China Eastern and Air India both leading the way with decent priced single and return fares

Norse is starting direct flights LGW to BKK in November .. That'll shake things up a bit ..The Premium Economy Light prices are damned good if you can travel with 15kg carry-on and no checked bags. It comes with priority check in counter too !!

Unlike European travellers I am quite restricted to who and when I can travel. I am however interested in the pricing as UK to Thailand is almost the same distance as I have to fly.

Over the years I have used almost every combination of airlines to travel to and fro. The one rule I try to keep to is this. If I can find a reasonable fare with a top rated airline that has good times, I will use it if there is not too much of a price difference.

For instance, there is a world of difference flying and transiting via Singapore on Singapore Airlines than China Southern via Shanghai. Or using Cathay or Malaysia Airlines rather than Brunei or (I hate to say it) Qantas or even Thai if it means transiting via Australia.

Sure. Price is important but it's only part of the picture.
