george Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thaivisa.com is looking for an online provider of low price flight etickets *TO* Thailand. Can you guys recommend a good and reliable (affiliate) website for Air travel *from* your home destination, Europe, US, UK, Australia etc. Where do you guys get the best prices on the 'net when you are traveling *to* Thailand? Which Air booking website do you use? URL? Thanks in advance. /George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Bestflights Usually the cheapest. Allows world wide departure bookings. Bestflights special deals for ECONOMY and BUSINESS CLASS are always worth a look. Travel.com Can sometimes be cheaper for the same flights offered by bestflights, the disadvantage is that you can only book flights FROM Australia.

tolsti Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I used ebooker.co.uk this time to get my Etihad flight for this October. Easy to use and decent price. No hidden extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahil Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 the last six months, I booked always Swiss to come to Asia - they look to be the cheapest (for the moment) within standard airlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 For my most recent flight (yesterday), I booked through one of TV's sponsors, saveflights.com. I think the tickets I bought through that site were about $30 (US) more than I could have gotten through a different site, but I didn't feel like quibbling over $30, and I was getting good (and fast) responses from them. I usually shop a bunch of different sites, including kayak.com, expedia.ca, cheaptickets.com and the individual airlines themselves. By the time I'm ready to purchase a ticket, I'll have half a dozen note pad pages full of quotes/times and dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt60 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Many times what looks like a good deal on the front page gets dearer and dearer as you go through the process, adding bits on for credit cards etc, devious swines. I found Opodo beat them all for this Septembers excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Mouse Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 In Australia Zuji is almost impossible to beat for on-line prices. True, as long as you never compare them with Bestflights.com. OK. I took your challenge and did compare the prices. I want to fly from Sydney to Bangkok, by British Airways, departing Sydney on 11 Sept. This date is low season for British Airways. Zuji quoted AUD $790 and Best Flights quoted AUD $2,353. plus taxes. Now, which quote should I accept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuji quoted AUD $790 and Best Flights quoted AUD $2,353. plus taxes. Now, which quote should I accept? You're talking about a return flight, but you don't mention the return date So, I'll pick one at random... Dep: 11 Sep, ret: 27 Sep, BA ONLY. (not Qantas & BA right?) ZUJI: 1 adult = AUD 829.00 Taxes and Surcharges = AUD 325.50 Service Fees = AUD 12.00 Total Price = AUD 1166.50 Bestflights: Adult Fare 1 $829.00 $829.00 Adult Tax 1 $325.50 $325.50 Best Flights Service Fee $14.95 Total Price (Australian Dollars): $1,169.45 So the difference on this choice is $2.95 and a win to Zuji. Now I'm flying BNE to BKK on December 26, Returning January 23 in Biz class Travel.com.au: AUD $3233.34 (total) My ticket provider ZUJI: AUD $3292.04 (total) Bestflights: AUD $3,337.79 (total) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Again, just for comparison, I will fly CNS - BKK on Sept 28, RET: Oct 13 on Cathay Pacific, in Economy. Bestflights: $1580.39 (total) Travel.com.au: $1601.90 (total) Zuji: $ 2726.44 (total) Same flights, same connections... Wanna guess who I booked with??

Mighty Mouse Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Wanna guess who I booked with?? OK, point taken. It just goes to prove that shopping around is always advisable. By the way, once you find the cheapest airfare price on-line, take it to Flight Centre where they guarantee to beat it by AUD $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Fair call MM, The online mobs give a good indication of who is flying the route on the days I want, I then go back to the airlines website and double check what price they're offering... e.g. I'm flying from BKK to AMS in October, Our prefered websites offered EVA economy tickets at over $4k, but on the EVA website I got Eco-Deluxe tickets for a tick over $1400... (which was cheaper than ANY other offer available in plain ol' economy, and a direct flight to boot). So as you say, it really pays to shop around.

BKKdreaming Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 any websites with fare discounts / last minute prices from the West Coast USA to BKK ? thanks BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 From Korea, Topas gives 3% off standard airline fares. I can get 7% off the fares through my travel agent who books via the Topas system, but those prices are not available online, only when going direct through the travel agent. Tourcabin is great in that it pulls up the best prices from all sorts of travel agents, but unfortunately lots of the deals it shows are unavailable once you click on the links. They have a much broader selection, especially on heavily discounted fares, than Topas does. Both sites are only in Korean (Hangul), so if you can't read Korean you're out of luck. I haven't found any English based travel sites for travel from Korea to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Out of interest, I checked a bestflights offering for ICN - BKK vs. THAI Air web site for an economy return on Thai Air (01 Oct - 10 Oct) and got these. Bestflights: (KRW) 973800 (total inc. all taxes) Thai Air: (KRW) 544600 (total inc. all taxes) And then a flight from LAX-BKK vs. EVA Air website for an economy return on EVA Air, same dates... Bestflights: US$980 (total inc. all taxes) EVA Air: US$828 (total inc. all taxes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 When I am being a cheap charlie, I check Zuji then check out the discount airlines that don't list on Zuji. I have ended up flying Tiger Air from Perth. If the saving was less than $75Au I would not have gone with these folk for the hassels of flyingin and out of the "new" low cost terminals, but as I said I am a cheap charlie.
