crudy21 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I thought these days had gone but no, the below £400 fare to Bangkok is still alive and well. Nice one Finnair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubby Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I had good deals with Finnair in January , I check for cheap flights regulalry and Finnair are usually very expensive. must have a half full plane on your travel dates or something. Its a long flight though, BKK to Helsinki I imagine and then its longer than you expect from Helsinki to UK. Planes were old but I think they have new planes this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Unfortunately they tend to be more expensive when booking the other way i.e. BKK-UK-BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crudy21 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Are the flights indirect? is so what is the total travel time...? 3 hours MAN- HEL, 10 hours HEL-BKK, 5 Hourss in Helsinki. I can suffer that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2Quad Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've just been on their website www.finnair.com and the cheapest flight is £652 .... they advertise from £399 return, but I couldn't find one at that price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 There are loads at that price, in fact it's £397, just depends the date you want. I checked for dates in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetravellingcat Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 anything less than £400 direct is a good price if you are booking last minute or within a month of departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Bloody expensive during the European summer time ... best deal is on Jet Air via Bombay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 finair is not the best deal. I just flew them Bangkok to Pairs via Helsinki, Small plane, bad service, lousy food. NEVER again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamer Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 You get what you pay for and Finnair regularly come up here as one of the least desirable airlines to fly on. Old planes, ancient cabin crew that seem to feel the most important part of the flight is the amount of shuteye they get. I flew with them from Helsinki to Bangkok and they couldn't even manage a hot meal. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flew with them once about 10 years ago same route, didn't think it was too bad, certainly been with worse (CI for instance). 8 hour layover in Helsinki that time, spent a small fortune on beer and something to eat. 5 hours will be a breeze, i am prepared!

Arandora Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Are we talking RETURN flights here INCLUDING all taxes etc.? Just looking at departures from 8th Augustn to 14th August for 14 days, tax inclusive Return prices range from £762pp to £1229pp from Manchester to Bangkok. Good old Finnair? Don't think so!

Governor Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I paid £390, why would i say any different? I didn't doubt it for one moment, I was just making the point that there was plently of availability for the bargain fares you helpfully gave the heads up on, after someone said they couldn't find any. You are probably aware that fares change marginally by the day, even by the hour, due to currency fluctuations. I certainy wasn't doubting your word.

Governor Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Whoops, looks like they have all gone, well at least few and far between now. Fares like this sell out pretty quickly, I missed out on a Qatar offer a couple of months ago. Well done to anyone who got one of the cheap flights.
