KMixon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That's so much cheaper than what we are paying, but we are coming from the states!! I even got a pretty decent deal. Oh well, Thailand is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khundon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 read small print/conditions:"# Book by 02 March 2009 # Travel dates 16 February - 30 June 2009 # No travel permitted between 10 April - 17 April 2009 # Minimum stay Saturday night # Maximum stay 30 days" Why put a max stay of 30 days. What difference does it make to airlines if it is 31-40 or even 60 days? A return is still a return, why do they charge more for over 30 days? We are not living in the bloody plane for the duration, so why the restriction?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 it's very normal in aviation that short stays are cheapest. that way the traveller would be able to travel several times instead of just one - benefit for the traveller and for the airline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is condescending in the extreme for this airline make the assumption, that we cannot afford to travel as many times as we like. Short or long stay makes no difference to the airline. This ploy is just a way of getting the headline rates at the top of price comparison sites. Looks good until you get to the small print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because the offer is for travel to be completed by 30th June ? But #462 return, for September, is still a fairly good price IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If you believe that you are a fool. don, you either get this fare or get another one without any restrictions for twice as much. two forum members are flying for £356 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The different booking classes etc are just marketing. A certian number of people get the cheapest tickets with no changes allowed with varying conditions up to the full price people who get flexible tickets. I expect that when Thai say they will sell their seats cheaply they are just releasing more in the cheaper booking class. Restrictions on dates are part of that because a certain type of traveller would find that plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
