THAIPHUKET Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Question to experts= E.g. I want to travel business class, preferably on OmanAir, to Frankfurt plus a few nights in a hotel in Fra. Oman directly does not offer this type of package deal. It seems that even1 night Hotel stay can lead to a cheaper all in package tour price. How would you go about it?

Some travel agents might give you a package deal, have a look in the Bangkok Post for some company names also the Nation. Oman only has the package to Munich, or use their partners to book. sorry cannot be of more help Edited January 26, 2012 by beano2274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIPHUKET Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Gernal question= What about deals in BKK Post, The Nation , et altera, ? Are they all uncompetitive with online prices? Can't imagine that to be the case. They all offer super specialspecials. Or is the target group the non-internet client? I must say, I enjoy browsing these ads, it much easier and more fun to have you fantasy trip in front of your eye without tedious clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The current Etihad deal is for limited time stay so those looking for a long term deal need look elsewhere. I tried 9 month and they turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketmanbkk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 this thread won't last long, it's easier to post a specific question or deal on the Travel Forum rather than this one. Good idea but not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 quatar advertises for £505 LHR-BKK, but for my dates it's £755. dohop.com gave me a fare with singapore airlines for £537, some £70 cheaper then the other websites checked a few days ago.

Stjohnm Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) quatar advertises for £505 LHR-BKK, but for my dates it's £755.dohop.com gave me a fare with singapore airlines for £537, some £70 cheaper then the other websites checked a few days ago. I was quoted the same by their website and a few other online travel agents, BA were only £40 dearer for a direct flight, so may go with them. I'm curious is that £537 deal on SQ from Bangkok or Singapore? Does it have limitations like only staying a fortnight & booking 3 months in advance etc? The last time I got a sub £550/฿25k ticket it was littered with those kinds of conditions.

THAIPHUKET Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I do find this info about airline deals really helpful, it enables spontaneous trips restricted to departures from Thailand. One brainstorming idea is to create a small email alert program, which enables members to receive notifications tailored to their needs, e.g. some key words , Europe, Paris , time frame. Actually, that might be worth some subscription money too me. There is more info on TV which may be of interest to be followed in a much more customized way than the overly broad subscriptions to an often convoluted thread, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure the forum software used here can't do that. I'll do some research though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
