Popular Post RichardColeman Posted May 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2021 Unless you are in a hurry to get back I'd wait three weeks for the next UK traffic light list to be announced which should hopefully add more countries to green, especially with the demand for opening up for summer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stev Lam Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Greetings. You may also try Finnair or Malaysia Airliines. As most airlines are not operating daily flight, you will have search dates to suit your schedule. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millymoopoo Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Lufthansa/Swiss showing as the cheapest options to me, depends on dates of course.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I am also researching this. Quatar and Emirates stop in red list countries, so no go. Singapore airlines is a bit expensive, works to go to UK, as entry from Thailand permitted, but I think currently you cannot fly London - Singapore on return. Lufthansa is a possibility and quite cheap (return). BUT covid test is required and only valid for 48 hours before boarding. If you are then changing at Frankfurt you may be out of time for your 2nd leg, so not sure if boarding is allowed. I think this needs to be confirmed. Finnair is quite cheap and I think you have 72 hours validity on the PCR test. Currently my first choice. I still have a few airlines to look at. Of course, rules can change at short notice, so probably best not to book more than a few weeks beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point I was responding too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapster Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) @blackcab I was looking at Thai Airways today and they have direct flights BKK to LHR for approx 17k THB one-way. That's about 385GBP which is pretty cheap oops! ... looks like someone already told you that! Edited May 15, 2021 by Tapster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
