

We are all in melt down and times are shit for us in general but these prices are very good & are as good as nearly a decade back.

This year I am sure there will be some good prices most months just not Xmas & new year period.

Prices are back inline with a few years ago before oil/fuel prices skyrocketed. For those that can afford it, prices are pretty good right now.

No changes for me, flying out of San Francisco or Los Angeles. China Airlines was already doing huge 50th Anniversary sales that I took advantage of. Saved nearly $260 compared to my trip last August.
