My flights to Bangkok and return in May with Qatar cost £33.00 plus £306.24 in taxes per person!!!!

Mrs Fiend is the same, she hasn't a clue how much I earn and her only cares are about having money to buy food and being able to having enough money to send to Thailand for her to pay the mortgage on the house and family, money which she earns from working....

When is your booking? My booking in May has got the A380 on both DOH - BKK (QR830) and BKK-DOH (QR833), but I think in June they reduce the number of A380 BKK flights again Have a look over on http://www.routesonline.com/news/tagged/393/qatar-airways/ It's a good source for keeping an eye on schedule changes, or aircraft changes. Since I made my booking on Xmas Eve I've been informed 3 times about arrival/departure time adjustments... I booked at a time when they were sorting out their summer 2017 schedule changes.

Yet again you show a distinct lack of a sense of humour!!!

Most of the time I tend to book direct with the airline, but my most recent booking was made via netflights.com.... their price was 10 % cheaper and they were also quoting for Qatar flights between DOH and MAN via LHR an option which was not available with Qatar themselves. An option I took as the direct option would have meant a 7 hour layover plus I get an A380 instead of a Nightmareliner on my return to MAN.via LHR. Congrats on finally getting your refund...

I was actually looking at Cathay Pacific as well, and if we were flying out a few days later if would have been the option I went for..... Cathay Pacific are switching the Manchester rotation to A350 on June 2nd and was very tempted to try it, would also get to fly A350 and A340 between HKG and BKK... Hopefully later in the year I might book Cathay.

Etihad dropped off my list of favoured airlines when they changed the baggage allowances.... Mrs Fiend likes to bring plenty of Thai ingredients back with her so always hit the 30KG per person limit with Emirates and Qatar.... Good job I take a luggage scale with me when we go.

In May I'm flying with Qatar and my return routing is via LHR.... We've got 3 hours between landing at Terminal 4 and taking off from terminal 5...

Well, looks like my gamble of booking when I did paid off..... the price has already gone back up.... Also had a little bit of good news thanks to being signed up to myflightapp..... The BKK-DOH leg on the return has been swapped from a 777-300ER to an A380... So now I have 3 legs on the A380 and it will make the Nightmareliner leg easier to suffer...

The Nokia brand is getting relaunched and they are switching over to Android... It will be interesting to see how they go....

My trip is being paid for courtesy of working my normal shifts over Xmas and New year period... loads of triple time goodness thanks to working 12 hour shifts!!!

Finally got round to booking and went with the Qatar option with a twist.... and the deal came in at £339.24 each... And the twist? The route is MAN-DOH-BKK outward and the BKK-DOH-LHR-MAN on the return.... The good thing is we have the A380 DOH-BKK and DOH-LHR!!! The bad thing will be having to suffer the Nightmareliner MAN-DOH... The timing of the Oman Air flight put us off...

So some guys have too much time on their hands...... GoogleDUSA,- you're one of them, you seem to spend all your time googling crap and then posting it one here....

GoogleDUSA..... This year April temperatures hit the record books.. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-thailand-hot-april-20160427-story.html I was in Thailand in April for Songkran, and in May to attend a funeral..... Temperatures were hitting 45 degC up in Uttaradit.... There is plenty of information on the internet that tells you April is hotter than July!!!

People are more likely to believe info that comes from sources that have boots on the ground than somebody like GoogleDUSA who hasn't set foot on Thai soil for years!!!

LOL... and you're claiming these websites are infallible!!! "Forecast" defintion.....

GoogleDUSA strikes again!!!

No doubt he just found it when googling all things Pattaya...

Just been checking for my dates in May it was coming in at £354... it's a pity the time of the flight from MAN is bad as I prefer morning departures...

BigDUSA - a wannabe travel agent !!!

I try to check all my notes prior to heading to Thailand as I know Thai banks are very picky over the condition of foreign currency they will accept. They tend to reject notes that have been written on or have tears in.

LOL!!!!

The Manchester flight is now Singapore - Manchester - Houston rather than SIngapore - Munich - Manchester, so Manchester to Singapore is now non-stop.

From what I can gather the Thailand v Malta match will now be played the same weekend in October 2017..... and will coincide with me being in Thailand again!!! Also just read on their facebook page they will be playing a Test match against an El Salvador Rugby League team in Sydney, Australia on February 4th 2017.....
