lukeskywalker Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Hello, I need to fly to Australia before. I live in Chiang Mai. For those Aussies out there, what is the best/cheapest airline? I need to go to either Perth or Sydney in February. Thanks, Tim Edited December 8, 2009 by lukeskywalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tig28 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I make no claim about the "best" ---- but both Tiger and Air Asia do BKK to Perth return for well under 20,000 Bt. Direct flights BKK to various Aust. ports can often be found at reasonable prices (aprox 30,000 Bt.) with Emirates, BA/Qantas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Thai to PER is about 28k and SYD about 35k. Edited December 8, 2009 by tw25rw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong Bob Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you are going for a visa, Perth is your place for a 12 month, same day visa. Search forum for opening hours etc., if I remember they are only open two days a week. Perth is a beautiful city. Above price with Thai is a good one. Unless you plan to travel from Chiang Mai to Bangkok by songtaew to save money, I suggest you don't use Jetstar, Tiger or Airasia - all crap airlines IMHO.

VitalGirl Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 You can, from time to time, get super deals flying direct CNX to Singapore and then straight through to Oz. Malaysian Airlines have some incredible deals advertised in the last 1-2 months. You might also investigate flying CNX to Tapei and then direct into Perth with someone like Air China... have friends who swear also that, from time to time, this is super cheap because CNX-Taipei a busy, well serviced route, as is Tapei-Perth. Be creative and try to bypass BKK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter991 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 You get what you pay for ... best value for money (return ticket in Australian dollars) would be $513.80, using a combination of Tiger Airways and Air Asia. Your best bet would be to use a website called Sky Scanner. The price of tickets between CNX and PER varies enormously - if you do not have to travel on a particular day in February, you can save nearly $900 on the return trip.

roderick17 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think Jetstar will also fly you to both Sydney and Perth, for a resonable fare. Try their website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think Jetstar will also fly you to both Sydney and Perth, for a resonable fare. Try their website for details The problem I found with Jetstar was you arrive in Singapore at midnight and the only flight to Perth was at 17:50, so over 17 hours in Singapore... the faster route was BKK-Sing-Bali-Perth but when I looked all seats were sold out up to end of March 2010.... coming back was 2 hr stopover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
