Konini 2035 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It's gone a bit quiet on here... Anyway, I've got a price alert in Skyscanner for flights to LHR and STN in November. Just got an email with a BIG drop in price. It's China Southern, so maybe not the best airline, but it's only 15,622 baht BKK - LHR. 19 hours there, 16 hours back, but it really is cheap, and Emirates is 16 hours each way. Picking up a hire car and getting onto the northbound A1/M1 is so much easier from Stanstead, difference is about an hour and a half if traffic is good, two or more if it's not. Not sure why I put the alert in for it really, but it may be of interest to someone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discounted fares from Thailand seem to have dried up over the last year or two. I don't know why. No shortage of cheap flights into Thailand, but hardly any originating here. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatOilWorker 7583 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sadly Emirates have also reduced their checked baggage weight limitations, but only by 5 kg. https://www.emirates.com/uk/english/before-you-fly/baggage/checked-baggage.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatOilWorker 7583 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Baggage allowance for Thai Airways was reduced from 30 to 20 kg as of April 1st, 2019. But, will it go back up to 30 kg after August 10, 2019 or how to understand the below? Economy Class 30 kg (66 pounds) ** Except ** - RBD L : 20 kg (44 pounds) - RBD V/W : 20 kg (44 pounds) Effective for ticket issued on 01APR19- 09AUG19 : 30 kg (66 pounds) Effective for ticket issued on/after 10AUG19 https://www.thaiairways.com/en_TH/plan/travel_information/baggage.page Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a PR clusterfock. What was the point of reducing the baggage allowance for 4 month and a few days? I had all but eliminated Thai Airways from my travel plans, since 20 kg was a total shopping killer. It was only because Emirates also adjusted their allowance I double checked. That said, Thai Airways have some rock bottom prices for European destinations throughout the summer 2020. I just secured my tickets. Happy shopping. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking FT there are a lot flights into SE Asia that are competitively priced, but not so many starting from SE Asia. CGK is the exception, but you have to position to Jakarta to get any decent Biz class fares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angy 41 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Very bad experiences with most of airlines during the Covid-19. Most of them cancelled all flights without giving possibility to their passengers of going back home. Also most of them are not giving back the reimboursement of cancelled flights or the procedure is not applicable. Air Asia and Qatar Airways, two on that list that I'll remember for the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qatar has charged CAD$3,000 for a one way flight, economy class, from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ) in April 2020. Flight was packed full, no spare seats or social distancing. A normal return flight, not by Qatar, is CAD$1,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 6905 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I tried booking tickets from BKK-HKT today. My first attempt was on Thai Airways web site, but the site hung up when I tried to input my personal information, it wouldn't accept telephone numbers from the US, it just gave an unspecified error message. I tried again on Thai Smile, and it got hung up on dates, it wouldn't accept numbers. I suspect that it wanted me to pick from a menu, but the menu never appeared. I looked at Expedia, but it didn't offer any Thai Smile flights. Finally, I booked on Air Asia. It worked, but they nickle and dime you so your final payment is much higher than Thai Smile.

Mike Teavee 3071 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Did a quick check for J Class BKK-MAN in May and the prices seem to be 20-25% lower on Qatar than I've seen recently (Which were 50% higher than I'm used to paying but a move in the right direction). I normally use ITASoftware / Google Flights but Momondo https://www.momondo.com/ seem to have the best prices for the dates I'm looking for...
