bendix Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ummmmmm . . have you tried the hundreds of flight search websites? Or even - god forbid - a travel agent? Seriously, what on earth do you expect from the forum regarding your request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly on one of the hundreds of sites you mention. Thereby saving me a lot of time searching. Thanks for your fine contribution. Edit: Just for your information...I asked a similar question last year and was able to ditch a flight I had been looking at for £550 and picked one up for £405 thanks to advice I received from a helpful member here. I was under the impression that the sharing of such info was the reason for this forum's existence. Edited April 13, 2012 by smokie36 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've had on a few occasions gone to travel agents thinking they would know best. And they probably do. BUT and it's a big but, they dont always want to give you the best deal. I've not once had an agent tell me of special deals unless I specifically mention one I had heard about from other source. Anyhow.....back on topic..... I dont know but would check EVA Was the etihad fair you got inincluding fuel surcharge etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I was looking recently and found Finnair the lowest at 34,350 baht short stop in Helsinki for dates required. (inc all tax etc) Edited April 13, 2012 by CharlieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Try calling several of the airlines and ask "Do you have any special deals?" Sometimes they do that aren't advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutoie2 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I recently looked at "cheaptickets" website and Aeroflot had a flight for 25K Baht, it involved a 15 hour wait in Moscow before connecting with London flight. What would one do with themselves in Moscow I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UbonOz Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 What's wrong with you all? Surely someone can beat 30k Baht?? Unlikely to get a fare that cheap this time of year. I booked with atninter, a travel agent, a couple of weeks ago, did it all online. Recommended by a TV forum guy. First time I have used an agent, very good service. I normally book direct via airline website but their fares were more expensive. Eva fare was 12,000baht dearer for two adults on their site. Paid 35,835/person with a bank transfer, travelling 4 June, a three month fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champken Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I am also looking around for a cheap fare to London around the same date as the OP although i have decided to go for a one way this time and was on the verge of making a booking with Srilankan airline for about 15500b when suddenly they increased the fare to 17700b, so i too am happy to hear of any deals that are around now I managed to book a 12 month ticket to return here in late August and back to London next April with Egypt air for £483 inclusive which considering the prices they seem to want from here i didnt think was bad...they will however charge you £50 per change of dates if you decide to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazes Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 A lot of dodgy airlines being mentioned here. Good luck on Aeroflot and Egyptair and Srilankan and all the rest of the cheap charlies. Consistently one of the cheapest of the cheap is China Eastern Airlines. Or Sardine Air. Basically you want to fly with airlines who are big enough to have half-decent service engineers to help keep them in the air. What's the point of saving 2000 baht if you never reach your destination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
