Probably been covered no doubt,

However need / want to book a flight for family member 18thdec to 5th jan. Departing any uk airport to bkk return.

Can it booked this end ? Any advantage on cost ?

They have treid in the uk and are being told fully booked or having prices 1000GBP plus !!!!!

Granted been 3/4 years but the last time i flew was 450/500 quid return! ( coincidently same travel dates ) surely its not doubled !

No, not all planes full (as otherwise you would not even get price-quotes) but all CHEAP seats have been sold. demand for airtravel to BKK around that time is astonishing high since the last 2 yrs and its super-high-peak season.

Only alternative I know of that DOES have seats is ltu.de (now taken over by airberlin): from Dusseldorf in Germany, daily, with connections on AirBerlin from at least LSN and possible some others in UK. RTN ex DUS can be done from around 750 eur, add 2x39/49 eur for the flites to UK. A a basic, german, holidayairline, basic service (pay for alco and headset, food/drink free). excellent safety and good ontime reports. since the last 2 yrs the fuel surcharge of around 150/200 eur has been added to any return,=about 100/130 GBP. the 400/450 cheap returns you only find in the very low season april/ay and september

Try Etihad.

Phone BKK +6622530088

Many time the web sites say they are full and they have seats. Done it a few time myself with Etihad.

You are flying at an awkward time.

H_ll, I was quoted £700 plus for my return flight BKK - MAN on line for end October. Etihad did it for £498 inc taxes.

Think you have left it rather late to hope to get a cheap flight out of UK….

Before retiring here used to come for 6 weeks over Christmas + January, found that I had to book by March !! One year did not book until August and had to fly on Christmas day + from Gatwick………… this may sound OK but to pay for parking for 6 weeks would be out of the question + NO public service on Christmas day + last public service ends early on Christmas eve in the UK…. Tried ALL Airports out of UK

If you can wait - wait I did this a few years ago - there is always cancellations - put yourself on the list especially if you have a frequent flyers cards. You will be able buy full price Economy tickets (normally a fully flexible and upto 1 year return) regardless - hence the 1000+ tickets.

Look on:

Flights4less

Also probably the best via the phone (there site ain't the best!) - call West East Travel

Also if they can be flexible on the return date - book the ticket for returning on a later date than when in town change it . . . can save a few hundred £!

I just had a quick look on flights4less and they are offering a return for £915 on those dates.

Just a word of warning as I had some problems yesterday.

travel agents here cannot book London to Bangkok, they can only book bangkok to London

Watch out if you are booking internet / etickets as the person holding th ecredit card MUST be present at check in
