I had intended to go Vietnam when my 90 days were up (60+30) but bit of an issue back in the UK over tax which it needs my intervention (only said different thread about a week ago about how slow HMRC is via Government Gateway)......I'm going need to do letters and see accountant so bite the bullet

 

Anyway. Last Christmas day I flew Singapore back to London really cheap obviously because Xmas day

 

Checked out prices with my favourite agent Travel Trolley and one way back to Gatwick (normal transit) on China Southern was just on 25th December.......£182 !!

 

Eticketed with an hour as always by TT so thought lets have look at buying round ticket back out to Thailand 10th January to end of March (should give me enough time to sort HMRC)

 

Up comes China Eastern.....China Southern will be my 31st different airline too or from Thailand but China Eastern I had been with before (trip report in this sub forum from around last March)

 

£404 !!   Standard transits again yes slightly longer routing that the ME carriers but doesnt bother me

 

Several agents had it at £392 to £398 but my trust in Travel Trolley as always gets the vote

 

(I am wondering if I will need that onward ticket because the overall trip length will exceed the 60 days covered by Visa Exempt entry)

 

Edited in....seeing as onward ticket is only $7 be daft not to get it

 

Theres value out there for sure

The current IATA travel advice says;

"Visa Exemptions:

Passengers with a British passport traveling as tourists or on business for a maximum stay of 60 days.

Extension of stay possible for an additional 30 days."

 

However, it also says a visa is required for a 75 day trip which does rather conflict with their advice.
