Bkk To Manilla Prices

[JimmyGreaves]

Can anybody help me with this one:

I want to fly Bkk-Manilla return in December 2004. (14/12/2004 out - 21/12/2004 back)

I live in the UK for most of the year, 2 months in Thailand at the moment.

If I book through the lufthansa online booking form and i select I live (domicile) in Thailand then the fare comes back at about 8000 baht return, nice fare. However if I say I live UK then the fare jumps to about 24000 baht (£333.00) massive amount. The link I am using is here:

Question:

I got an address in BKK if need be with my g/f.

What to do?

Go through with the booking as Thailand domicile or can I book in BKK and get a fare around 8000baht?

Regards

John

Book as domicile Bangkok, I did not follow the whole link, but the ticket

will be e-ticket. So they might want a fax or e-mail address (use hotmail or whatever you have) and a credit card.

Check the restriction tab: One of the conditions, you must be miles & more-member. This can be done easily, apply online and you get your membership number.

Btw, these fares are for introduction of LH - extension Manila, Saigon, Kuala Lumpur, valid til end of this year. I don't think you will have any problems, I do the same when in Europe and state my domicile Germany,

They actually did not send me an e-ticket, just confirmed by e-mail and asked me to show my (same) credit card for check - in.

Good luck

This just shows how important it is to do your homework when booking

flights.

get your ticket booked and confirmed at Bkk airport with philli air. you can book on the phone, you get a reference number and then pay and collect you ticket from their desk at the airport.

price around baht 7,600.

philli air flight is basic but i found this to be the best and cheapest option.

they did not ask me if i was phoning from thailand or overseas, however it is a good idea to give them a local [thai] tel contact number if they should require to make contact with you.

please note: that this price is for a ticket booked sept -2004 , i am not sure if this price still applies.

good luck.
