Thread: Going to BKK from LHR in late April

Igna,
Simplistically BKK is normally very heavily loaded but there are odd periods when the flights will be quite open over 2 or 3 consecutive days but its difficult to know when these days are.
At the moment the flights look fine but its early days .. also we stop our service to MEL at the end of March ( we've surrendered YET another route to Qantas supposedly in the name of the JSA ) which could affect the loads to BKK ( having to connect there onto QF ).

All--

I've done NRSA to/from BKK many times and never been left behind.. that being said, it can be very hot or cold within the same week.. If I suspect that I'm going to have trouble getting out in the morning (I travel from BKK back to west coast USA, so all my departures are early AM from BKK) I look at these options (in order of my personal preference):
1) Get a SIN-BKK late evening flt the day before and get out of asia via SIN.. lots of discount carriers ply that route so it may be cheaper than an ID and you're a rev. pax., or 2) Explore alternate departure points for my return USA bound trip such as TPE/HKG/ICN/KIX/NGO/PVG/PEK.. All these points have non-stop AM flights out of BKK and can connect with a USA bound departure.

For accom in Bangkok, try the Amari chain of hotels. They've always had good airline rates in the past whenever I've been through there and needed something.
There's usually even very decent prices as specials on most of the bigger groups properties websites in Bangkok for much of the time as well.
