williewolf Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Maybe a BHX departure? Just booked my brother BHX CDG BKK and return no big wait times. Paid 454 for Dec, I think you have a high price because it is close to departure date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 A quick Opodo search shows Ethidad at 506 pounds Man-BKK 16.40hrs going 16.50 return...check it out along with Expedia and numerous other sites plus direct websits and you may well find even quicker and cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I booked a flight from Manchester £504 pounds to Bangkok, Both ways only two Hours change over time, I don't mind that, as by the time you have got off the plane in Dubai and got to where your onward departure lounge is its time ti go again. Six hours to Dubai and six to Bangkok both ways again. Edited September 21, 2014 by Thongkorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Buy a cheap flight to Amsterdam and fly with China air direct to BKK. AMS - BKK is about 11 hours. On way back buy cheap ticket AMS- Manchester. Edited September 22, 2014 by FritsSikkink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhamBam Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I too booked with a little over 2 hours stand over time. Emirates £500. Long enough to stretch your legs and get some duty free in. There were many flights with a long stand by time that were slightly cheaper - but who would want to wait at an airport for 8 hours or so to save a few £. Easy enough to filter the results by price and flight time with the likes of skyscanner, kelkoo and others. 16 to 17 hours seems the norm from the UK. Remember to clear your cookies after your last searches on the same sites. Seems to me you get better results and prices that way. I'd add that MAN generally seems more expensive too when comparing prices. Though that would depend if you are close to MAN and also need to factor in rail travel time and expense.
