I can get a deal through Touchdown of 139.00 gbp as I work for a cargo agent . The published fares I don't know. Unfortunately the days don't fit in with my shift schedule but I might get a quote to see if they do that deal in august . Me thinks "not".

Roland,

 

Still trying to find out and will post as soon as I get prices/agents or any other info. ThaiJet, another LCC, are currently doing Frankfurt-Bangkok (via somewhere in the middle east, I think) for 300 Euros return so it's anybody's guess where Phuket Air will pitch themselves.

It's along way to fly in a Classic, it may cost a few quid more but I'll stick with Eva

The refuelling stop is in Sharjah. The 329 euro price is ostensibly for a flight for a package holiday, to be ticketed immediately on payment. The travel period is between the 24th of April and the 20th of June and is for a duration of no more than a month.

Outside of this, tickets are between 100 and 400 euros more.

[CheshireTom 1,377]

Roland,

 

The price is GBP 405 plus tax up to 31 Oct.

 

The price over Xmas is only GBP 450 plus tax which I think is pretty good for the guys down your way.

 

Thanks to the guys at WorldPlus travel for the info.

Tom,

Not a bargain really considering that EVA has a fare around that price most of the year and then there is the reliability factor plus not being able to collect miles for free trips upgrades etc.

Even Garuda was cheaper than that so for me I'll stick to EVA or Thai unless they drop their prices by about a ton.

Just the fact that there using 200's is enough to put me off

Tom,

could you please post a link for that FRA-BKK deal? :)

 

Edit: I have found these 2 links:

 

http://www.thai-jet.de/

 

http://www.sunline.de/

 

Both sites are in german, OK with me.

I'm going back in july I checked the the phuchet airline site for prices on the dates they fly according to schedule and all I got back was that there was nothing available on that date. When i get that shit on a site I never use it again as it is false advertising or else the site is not the standard it should be

[jfg 1]

THG holidays are doing £439 till Dec can have with accomadation £20 for 3days might be in a tent .There web site not much good phone no 0870 055 7222

Guys,

Crackpot was warning you about using a Boeing 747-200.

Have a look at the ThaiJet site and the Sunline site. Sure both are in German and sure both seem to offer low fares, but look at the aircraft in the pictures.......

It is a Boeing 757-200. Ok if you enjoy plenty of take-off and landing cycles and have time to spare............but surely spending your time in Thailand is more important.

Dougie,

 

Now you know how all these guys you see in Bundesrepublik Naklua nursing their bottle of mekhong and two sodas actually manage to get there in the first place. <_>

Tom,

Thanks for clearing up how these stormtroopers in the Fourth Reich got there. I had always thought they were parachuted in from Junkers Ju-89 "Tante Ju's", you know , these corrugated iron tri-motor things.

Forgot to post but a couple of weeks ago I booked the Phuket deal for cargo agents through Touchdown. 8th till the 21st aug.

 

It's buggered up my holidays as their schedules don't fit in with my shifts.I'll just have to work some more OT for lieu days.

 

180.50 gbp return .

 

It might be a crap airline.It might be flying out of lgw when I work at lhr .It might be a crap departure time. It might have mucked up my hols but I'll take my chances at this price .

 

If no one flies them before I go I'll let you know what I think.

Anyway I'll post a report on them if no one does before .

Just completed trip with Phuket Air ,ok you get what you pay for , direct flight LGW -BKK left on time plenty check in desks ,inexperienced cabin crew , tv not up to much but I never use anyway, food crap.good flight time.

BKK-LGW stop for fuel Dubai dont leave aircraft 1hour, same above ,so ok would use again.In Nov if anybody find cheaper fare than THG [£439] prehaps would post it

[CheshireTom 1,377]

Etihad are currently around GBP 375 incl tax ex LHR from most agents from 1 Sep up to 31 Oct. They are commencing Gatwick services (3 days a week) from 1 Sep, increasing to daily flights from Oct 12 so I would imagine their prices for Nov will be around the same mark. They should haves released their full winter schedule and prices by the Aug Bank Holiday weekend.

[flighty 31]

Thanks jfq and Tom,

Gatwick is becoming more attractive to me, recently spent 2 1/2 hours check in at Heathrow with EVA, no time for duty free etc

Flighty

[jfg 1]

Just to update fares with THG travel up to 1st Nov £419 ,Nov £449 also seem much cheaper at this stage over Christmas and New Year than Thai or Eva.

Increasing flights to 5 days a week .

Etihad sounds good to ,LGW is ace for me do you know [Cheshire Tom] if they indirect ,how long the stopover?
