persil Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Anyone here has some ideas on flights second half of november? Which airline/price? I usually fly thai, but their site suggests cheapest flight is 31.5K, I'd like to see if there's anything cheaper. Also, they appear pretty full already, so maybe I shouldn't wait too long. Emirates is advertised in local papers, but their site gives a price of also 33K Alternatively, anyone here can recommend a reliable travel agent in Pattaya?

persil Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Airline websites are a pain in the butt! Thai quote of 31.5 K ended up costing 48K, because they hadn't added the surcharge yet. Emirates now quoted 24.5K incl surcharges. Almost too good to be true. Are they dry? Don't quite like the idea of going on the wagon on a long haul flight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 That looks to be cheap c/f the prices currently being quoted Oz / Bkk / Oz Thai's Fuel levy / Charges have virtually doubled in the past 12 months Closer to Xmas most flts Oz / Bkk rtn are around AUD 1700 - 1800 (46-49k baht @ current X rate of 27) Cheers DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai quote of 31.5 K ended up costing 48K, because they hadn't added the surcharge yet. But their site also said it was a direct flight, wereas they announced a month or more ago they were going to axe the direct flight. Emirates now quoted 24.5K incl surcharges.

samak Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 so is the TG flight to Auckland back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Emirates is not dry, plenty of booze. Good airline too. Usually newish planes and good range of in seat entertainment. Of course if you get really lucky you might have some fine 'next' seat entertainment as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
