Tom Many thanks for your reply. Are Qatar reducing prices already in anticipation of the new competition because i have seen £387.00 on lastminute.com for Bangkok ex Manchester out 28th April / return 19th May ! Also have noticed prices for Emirates are now usually in excess of £500.00 I know we are entering the low season in Thailand but appears to me Emirates prices are well in excess of previous years. Chris

Tom Thanks for the info regarding Etihad. Usually i use either Emirates or Qatar ex Manchester to Bangkok . Will be interesting to see if Etihad undercut the competition ? Chris
