BKK/JAKARTA/MANILA/BKK

Hi,

What's my best way of doing these destinations?

Ideally I want to travel from Bangkok to Singapore. From Singapore to either Jakarta and onto Manila or vice versa. Then back to Bangkok. I doon't want to be doing return flights everywhere. It makes more sense to do a round trip sort of. The thing is, it seems single flights are almost as expensive as return flights!

Any help greatly appreciated.

For this sort of thing you ideally need one of the Asian airlines to be offerring deals on an "ASEAN" aipass. This lets you buy a book of coupons, for about $100 per coupon, that you can exchange for flights between the ASEAN countries.

 

I think Cathay Pacific were doing them recently and Garuda were certainly doing it during 2003 when I used it. Sorry I don't know if anyone is doing them at the moment but it might be worth checking the websites of the asian airlines.

grs90, that's a good starting point. Thanks.
