Qatar Airline

Qatar prices tickle me a little.

It would seem that, when they send out their newsletter, their prices to all consolidators go up to their standard LHR-BKK-LHR rate of around £460 - £470

Then, 2 weeks later the price drops down again.

I got my last newsletter from Qatar around 2 weeks back and checking the price for October departures it was £469

This morning I see its now down to £421.

I'll wait to see what the price does when I get their next newsdrop.

 

Thai have also dropped a little for October departures on their A380 at £456 so they are probably expecting the demand to drop.

Eva at £429 for their direct flight which isnt bad.

 

I still expect Qatar to drop well below the £400

Apparently Qatar have just announced that they will be adding flights to U-Tapao International Airport, Pattaya.... I expect further details will emerge in due course.

U-Tapao would be a lot faster for baggage reclaim and immigration and the runway is bloody long !!

For us BKK is best option for us as we fly up to Sukhothai.... As for immigration, always get through there pretty quickly using the Thai passport desks....

Well immigration and baggage reclaim may slow if an A380 came in!

Hopefully I will be dropped at the gate and not at the end of that runway.

 

It;s all about the trip home for me, Hwy 7, or 331 and Hwy 36 (death alley).

For those in Central Pattaya it is Sukhumvit or Sukhumvit... If they do decide on another tunnel that may be prohibitive.
