Nuff Said Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The only thing special about this is the high price, unless you want to fly non-stop to Germany. Yesterday I recieved an E-Mail from Qatar, with offers of Bangkok to London from B31885, Frankfurt B30335 and Paris B30530, all including taxes. Book by 31 January. And there are airlines cheaper than that. The Indian ones seem to be top of the low price charts at the moment. It pays to shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lufthansa in Thailand do this quite frequently and with only a short time period to book. The fares are not only quite high but you have to note the word 'from'. In reality the dates you choose are likely to be a few thousand baht more. Also Lufthansa have this unique 500 Baht booking charge that is also added on. As you say there are much better deals if you search for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There is nothing special about this offer, back to the market place and search again, cash still in pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wump Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sorry but there is absolutely nothing special about a "promotion" for nearly 1000 Euros to Europe. The Middle Eastern airlines (Etihad, Qatar, not sure about Emirates) often have normal fares of about 27,000 baht, when there is a promotion they can even go as low as 22,000. And if you don't mind flying dodgy you could try Egyptian airlines or Russian Transaero. All regular fares. I been told Finnair is cheap too and they do connections to the rest of Europe (although only cheap from Thailand - last time I checked it was 700 EUR return from BKK and 800 EUR for the same ONE-WAY flight from Europe). 37,300 ฿... what a joke!

Have been checking for april/may trip Middle Eastern airlines Bkk to Europe around 850 euros!!! Aeroflot 570 all in, that's a good deal. Business class is horrendous, can't find anything under 2300 euros, paid 1500 in 2009, 2000 in 2010 on Etihad....Except the not really business classes of Egypt Air, Aeroflot and similar Edited January 20, 2011 by tartempion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's B27,080 including all taxes/charges. The Gulf-based airlines do seem to be trying to raise their rates, from the reasonable prices of the last few years, pity as I'd been quite happy with them for the past few years Edited January 20, 2011 by Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wump Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes I was talking incl. tax, this was last year, I am not sure how different it is now. But I been coming and going many times and even on the shortest notice I never paid more than just under 800 Euros ... so advertising the same route for 900+ is a bit silly. It's usually between 26,000 and 30,000฿.... hey when Airasia started flying to Europe and even picked up nearly free flights so ended up paying something like 12,000 return. But if you're using Airasia you have to make your way to Kuala Lumpur first and in Europe they only fly to Paris and London (London-Standsted connects nicely to the rest of Europe via Ryanair for an average of 35 EUR per ticket all charges incl.).

junkofdavid2 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The middle eastern airlines like Qatar and Emirates have much prettier stewardesses too!! Instead of those unionized oldies in western airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works both ways. I have just run price comparison for the entire month of February, BKK-LHR and return for 14 days, and Air India is the cheapest for 26 of the 28 days, from B27955 all inclusive, with this fare available on 12 of those 26 days, good connecting time margins and modern B777 and A321 aircraft. I've never flown with them so can't comment on their quality. Edited January 21, 2011 by Nuff Said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
