Flights to Bangkok from London

Even though there are four different airlines competing for your custom on flights to Bangkok from London (the Taiwanese airline Eva and Australian national carrier Qantas supplement the de facto competition between British Airways and Thai Airways), you will have to pay considerably more for the privilege of flying direct to Bangkok. We would consider flying via Abu Dhabi to be a minor inconvenience, relative to the cost saving, and certainly don't think the British Airways in-flight experience is worth paying almost £100 more for than Eva Airways, especially as the latter has a 33 inch seat pitch, compared to British Airways' 31.

All Bangkok flights operate to the new Suvarnabhumi International airport (BKK). The above prices are all for flight departures from London Heathrow (LHR).

Bangkok flights from UK regional airports

Although there is extensive competition on flights from London to Bangkok, there are currently no direct flights to the Thai capital from any other British cities outside London, or from Ireland. However, despite this competition on London to Bangkok flights, most flights to Bangkok from UK regional airports will involve a connection via Dubai or a major European hub such as Amsterdam or Frankfurt.

Cheap flights to Bangkok with budget airlines

Although Bangkok might seem like an obvious destination for budget airline to offer cheap flights from the UK to Asia, we are not aware of any plans to launch such a route. The main reason is that there is already extensive competition between four different mainstream airlines on the London to Bangkok route. As we've saw with the demise of no-frills carrier Oasis Hong Kong in 2008, it is very difficult for a low-cost airline to compete in such a hostile environment, especially as the big boys can lower their fares at the drop of a hat. With fluctuating oil prices, and uncertainty over the economy, now really isn't the time to expect anyone to come out offering new routes to Bangkok.
