Cheap Flights Thailand
Flights > Cheap Flights - More in this category > Thailand AirlinesCheap flights to Thailand have become more readily available in recent years as the prices of flights have come down. Thailand has been promoted as a holiday destination, and its increasing popularity with tourists have meant that more airlines service the country. It is usually cheaper to book through a travel agent than direct with the airline. Travel agents can advise on what cheap flights are available, any discounts and special deals that airlines are offering, and any last-minute cancellations.

Peak season tends to be July, August and December so try and avoid these times. Indirect flights are cheaper than non-stop ones and can be as little as four hours longer. Flights from the UK to Thailand stop over in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. If the stopover is longer than a few hours, some airlines will offer a night's accommodation and meals.
Some agents specialize in budget tickets or tickets for young people and give discounts for under 26-year-olds or students. If planning a long trip to different destinations round-the-world then it can be worth buying round-the-world tickets as these usually work out cheaper than buying each single flight individually. However flights from Asia are much cheaper than buying flights in the West, so it depends what your plans are.
Buying flight tickets online can also save money. Websites selling flights usually allow you to compare prices to find the cheapest ones. Some allow you to check availability and book online as well. Paying by credit or debit card over the Net is recognized as being much safer now with secure servers and encryption making it harder for people to steal your card details. Check that the website offers secure payment. Sometimes there are cheap flights and special offers advertised in newspapers. Buying flights over the phone is usually cheaper because the agents or airlines do not have to pay overheads on premises.
Chartered flights are usually cheaper than scheduled ones. Tour operators lease the whole flight and sell them as part of a package holiday to popular tourist destinations. The packages usually include flights and accommodation and can include transfers from the airport to the hotel and air travel tax. If you are planning to go to popular holiday destination, this option is worth looking into.
Usually the key to getting cheap flights to Thailand is to be flexible. This is easier for people who have more time - stopover flights may not be suitable for someone who only has a week off work. Also if you have specific dates in mind which you have to stick to, it may mean you can't take advantage of cheap last-minute deals. A good place to look for last-minute flights is on Teletext, the television service.
