Cheapest flights for years

[Briggsy]

With cheap oil prices and the strong £, flight prices (for those paying in £) are the cheapest for years.

I have just seen a Bangkok to Stansted return on Germanwings/Eurowings for February advertised at £383. Just a 2 hour stopover in Cologne. Brilliant.

Yes and you can also get a cheap oneway from BKK.

Flights start on December 20.

Two flights a week.

After the winter season only one flight per week.

Excellent, too bad business class is still so expensive.

What is that money sign your using?Being this is A Thailand form why not use Baht?It makes it easier for everyone.

If you don't know what a pound sign is and your unable to convert it using a simple google search God help you.

Back on topic I paid a mere £375 return with Royal Jordanian,not my preferred route but a steal non the less as I am prepared to forfeit the return leg if work commitments so dictate.

That'll be the strong £. We pay euro and we are paying the exact same (within 50 euro each) price as we did in 2010. Not complaining, though, we're happy with what we pay. (Emirates Business)

€1500 return from Dublin - Bangkok (via Dubai). Out Dec 9 and back Jan 4th, so not exactly off-peak time. Good value

A friend is flying to LOS next week, 15 November returning 15 January in cattle class on EVA for £473. That's a bargain.

I'm flying AMS-BKK with Malaysian biz class next month for £970.

The benefits of booking well ahead.

I'm finding that whilst economy fares have dropped quite a lot due to the falling oil price the average cost of business class to the UK has barely moved (the same applies to the occasional promo fares that happen a couple of times each year with many airlines).

Your low Malaysian price may be due more to the incidents they had over the last couple of years than the falling cost of fuel.

interesting fact was the recent very small price difference between business and first with some of the Gulf airlines. early september i flew Emirates first BKK-DXB-FRA-DXB-BKK for THB ~THB 116,000 when business was ~THB 104,000!

[taninthai]

Just paid £ 490 London to krabi one way,yes it's expensive but when you are staying 8 months they will not give any deals,if I had wanted a 1 month return could have got it for £535 with Thai .

I don't mind always stick with Thai air do not have to go through Bangkok immigration queues ,collect air miles and will be getting a free bussines class flight with them next year

I managed to get a cheap, but a little bit scary flight with this old established German airline, was not much in flight entertainment, toilet facilities were basic (pee out of the window), duty free was none existent. But the highlight was when I was allowed to fire the twin machine guns at the unsuspecting baggage handlers at Bangkok airport! Would use them again!

"Lots of good deals out there."

So why didn't you get one?

Sorry, maybe you have a better deal that suits my travel plans !

Was looking on Expedia Thailand today and Etihad were offering First Class to Heathrow for 108k return per person if 2 x pax were flying.

Also First class to Heathrow return flying Cathay to HK and then BA to heathrow...132k baht return, good value I reckon.

Obviously you know which dates I'm flying and presume I haven't already searched all those

Thanks for your input but I'm quite happy with £435...

Got the same flight with Thai this year as last, but about £100 cheaper. Sadly the railway ticket to Heathrow and back is just as exorbitant as ever.

[Johnnyy]

I got a business flight to BKK for £1400 on Finnair. Had I waited a while I got an email from EVA quoting £1600 up to 20th Dec I think it was. Some deals are out there.

[gk10002000]

Agree. Here in the USA flights on EVA from LAX to BKK roundtrip coach class are around 700 USD. Haven't seen that in a long time

[MAZ3]

A friend just booked EVA,LHR-BKK-LHR for £465.

Ok it's in May,but anything sub £500 is a good deal on a direct non-stop flight.

[siam2007]

Keep in mind that these cheap Eurowings fares do not include luggage, which is very expensive to add, plus other numerous fees involved. No food either.... Better book a legacy carrier for almost the same where you know what you actually pay for and get

[Chivas]

I booked Oman Air end of Janaury for 2 months at £398.50 via Travel Trolley

interesting fact was the recent very small price difference between business and first with some of the Gulf airlines. early september i flew Emirates first BKK-DXB-FRA-DXB-BKK for THB ~THB 116,000 when business was ~THB 104,000!

First class pricing can indeed be very odd at times. I've seen first going for less than business class on the same airline on more than one occasion.

can you think of any logical reason? i can't!

[KittenKong]

I suppose that it's due to the automatic demand-based pricing systems that many (all?) airlines now use. The fuller the plane the higher the fares, and I imagine that they must be calculating the demand individually for each class. But it certainly is not obviously logical to the end user.
