LHR to BKK: Late summer prices

[papalazarou 0]

My situation is that I want to fly StarAlliance for my points and preferably leave LHR on a Friday night and arrive back from BKK on a Sunday evening. This said I noticed that some online booking agents have dropped their Thai Airlines price from LHR to BKK for late August from a silly £700+ to a more sensible £485inc taxes (cheapest quote). My question is, should I hold out for special offers or take it now? I sometimes get screwed on these things as I book what seems a cheap fare only for the airlines to drop £100+ off the price a few days later, or I hold off a bit and the price goes up. I guess the counter argument is am I willing to miss out on £100 or so for peace of mind - and ultimatley yes of course I am - but I need a bit of gentle persuasion before I make my mind up.

papalazarou,

 

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!

 

Many offers, especially at short notice, are restricted to certain flights and/or certain days of the week i.e. midweek.

 

Personally, if I was offered what you have I would go for it without any hesitation. However, I would check the booking class as Thai stop awarding miles in H and W class after 1 July.

Thanks Tom,

 

The class thing is something I will think carefully about as I lost out on that recently coz I didn't check the class. Fortunately that was only a shorthaul trip.

Hi

 

Seems a good price for Thai as in British holiday season.
