RoastLamb Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've used orbitz and the cheapest flight from Bangkok to London they are coming up with is with Gulf Air at around 320GBP. And Etihad are offering it for 21000baht. Anybody have any experience with these airlines? Or any current recommendations for other websites or travel agents? I'm flexible with dates and can fly into anywhere in the UK, but i am assuming it's cheaper to fly to London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icequeen Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Ethihad are absolutely fine to fly with but I always do it in two hops, Bangkok to Abu Dhabi and then onto Manchester If you did choose this route Abu Dhabi airport is possibly the most unorganised ever, you need to be on the ball because the staff aren't, don't rely on them to call you for your flight in plenty of time. The prices you have been quoted are probably the best you will get I paid £310 one way from UK in Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sri Lanka are the current cheapest, I think. I paid 245 for a one wayer, although you overnight in Colombo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoastLamb Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I just booked one way from BKK to London, with Sri Lankan, for 15600baht, including all taxes. Includes a 4 hour stopover in Colombo. This is for a Friday, on other days there is a whole night stopover, with hotel accom included. If anyone can beat that I'll give you a packet of rocklets.

Super Hans Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I got the same price and went for the overnight option. Does anyone know if it's dodgy to take xanax into SR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Probably too late but Gulf Air are rubbish, terrible level of service, planes are rubbish (no entertainment), expect plenty of delays too, they dont seem bothered by this either. Eitihad blows them away tbh or even the likes of Qatar Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eitihad blows them away tbh or even the likes of Qatar Air Just flew back with Gulf (BKK to LHR) two days ago. I had read the bad reviews but actually had no problems. The connection both ways was less than 2 hours and all flights left on time. The A340s from Bahrain to BKK are a little tatty but not as bad as some accounts say - I have seen worse on KLM. All the flights have entertainment, but while the A330s have individual monitors, the A340s only have the old-style shared TVs.

Sunderland Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Abu Dhabi Airport won an award in April 2008 from Odeon Cinemas for the airport that looks more like a 1980s UK 'picture house' (cinema multiplex). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
