somchai jones Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi folks Does anyone know of cheap direct flights to sydney or melbourne return from bangkok? Cheapest I can seem to find leaving and returning early june is appx £650. I'm aware of Air Asia (stopping in KL) but just wanted to know if there are any other cheap options that fly from bangkok to mel/syd direct. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipp Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I believe Thai Airways has a promotion on. About THB 24,800 incl taxes. Check online on www.moxtravel.com or any other local agent for availability on your travel dates. I think British Airways also flies to Sydney from Bangkok but with the strikes looming, maybe better stick to THAI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Jetstar flies BKK-MEL and return non-stop several times a week (but NOT daily!). I did fly MEL-BKK end of October 2009 (after the same Jetstar made me miss my flight on AirAsia-X ), and paid around 430 Aus$ incl. all Taxes for the one-way, which was quite reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedoug Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Why are you talking in pounds? If you are coming from Britain it would be cheaper to buy a London/Sydney with a stop in Bangkok rather than break it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thai Airways have daily specials, as long as you are willing to use their dates, then you can get a very good deal. Some are One Way others are return. http://www.thaiair.com/AIP_SuperDeals/DisplaySpecial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really far from making promotion for this mediocre airline, but the prices for nonstop BKK-MEL can't be beaten. particularly now, as few people intend to book flights to BKK in these days.... unfortunately, as I am checking their website and some other worldtimetable websites right now, these flights on Jetstar seem to have disappeared since the summer timetable started end of March 2010.

roskruge Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hold your horses, as the way things are going flights BKK/Sydney will be free, that is on RAAF military aircraft evacuating all 'Aus' citizens. HA HA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchai jones Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks for the replies folks. I'm talking in £s because of habit - I'm from UK but I live in Thailand. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
