mercman24 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 was checking flights from BKK to Heathrow (or Gatwick) , and all i seem to find is Malaysian air, short haul to Kuala Lumpur then an A380 for about 13 hours . this is for end of july, Question , what are my options, seemed i had many, flying from the uk like a 7hr then a 6hr flight, cant seem to find anything and is there a cheaper time of year to fly. (like in the UK) thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of options. Malaysian is always cheap because it is inconvenient. Are you only interested in the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamJar Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Is this one way? What price have you been quoted thus far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsensam Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 have a look at expedia or lastminute sites, many options and many prices keep an eye on the sites and if you're flexible you can get a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercman24 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 post 2 why inconvenient, as it is on a A380 and overall a short flying time. have i missed something ? just askin !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I reread your post a couple of times and still not sure: Do you prefer: 1) long haul flight (12h+) nonstop from Asia to London 2) connecting with the Arabs, flying 7h + 7h or so Don't expect anything super cheap in July/August. Even though Thailand is not a summer holiday destination it is still affected. A couple of flights on skyscanner.com in the 640 to 660 GBP range. Skyscanner sorts the flights by price and you can do all kinds of filtering/selection. BA nonstop can be had for 677 e.g. (25 July to 9 August). https://www.skyscanner.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I always use EVA air (Taiwan airline) prices usually very good and I just looked around end of July with a return to BKK mid-August and they have fares starting around 27825 Baht (about stg620).

mercman24 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) thanks for the replies , will look at EVA but the extra price is the cost of a hire car for one week he he, and 13 hours is still a good fly time , 16 hours, total. not being critical guys just looking for more pairs of eyes thanks. swings and roundabouts as it were ta, yes MOD i did do the non stop once uk to bkk, never again i use to do the 7+ 7, found it more relaxing. not been back in 3 years now Edited May 9, 2017 by mercman24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fast connections in KL, good service on board and would recommend - A380 the best as always but BKK to KL a small 737. Plus point is they use T4 at LHR so away from the main (and often busy) other terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Qatar have good prices too. 2hr stop in Doha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamJar Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Malaysia Airlines is a good choice, but if you are not keen on doing non stop for thirteen hours, Qatar would be your next choice for around £20 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
