I can see the fares to the U.K. from BKK are cheap.

What about the airline itself? Any reports on them? Anyone used them?

via TAS Tashkent, Uzbekistan

with a 2hr 30 min stopover.

Cheaper than Sri Lankan and Jet Airways

Problem is I may need a 1 way flight in August (middle of the summer holidays in the U.K.) and need a cheap flight

airlinequality gives them 2-stars, compared to 3-stars on Sri-Lankan and Jet.

skyscanner are showing Air India, at about B15k one-way early-mid-August, might be preferable ?

skyscanner.... thanks, I'd forgotten about that site after not flying or searching for flights for a long time

Wow - you're a brave man

Of course. Good ole Yorkshire stock

Used them once a few years ago without any drama. A seat on a plane and something to eat if you wanted it. Don't expect too much and you will be rarely disappointed...

Yes, to get there and back (or there, in my case), on time and in one piece is all that is really required.

Thanks for the input.

...Those of us who have long accepted the fact we are nothing but self loading freight tend to be fine regardless of the carrier. Flying is just a means to an end these days.

Its an old Aeroflot, only more budget(if can be more budget)

Their fleet is predominantly western.
