bibblies Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Could be worse - Air Belgium?:: I'm just looking at the moment for around the same time but, unlike Fidel, I've got slightly more flexible dates because I can stay longer. (I still wouldn't put money into the hands of AirFrance though!) Usually I go by BA (because of convenient flight-times, not nationalism) but it's too expensive this time. However, I've noticed quite a few direct flights from EvaAir for around the same price as Fidel's. (Is it around 0.69 Euro to the pound?) On a promise of good things from a particular girl if I manage to be there over Xmas & New Year, so here's hoping! Where did you get yours, Fidel? Is that including tax, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi Bibblies, that's all inclusive; Dublin-Paris-Bangkok return. So that's just under 850 quid sterling. I got it with www.lastminute.com My sister was on the lookout for me and she found one for under 600 quid sterling... not too bad. Check out www.cheapflights.co.uk, they have some flights for similar prices from the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japio1 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Try Phuket Air. As of november 1st they will fly 5 times weekly between Gatwick and BKK. Cheap and not too bad. The only disadvantage may be a technical stop in the middle east on one leg of the journey only. www.phuketairlines.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Their price for Xmas has to be seen to be believed. Worse than mainstream carriers. Fucking old Boeing 747 200s And why do they stop on ther BKK-LGW leg ? To check that it is all in one piece or to get some cheap fuel ? Even on the 200s, they can fly BKK-LHR on one tank.

pe7e Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Christ they aren't that bad, are they! :: I've just bought a ticket for next tuesday, I just couldn't resist a £299 return direct flight and I've got some unfinished business with that cute little girl in your bar (the one I never got round to paying the BF for) :: Are you back in PTY yet?
