First off, CONGRATS.

If you can wait until 2nd week of Jan you can save on the ticket. $685 RT CA LAX/BKK. Imagine you can get good rates on Jet Blue to LAX depending on where you are in FL.

Anytime post Thanksgiving, not 100% certain as only a cursory search, but plan double for air.

Prices in BKK? Who cares, it's Thailand, enjoy.

Have a look at flights to KL,HK as well as Singers. If you're booking a return also make sure your wife can get a seat on that flight or that it's easy to reschedule to suit your outgoing plans. January out of Thailand can be tricky with seats as well.

It is getting into the busy season. From now until mid December it is possible but getting more difficult. From mid-december to mid-january you have to pay blood for flight tickets, hotels, girls, everything goes up.

Thailand has four seasons: Wet Season, Dry Season, Hot Season and Stupid Season.

From 17 November airfares rise for the ' season '.

Is there an IamMaiC season Doc ?

IamMaiC --

My wife just flew from Atlanta to Bangkok in September and returned three weeks later on Korean Air for just $842. I just did a quick search on Expedia and nothing came up less than $2000 anytime in December or early Jan. Can't believe the price swings.

Might want to call Korean Air direct -- sometimes they may be able to fix you up. Flight from Atlanta is direct to Seoul, Korea (15 hours), then 5 hours to BKK. Good service, cheap price (at least they were).

Good luck!

OK Thanks I'll check that out. I flew to Thailand last year at that price also $842. The $2000 is not that bad either. First time I flew to Thailand in 1987 I paid almost $3000 dollars for a ticket

That's the number four on the seasonal description list Chon. AKA the stupid season

Prices for flights from the states are almost twice the price at that time . I also have to go at that time and there are no deals . try to be flexable to leave a few days before or after your desired departure date and you could get a better price .

Maybe . It is almost funny how the price changes from day to day . Keep checking .
