steelepulse Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just got a trip alert from Kayak for HKT-LAX on Asiana Air. R/T is about $1100 or 33K baht. Asiana was voted world's best airline and is a member of star alliance. http://www.worldairlineawards.com/Awards-2010/Airline2010.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 SP, what site or method did you use to find/book/purchase that ticket? KAYAK.com FYI, you can "sometimes" find the same deal if you go directly to the airlines website...and "sometimes" you can even get a better deal. I've purchased tickets off several different consolidators websites. But if a problem arises, I've found it easier if you have bought the ticket directly from the airline. They "usually" deal with the problem quicker, are easier to get in touch with (i.e. sometimes have offices in the airport where you are stuck!), etc. Just a quick comment...

MisterMan Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Also forgot to thank whoever posted the bit about clearing your cookies from the internet browser. The websites do raise the fares every time you return back to the site...at least they did for me. Once I cleared the cookies the price went down by about 75-100 $US...significant no?

traveldog Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah Steelepulse....that is true only a one way ticket...had me going there for awhile that Asiana flight looks sweet..but not for one way!...I still got my ticket a bit better with China Eastern Airlines. Misterman just clear your cookies the next time you check and see as it made a difference on mine or don't up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie2 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I fly back and forth between LA and BKK a lot and in my experience, China Airlines has great prices connecting in Taiwan... I've gotten as low as $960... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagaii Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You have to be careful with China Air- last time I flew they didn't have an entertainment system, just drop down screens in the center aisle. It was a long boring flight home. Would rather pay more and have movies at least. Also I use a travel agent because I don't want to pay all the fees again for luggage going from lax or sfo to inland airports with the domestic carriers. Most times some cost to lax as it is to las vegas, phoenix, salt lake, or even houstin. i use Mox and sidestep to compare, seems mox has better rates. I am also going in June and looking at one way Cathy from phuket to SFO 34,000 China had the best deal thou and found a flight for only 16 hours out of bangkok 23,000 figure in June u can get flights hkt-bkk for 1,500 baht each way Note June 30 is the last day and the frist prices double just about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMan Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is it my imagination or did Thai raise their prices? Still looking for a good ticket from BKK to LAx. Some people suggest SEOUL but their website make it impossible to book HKT to LAX.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMan Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks SBK, have had a look and made a spreadsheet now. I do like the idea of Star Alliance miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Lots of options here http://matrix1.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/prego/calendar;jsessionid=C5974BCAFA5C3D2F0ED3B6DF1E40F288 It's amazing that by changing your dates just a day or two either way different prices and options open up. I used this site for reference, then had a travel agent book the actual tickets as the online option from the airlines site didn't give a good price.

sbk Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks SBK, have had a look and made a spreadsheet now. I do like the idea of Star Alliance miles. I live for miles I have a United Mileage plus credit card that all my tickets go on and I use exclusively while in the US (a mile for every dollar spent) -- two years ago using my miles I flew Bkk-US-UK return for about $300.

MisterMan Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just got a decent quote Korean Airlines Phuket to Lax about 36k. Leaving mid june. ret. mid august. Also Mox said that after Songkran there might be some promotions but High Season the states starts June 25. At this point looks like Korean Air. Would like Thai but comes to over 50K+ Delta Air and Korean Air use the same miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
