Thats the cheapest I could find using roughly same dates I've used before in November (Eva not flying everyday so you need to juggle dates) Clearly on Thai it must go via Phuket first on the inbound sector Be careful using Skyscanner as they've got somewhat sneaky on their headline fare when you search These are via Travel Trolley all inclusive obviously

^^ Might be seats only available in a different booking class which may alter the fare whatever 6 classes in Economy

Credit to Stickman in his 22nd May upload....exactly what we've been saying Pricey airfares. "I’m looking to travel from London to Bangkok for a 2-week break, departing late June and returning mid-July. I have trawled the internet for flights in Economy, Premium Economy, and Business class. I contacted 2 of the main travel agents in the UK and was left holding on the phone for ages due to heavy demand. Prices in all classes of travel have doubled since before the pandemic. Economy starts around £800. Premium Economy seems not to exist and neither agent could find rates for this. Busi

Yes that the clear pick up of travellers looking to book as opposed to viewing a limited flight schedule Eva are not even running till the first week in July and even then only 3 days a week
-
So many fares are eyewatering now compared to pre pandemic Clearly many people now chasing limited flight schedules....am literally seeing increases every time I look and as for sensible transit times forget it on most routings Thai surprisingly whilst increased prices are not showing the percentage rises seen by other carriers If people are contemplating Christmas and New Year but holding off waiting for total relaxation of restrictions I'd be inclined to book now rather than awiting another few months

So on the multi entries (if subsequently available) its just a question of a border run to activate the 2nd one ??
-
The stamps from immigration doubtless are legal but certainly not the route they were obtained ! I saw this Mannerat mentioned elsewhere actually.......could she obtain a 2nd tourist visa following 90 days on the first (including extension) without the guy leaving the country at all ?? Step too far ?? Or just as well to do a 3 day trip to Phnom Penh and obtain it normally ?? Question relates to myself
-
Ignore the dates/prices this is standard connection time on Austrian they use London thro to Bangkok Friend also went out on Lufthansa to Bangkok few weeks ago with similar transit period 40 minutes If its ticketed its all good. Most people will have seen (but probably taken little notice) of coming off the airbridge and at the end they'll have hello Girls/Boys with Boards saying Flight numbers go immediately to Gate 12 or whatever Ground handling aint daft. If the first motor is behind schedule every passenger will be known to GH who have onward connections
-
If its ticketed than its completely acceptable...... Some connections with other carriers are frequently ticketed at just 40 minutes transit let alone an hour and a half
-
Hypothetically what would happen if an Agent was busted (lets say this Maneerat) all files collated and your name was in clear breach of immigration law for many years ?? Personan non grata overnight and dont come come back If you dont mind the risk than fair play
-
Still waiting for a refund from Thai airways ?? Thai Airways is yet to process refunds to many customers for airfares dating back 2+ years You wont like this lol Credit to Stickman for highlighting the story https://simpleflying.com/thai-airways-boeing-777-double-delivery/

This is Copy and Paste from my own post on Legends so no harm in sharing on this occasion (hopefully it doesnt open huge gaps between sentences as occasionally happens) Few guys were on airline threads chatting and advocating Scoot airlines pros and cons on their non stop Gatwick Bangkok service Fares for Scoot Plus seating (featured in video) were coming in at around £620 return last time I checked depending on which days of the week Paul Lucas has done a 2nd review on them and normally he can be utterly brutal..... Aircraft is the exact model/layout as per the video .....igno

Eye watering Force simply eye watering

Unhedged fuel increases kicking in
-
In hindsight no I wouldnt be using Eva premium economy either !! Same dates. Thats insane for Elite class......there was a time when they first started flying out of Gatwick to Bangkok around 1993 that it was only £100 more for PE than standard economy
-
Same flight but in Business with same carrier Gulf I think any business class will make economy class look piss poor but theres £1897 difference between the two fares and Biz lands 30 metres in front of economy lol At 44 to the £ thats 83,468 Bahts worth of bonking.....Economy for me every time. If I was heavily loaded I'd use Eva Elite ( their premium economy) but nahh I'd never pay for Biz myself outright
-
Have just run identical price check as was per original dated post but changed it now to 2022 First price was cheaper (fairly long transit inbound) but the rest were higher. Really had expected prices to have dipped with perhaps increased competition but carriers still dont have the frequency of 2019 thats for sure

Highly recommended...LIVE streams from Heathrow

Bloody hell lol......rather than seeing how close the left wing engines were to striking the runway look at the right wing sharply rise (as we view it) Coming in initially it looked a perfectly smooth landing including wheels down..... -
What part of that are you implying I'm joking....?? I've looked and looked again and still cant see what you're suggesting Indulge me. I assure you I'm being serious (Edited to add there is doubt of what was actually onboard the jet that went to Russia breaking airspace restrictions but lets just say it wasn't tourists)
-
Overnight thats changed to Red virtually everywhere. Unfortunately Ursula von der Leyen is doing her very best to ensure Putin launches his first nuclear weapon in anger... Putin warned dont INTERFERE.....nobody therefore can be surprised whatsoever when he does subsequently launch (statement of fact rather than inviting political discussion) I see Russian Rouble Boris allowed a private jet to take off from Inverness bound for Russia last night against all sanctions doubtless loaded down with cash

Further down that page was this.....is that the shortest transit connection ever !!

Acknowledge OP was relating to USA fares but just ran this via Travel Trolley for leaving tomorrow for 1 month London Bangkok

I cant imagine any airline currently willing to use Russian airspace no matter what logistical problems that might throw up More and more Countries closing their airspace to Russian airlines as well have just been reading an update from Alex Macheras top aviation guy

Asia doesnt just mean Thailand Airlines take the Polar route on many destinations
