endure Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You're paying £200 extra for the convenience of flying from Manchester. Cheap flights depart from Heathrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonOz Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Easter at the end of March, Songkran mid April, school holidays. All the above are possible high season fares. Try direct through airline websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonOz Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I saw a topic recently where someone flew to a port in Europe on a LCC then to BKK. It supposedly avoided the high UK taxes to non-EU countries. Maybe worth looking into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadbin Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Probably from £480 and for certain dates much more. Plenty online places to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enyaw Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Ubonoz is right Easter hols and Songkran, also a lot of late bookings for March due to annual leave holiday entitlement being used up before new tax year starts will be a reason for higher fares. have you looked on: www.skyscanner.net can use the whole month search, if travelling either side of the Easter hols then can still get a fare on decent connections of around £550 from Manchester.

UbonOz Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You do not specify how long you want to stay. In most cases one month fares are the cheapest, if wanting to stay longer you normally pay more. The least attractive airlines are usually the cheapest, ie. Jet Airways, Air India, Aeroflot etc. Jet have a fare for about £520.00/return early April from LHR. All fares are advertised "FROM" but you have to look at the date range when they are likely to be available. Also, public holidays etc in those ranges can attract higher fares.
