*direct* flights to Bangkok at £374 return in Sept - May from London (British Airways)

[dingbat22]

Direct British Airways route to Bangkok looking as good as ever right now with low fares and winter high-season availability. This direct route is always popular, so we seldom see fares drop this low :-) Note: Getting to Thai destinations like Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samui can be quite pricey from the UK, but if you combine this non-stop route with cheap regional flights from Bangkok, you can save quite a bit on airfare and flight time. Example here to Chiang Mai a £25 return.

To: Bangkok (BKK) - £374 direct From: London (LHR) Travel Dates: September - May (excluding December/Easter holidays)   Airline: British Airways   Standard Fare: £650 Bags: Checked bag is extra (£60 rtn)   Book by: These fares will last 2-3 days

Yep - I bought one of the BA flights from LHR to BKK for £390 return last week. I'm travelling next May for a short trip. Just be aware the prices don't include suitcases in the hold but does include cabin hand luggage but I'm only taking hand luggage. The extra baggage costs will put another £100 on the fare for return flight. I usually book Eva, Finnair or Oman Air but willing to give BA a go especially since they are cheap for direct flight compared to Thai or Eva. The Eva and Thai flights do include suitcases in the hold and prices were around £480.

Hand luggage allowance is governed by size and only arbitrarily by weight. 23 kg but as long as you can lift it into the overhead bins yourself it's OK. Trying to get a carry on to weigh 23kg would take some effort.

I hardly take anything for my trips to LoS. However, I always tend to always bring back tons more than I went with.

Think I will hold out for an Eva air sale, BA is always shocking in terms of service.
