Davidcharles Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I would be very grateful if someone could tell me the cheapest direct flights available to Heathrow one way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john b good Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The only comment I have is that one way fares are often more more expensive than a return ticket. You could try Chawla Travel agent in Patpong. I think it is run by a bunch of Indians and I see in the Bangkok Post that from time to time they have some pretty good deals.

eric1000 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I would be very grateful if someone could tell me the cheapest direct flightsavailable to Heathrow one way? maybe the thing to do is to buy online from london and have the ticket sent out or issued in LOS, bypass the thai agencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishoak Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm looking ATM for the same david. Checked out the online sites in the UK for tickets to be issued here. Forget it, the prices I found were frightening. More than twice the price than from the uk to here I'll be going to Khaosan Road tomorrow as thats the place I always find to be the best. Backpackers like cheap deals I was quoted 22-25k bht about 2 months ago but expect it to be higher since oil prices have risen. I'll let you know how I get on. please do likewise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordWill Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If you fly with Royal Jordanian airways, you will go via Amman in Jordan and they will (usually) have the cheapest ticket by about £100. That's my experience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of factors. One is that of season (high, shoulder and low) When you are travelling "into" a high season destination the fare will be more expensive than say travelling into a low season destination. (does the UK have a high season given the fact that the weather is <deleted> all year round) I would also be interested if you can get a "one way" ticket cheaper than a return. It would be nice if you can but I have not found it to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsie Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 You can try Phuket Air. I've heard they have new promotion fares for London (19,900 THB or something). There is nothing much stated on their website though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I called Phuket Air and the deal's a 30 day return (+2350B tax) I want to go for two months and that's 28grand. It flies to Gatwick and there appears to be a stop over in Arabland. They don't have wee tvs in the seat backs but it's a decent price if your stay's less than 30 days. Oh, and you have to be back by Sept. 30th. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidcharles Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Actually JB et al. I fully intend to stay in LOS. But didn't know what to do about getting back to UK if necessary at any time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'm disappointed. Looked at the title of the thread and hoped to find a football-supporters special going to Blighty, with all the booze and punch-ups one could wish for. Then find yet another discussion about cheap fares. One-way tickets ain't cheap (except the final one to the bone farm). Get aa one-year open return for about 1 1/3rd times the price of a single and you can come back when you want. If you are looking for a quick 'escape' ticket to be bought overnight while the boys in brown or an irate ex-g/f are chasing you, that will not be cheap either. The low-cost tickets are those you book well in advance, with no transfer, no encashment, no this/that and the other. Or sometimes, if you're lucky, a ticket for the next flight out, 'cos they have empty seats and a quota to fill. For the last - Khao San Road.

englishoak Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Just booked a ticket back to the UK one way. Singapore Air 17500bht = 235 quid pretty cheap i'd say. Stop 1 1/2 in Singapore, just enough time to pick up a new camera Oh, booked in Khaosan Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutethaigirl Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I fully intend to stay in LOS. But didn't know what to do about getting back to UKif necessary at any time..... With respect then why ask a time based question now if you do not need to go?? Any answer now will not be relevant in six months. Generally speaking the Mid Eastern Airlines with a stop in some place there will be the cheapest. If you travel from A - B You CAN NOT issue the ticket at B . Tyhere are loads of ads in the Bangkok Post advertising OW to Europe. Call afew CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop 1 1/2 in Singapore, just enough time to pick up a new camera Oh, booked in Khaosan Road. But return tickets are from about 22,000 (plus fuel surcharges). That's why I say 'not cheap'. And from UK to BKK return, many of my friends travel for between £ 375 and £ 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishoak Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 The fact that I'm going back to the uk and not returning for an unforseen period makes a one way ticket the only option. I have no wish to slum it and waiting in a middle east airport for upto 7 hours for a transit. Or sitting on an old cramped aircraft with lousy cabin staff service. Singapore airlines are one of the best I have travelled with. All mod cons. Excellent service. I have found availability and price to be a compleatly different thing At an exchange = 235 quid its ideal for me. Arrival time is also a factor in heathrow. an evening arrival is perfect to avoid traffic and crowds. Each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
