Great opportunity for a visit back home, but, anybody have any cost effective idea's about the return leg? It would be a shame to get away with a £194 outbound ticket only to find out that the return leg costs three times that amount!

Outbound? The deal is from London. Other way is £250 inclusive.

I've just booked BKK to London for 7/7. Cheapest I could get was Oman Air at 34000 rtn, but I am not using them. Next cheapest was Qatar Air at 39,000 Baht thats 630 GBP's bloody expensive and with a stopover!!! Direct on Eva was 43,500 over 700 quid! This is for a 6 month ticket. Cheap flights are gone I think.

Right. Qatar Airways had a 3 day ticket sale. BKK-London-BKK for just 25,000 Baht something including all taxes. I had to buy there and then, which I did. Check out LTU's website (not sure if they fly to London) and may be Etihad Airlines? but normally high season mid June to mid September it is a bit difficult to find cheap a cheap ticket. 34,000 is not too bad I suppose is you're flying during high season....

Try Mahan Air
