According to the site for that price on one day I looked at 3hrs 15m. Total time 19hrs 15m vs less than 15 hrs for some of the other combos.

For KLM absolutely yes, I will never fly with them again. As bad as BA when it come to customer service and their aircraft are stone age I flew many times with KLM to AMS, biz and eco. KLM great service on board. Now 2 daily flights from BKK to AMS, one 777 and one 787. Best to choose 787 Dreamliner (average 3.7 years old) over 777. From AMS many destinations with short layover to rest of Europe or other destinations. Schiphol great airport. Much better than Zurich or Vienna. I would take KLM compared to other 2 mentioned. Emirates A380 I would not mind taking, via Dubai. (however this was not mentioned in your post as an option). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A night flight from BKK to Europe is a good choice. You're tired when boarding and you wake up in Europe's morning. Pre covid I took the Thai direct flight to Munich regulary. Departing at 0:50 am and I felt less jetlag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not agree on that. Flew with Finnair many times from BKK to Europe (on business), all was ok. The A350, which they use from BKK to Helsinki is one of the best planes, very calm.

topt Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just a heads up. I had decided on Singapore but when I started on the booking process I discovered that you need a PCR test even if only transiting via Changi. As not needed for double vaxxed now for UK I decided to bin that. Ended up with Lufthansa based on timings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteBuffaloATM Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 header must include Lufhansa. best Europe- thailand service in my experience, apart from EVA (when not striking). Never fly KLM. Quite Poor Service Reputation for some time. Pedantic with Covid Docs & Visas I hear….. FinnAir perfect in my experience and never seen any complaints before….Swiss and Austrian also flawless in my pre- covid experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are showing direct flights to UK, but not sure if risky given their recent financial problems. I was looking at that....good price and direct going out. BUT....... airlines under financial pressure have a tendency to cut back on maintenance costs, which is a bit scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find the flights on the Thai web site for 2 weeks time however did not work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
