monkey39 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Ever since I came back from Bangkok last March, I've gotten into the habit of checking flights prices from Texas to Bangkok. I already have a trip locked in for June, but I was also thinking about spending a couple weeks in BKK after Christmas. A couple of days ago, the prices were around USD$1000 from Houston to Bangkok (Dec. 26th '05 to Jan. 7th '06), but when I was checking them today, they had jumped to around USD$1500! WTF! If prices stay around there, I may have to re-think my plans! I'll keep checking on a regular basis, 'cause Thailand's on my mind most of the time, but SHIT! Any advice on cheaper flights to BKK? monkey39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Monkey.... Just a quick check on line: Continental NS to LAX: $361; LAX to BKK via EVA: about $800. (I don't think the EVA quote includes about $100 in airport taxes). Both are RT fares; better book soon if you're serious. I didn't check Southwest from Houston-LAX or any others; that is where you would save your pesos. The Eva fare is pretty good for that period of time. By November, it'll be at least 2-300 smackers more. PM me if u want to discuss more with me. Hugh (mak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.. Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 monkey39 said:Any advice on cheaper flights to BKK? Consolidators buy up those cheap tix, so go to them. A popular one is Angel Travel in Chicago. They are showing flights on Singapore Airlines (the best carrier in the world by far!) from Dallas (DAL-LAX likely on United) to Bangkok at $1180 leaving 12/26-1/1 and $1065 leaving 1/2-5/23. If you prefer to deal with a real person, try this gal: Ms. Net Preung Net Travel & Tour 9817 Painter Ave, Whittier, CA 90605 (562) 945-6203 She does a good job and has access to pretty cheap tix too.

HSTEACH Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Try Thaifly.com I used them for an upcoming trip to BKK. Northwest wanted 1400 bucks,, Thaifly got me a "H" fare for a little more than a thousand. Very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi not just a case of access..all agents get tickets from thier own consolidators....so then it is a matter of who wants to cut the bottom line the most to get the sale. In Oz this week Jetstar is selling tickets for as little as AUD$ 29 for a domestic flight in a huge promotion....so lets see ..um i will make just on two dollars if i bother to sell this fare....wont cover our CRS costs... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 prices go up & down all the time depending. when fall fares are release usually aug or sep maybe good deals also for xmas should show up again, but it may or may be a BETTER deal than what you saw last month!
