Bkkbound04 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 The prices quoted above do not include tax, so the actual fare from London to BKK with Thai Airways is £380,which I booked today. Still a bargain !! JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thalenoi Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Any one knows where to find good prices ex Bangkok to Europe? Most British sites only allow online booking departing from UK My best price for the moment is with Qatar to Paris, 26660 baht tax inclusive at Traveltech2000.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 good bargains indeed as usual from heathrow. unfortunately I'm now at CPH & find it hard to come up with similar deals. additionally I this time require changable return date within 6 months time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 so I guess noone have info which airlines usually have discounted tickets that are still somewhat flexable e.g. cancel fee upto or nearby dep. & changable return date free or for a fee? I prefer SQ actually, but so far I've found dkk12.000 as cheapest departing 22feb-25apr initially on singaporeair.com!! it seems TG may be best bet as usual. does anybody know for sure, which booking class eastwest travel sells discounted & if they are rebookable???

Bkkbound04 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ib13, I just spoke with westeast travel and they only sell discounted tickets for economy class seats. The discounted economy class tickets are fixed, no changes permitted. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I'm glad to hear that, so I may stick with my somewhat flexible discounted econymy BA reservation on 22feb. It's a 1 year ticket that just needs to be issued 7 days b4 departure. Around the GBP500 mark with 2 first nights mandatory bkk accomodation thrown in! Changeable outbound & inbound dates USD125 a piece or perhaps only 1 change allowed not to sure? Anyone aware of better 'flexible' Y class tickets particular star alliance flights appreciated? Tried to get SQ's super flexible B class ticket advertised for 9500dkk, but it seems neither airline itself or other agents willing to sell???

chilli13 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 hmm very quiet, unknowledgable or uninterested fellow posters here :-( however I still choose to post my findings so far: BA is still a very good bet & one of the very cheapest around with changable dates. LH turned out much better for my specific need as I get to stop over in Frankfurt for free as well as their 6mdt ticket allow 1 free change of return flight date & subswequent changes at usd100. ticket can even be refunded altogether in case of severe changed plans, but at a feee of usd150 or so upto outbound departure Cost just over 1000eur, while the almost as flexable 3mdt ticket would have been 20% or so less without the 1 free change... another interesting learning is how the different blocks of booking classes within economy are sold. class Q(1 mdt I think?), which was the first I came across was the first to be sold out & this doesn't depend on how far in advance one book a seat, but simply on if there's still any left? If not class H may be there at a higher price of course, but still quite a deal some 2 weeks before departure. Finally class M & B & full price Y costs almost as much as biz & they're fully flexible(well Y should at least be!). so it's not all discounted unflexible tickets out there as I most often believed & I guess whatever ticket & what your agent told by calling the airline one will find out for sure if a change of date indeed is possible & for how much the hard part though is to get the information about how flexible exactly is that ticket one is just about to confirm online by credit card, as e.g. austrian airline etc. doesn't tell you & booking class ain't informed either!
