single or return ticket?

[jacko 8,814]

No statement of mine is untrue.

 

Some tickets appear cheaper from UK to Bkk than from Bkk to the UK, because the UK tickets are generally more heavily restricted.

 

Hence the 450 pound THAI and EVA tickets out of the UK. One month duration and very expensive for date changes, if possible at all.

You don't tend to find them in Thailand. They tend to be six month or twelve month durations. Three months at a push. More expensive, but useful to me. I've already changed my outbound dates four times with no charge being levied.

Try that with anything less than a full price ticket originating from the UK.

 

Anyway, ticket prices are going through the roof. Might be cheaper for me to fly Club Class soon. :) Approx. 800 pounds for a 12 month ticket. Instead of five or six casual trips, it might be worth just staying longer each time. Already doing up to three months per trip.

My point was biz class tickets are a lot cheaper out of mostly anywhere than the UK.

 

Your first point I disputed was 'Tickets often appear cheaper from abroad, but in reality those are heavily restricted.' Now you say.....'Some tickets appear cheaper from UK to Bkk than from Bkk to the UK, because the UK tickets are generally more heavily restricted. Perhaps you are calling UK abroad?

 

I have a Pattaya agents list of flights before me now, to Europe, in the economy group, they mostly are 3 month tickets, quite a few 6 month, and only the odd 1 year or 1 month validity...

 

Business class tickets are also going through the roof, ('Club' is only British Airways which is in the clouds) I live in Thailand but still buy my business class tickets ex-UK, I wanted to get back here one way then perhaps I could get the bargain Qatar tickets and perhaps the cheaper 'D' and 'Z' classes. But prices are in a state of flux. Perhaps not a good time to call!

Actually, I was referring to the UK as abroad.

I guess that as it is not clear that I'm in Thailand, I could have specified the UK.

 

On my list, there is a lot more of the 12 month tickets and to be fair, six month and three month validities. Those with one month include Egypt Air and Oman Air.

 

Either way it's agreed, ticket prices are rising substantially.
