I want to spend christmas this year in the UK and will take my wife and son.

My dates are 14th Dec - 28th Dec

My prefered airlines are Emerates and Eva.

So far I've only looked on lastminute.com and have prices of;

With emirates

Adult £907

Child £710

Do these prices seem about right? Should I wait till closer to the date?

Do prices stay around the same rate all year for flights this time of year?

I've never flown this time of year so am not sure about prices.

I will keep checking the sites weekly, just want to get a good deal.

Thanks

noodles why not contact one of the forum sponsors like save flights ask to speak to tom. here

I looked at going last Christmas and only started looking about October, prices for the flights I could get were well in excess of £1,000 in steerage. In the end we didn't go, and with the snow in the UK I'm glad we didn't.

worth checking www.opodo.co.uk as I have found this better than lastminute.com but generally because I fly direct, I normally use the airline wensites directly which I find are usually as competitive as discount websites for direct flights.

One of the challenges at present is the poor exchange rate which means that a 900GBP fare is only 45kTHB for airlines quoting fares locally in Thailand. That looks reasonably competitive to me for Christmas time.

I will let others aswer whether fares will fluctuate up or down through the year for those dates but I would think you still have a few months before you need to make a decision if you have some date flexibility to get the best deal

I have just been reading the same subject on another site thaiukforum the question the same accept uk to thailand prices from £480 to £700 why is there such a big difference

I do mean difference thai to uk and uk to thai
