Hello forum.

My Long term G.F has just been issued her 3rd tourist visa and im looking at her flying to see me in England for 6 months. My question is whether it is cheaper booking a flight from england or for her to book from Thailand. i seem to find it always works out more expensive for return flights from Thailand then return flights from england .(not sure why this seems to be the case).

can any forum members recommend a company either in Thailand or england that can offer good value return flight tickets from Thailand to England (Birmingham preferred) for a 6 month ticket. direct flights doesn't matter too much. do any forum members have any ideas about the cost im looking at paying? id really like to know how cheap or expensive people are paying for tickets these days.

thanks in advance.

regards, Barnaby

I generally find QATAR the best, a small stop over (40 minutes) in the middle east but good service, price is generally around 33k baht for a return Thailand to London.

There are cheaper seats to be had but they usually have problems like long stop overs, bad rep etc or just awful flight times.

I would always recommend booking direct with the airline via their website.

Often much cheaper booking in UK.

Thats very generous of you to take your GF to the UK three times. Soon her passport will be considered 'clean' (farang immigration stamps) and she wont need a sponsor. Have you considered taking her husband khun boon-me with you. I am sure he would love to see the big clock !
