If these are the "special fare tickets" I would hate to see the regular priced tickets.

Also please remember to at tax and the mystery service charge and fuel surcharge to get your real price

No you don't.

If those prices were to be typical of Thai International, once their A380 starts flying to the UK, then I would consider starting using them again.

Sadly, I doubt that they will really cut their going-rate by almost 50%, better (well, pricewise anyway) to stick to Jet Airways or their ilk.

But thanks to the OP for the heads-up !
