Great deals at Thai airways

[James Velvet]

I just booked a April 17 to May 3 flight Stockholm - BKK with Thai for 1005 USD roundtrip with Premium Economy too BKK and plain economy from BKK. That's a great price I think (the price for economy booth ways would have been 635 USD) - all prices with tax included..

You can currently get direct flights from EVA Air for £410 if you want to fly in March, April, May or June.

 

Check out www.netflights.com for details.

 

If you have the cash to do a trip it really is a great time to go right now.

cheapest EVA I can find on netflightts for depart late APril return late May is now 601 on direct, the only option.. Thai is cheaper but old tatty planes I am told..still listing the old 916 and 917 flights with the antique jumbos and no IFE. How much better is EVA?

I just booked a Thai air flight from LAX to BKK in premium economy for $1068 USD seems like a good deal too me for the only non stop from the west coast of the US. There were some fares that were a little less (200 US) but adds 5 hours to the flight time with a stop in Korea or Japan...worth the money IMHO... other best deals were with JAL out of SFO for $768 but flight time was 25 hrs vs 17 with Thai

I just looked on http://www.thaitravelmarket.com/flights/ and saw £410 direct with EVA from LHR.

Well I would think he meant its a great time to go because the flights are so cheap, there isnt a bad time to go so long as you can afford it.

How to have the best flight from UK - BKK :

 

1) Always go for the direct flight from London - get the thing over and done with. If ur not in london book a train well in advance.

Use Eva, Thai, BA - in that order of preference. Eva isnt usually that much more than other carriers (at most times during the year).

There may be another direct service.

 

2) Go to sleep (take a strong sleeping pill). So inflight perks, fancy screens, free alcohol, etc mean nothing.

 

3) In my opinion leg room is a bit overhyped. They are pretty much the same*. They are all a lot better than the budget/UK charter flights.

Really, the most important thing is to get lucky and not have a fatty next to you - ideally free seats around you - or even better a row of 4. ahhhh bliss!

There are tricks to get these seats of course.

 

*air asia X and the now defunct oasis hong kong - so called budget airlines - were just as good as etihad for seat room in my experience

before that i travelled around world on ba/qantas and i'd say the above ones were better.

 

I have not flew own thai or eva, but many people say eva is fine.

In fact, out of the 5 times ive done the trip, only once was it direct. But thats because i'm a tight bastard - usually saves me 100 quid though (when you are doing the BKK-UK return - which is not easy to find deals on).

 

Happy flight.
