Best Site For Flights Lon-bkk?

[bkkbound04]

hi all

could peeps please post info on sites where tickets can be booked on line for trips to bkk leaving london-i'm guessing it would be a uk based site??

i want to visit for 3-5 months, the cheap available flights i've seen are only valid for 2 weeks etc

on my last visit i travelled with ba and booked through their website, it cost £700 for the flight then 75 to change my return date, i was told this was excessive by expats in thailand and that flights go for 3-£400, i can't wait a year til i next visit though and i think thats how far i'd have to book in advance with ba to get anywhere near that price

so i'd be grateful if members could post links to where i could find reasonable fares for my length of visit

i'd also appreciate any tips tricks members may have on finding reasonable fares

thanks in advance

I'd also add travelocity to that list - it's better than most for checking when the cheapest fares are available.

i.e. You can pick the cheapest fare (double-check the restrictions if you think you'll change the return date), and see what dates the fare is available for - rather than looking for the cheapest fare on the date you want to travel... (good if your dates are flexible and money's an issue...)

lastminute.com - they'll refund you the difference if you find the same flight cheaper in 24 Hrs.

Got a really good deal with Thai on expedia.co.uk when I flew in November last year - just over £400 direct.
