More suggestions for finding cheap flights to Bangkok

Direct flights

Finding cheap flights to Bangkok is generally much easier than it is to almost any other city in Asia because there is so much competition on this route. Together with Singapore and Hong Kong, Bangkok is a popular stopping of points on the "kangaroo route" to Australia, with both British Airways and Qantas offering regular services. Additional options include national airline Thai Airways and the Taiwanese carrier Eva Air, who operate regular flights from London to Taipei via Bangkok. There have been various attempts to offer more budget oriented flights to Bangkok, but these have been less successful, partly due to poor management, but also simply because there is already healthy competition between the established network carriers.

Connecting flights

Despite extensive competition on flights from London Heathrow to Bangkok (Tokyo and Hong Kong are the only other cities in eastern Asia to have four airlines competing with each other on flights from London), there are currently no direct flights to Bangkok from any other UK airport. Several European airlines offer connecting flights via their respective hubs. Flights to Bangkok via the Middle East are also extremely popular. New Suvarnabhumi Airport The existing Don Muang airport in Bangkok, which is already one of the busiest in South-East Asia, is heavily congested, and unable to expand any further beyond its current boundaries. After local political wranglings, rising costs and seemingly endless construction delays, the new Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport is expected to open later this year. This brand new facility will include the largest enclosed terminal building in the world, thus ensuring that Thailand is well and truly keeping up with other major cities in the region. The new airport will have a potential capacity for over 100 million passengers per year and should give Bangkok a transfer facility which will rival hubs such as Singapore and Dubai, although whether or not this scheme will ever be a commercial success, especially in the country which gave us the term "white elephant", is a completely different story.
