The thing about 10+ hour flights, is that unless you’re in business class- they’re hard to enjoy. Up front in business class however, things couldn’t be better. Personally, I blame the bottomless champagne. If you enjoy 20+ hours of the good life, on the way to Bangkok over the increasingly cramped seats of the economy cabin, there are some solid deals out there worth taking a peek at.
Bangkok- always fun, always far. Quite a few airlines are toting wonderful fares, as they attempt to conquer new and different European cities, which leaves us with plenty to choose from for our next Asian adventure. Depending on where you start, you can fly with Turkish, Finnair or Qatar for just £1150 and up round trip. Where from? How about Stockholm, Oslo, Venice, Manchester or Dublin (and even London for a bit more).
For the most part, these deals are around from September 2017- the end of May 2018. Not every single date will be available, but if you use our handy Google Flights tricks, you’ll find dates with ease. In fact, we’ve made links for you from each city- which you’ll find below.
These deals are quite easy to pull up and book. The cheapest deals can be found from Stockholm, Oslo or Venice, with similar deals from Manchester and Dublin. Simply follow these Google Flights links from: Stockholm, Dublin, Gothenburg, Oslo, Venice, Manchester and London. You’ll need to change dates to fit your needs, but should have no trouble pulling up these deals, sometimes with a choice of carriers. You can’t go wrong in a flat bed!
BA have CW return flights from Amsterdam to Bangkok from €1336 pretty much anytime and you can dump the fourth leg, if you’re London based.
That is a good price out of AMS, but be careful of dumping the final leg, as BA can (and apparently often will) penalise you by stripping your miles and TP. Better to do an easy Avios flight back to London and pocket the extra 40 TP. Otherwise, these are some good fares. For BA Tier Point runners, VCE to BKK via DOH is a very nice way to pick up 560 TP.
