pop_corn Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Air Asia is cheaper?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick75 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yeh, but air asia are crap, no responsibility for connecting flights as I found out a month ago had to rebuy two tickets from Kl to Bkk, I would use them for one off short flights where you don't have connecting flights otherwise I will avoid them in the future.

barryloei Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Just checked online for 10th april depart and return 4th may 399pounds thats from London-bangkok-London . BUT Bangkok-London-Bangkok for the same dates is 715pounds , work that one out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanook2me Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You still have a stop over with Emirates, which makes it a marathon journey of 24hrs plus. Fly direct with Eva you can buy from their website for £550 12hrs direct from Heathrow. I'm a pauper so have to travel economy but at heathrow i buy the Servis Air Lounge which is situated almost next to Eva airs check in gate. For the princely sum of £18 you get 3 hours of quietness / tv / newspapers / electric plug in for laptop / FREE food and ALCOHOL Places are limited and no groups or parties are allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT Bangkok-London-Bangkok for the same dates is 715pounds , work that one out . Just looked at prices for BKK-JFK in July. Emirates 10,000 baht more than Qatar, Thai doesn't even fly there anymore, but I can go to LAX for about the same price as JFK with Qatar. I can't understand how our national carrier can be so far out of whack on pricing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yabaaaa Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Air Asia is cheaper?! Air Asia don't fly to my home town in the UK Air Asia don't use the latest Airbus A380, + I also collect Emirates miles and am in the frequesnt flyer program so its no use to me. I'm not so sure I could trust AA to get me there on time having used them inThialand with a 3 hour delay for a 1hour flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people also don't realise that London is not conveneinet for 90% of the country, that for me WOULD make it a marathon journey. 2 hours in the car extortionate parking fees and fuel costs to get there. As I come at least twice a year I get free use of the lounges in thier frequent flyer program + I now see I will be flying on the new A380 whoooope!!
