How y'all can afford to fly to Thailand from the States? Before covid, I used to fly Business class on my limited income. Nowadays, I can't even afford economy or cattle class! Today lowest price for an Economy Seat from east coast to BKK is $2,500 for the period around and post Christmas! DANG!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users express frustration over the high cost of flights to Thailand, particularly around the Christmas season, with prices often peaking at around $2,500 for economy seats. The discussion reveals common strategies for cheaper flights such as booking in advance, avoiding high season travel, and monitoring prices through various tools. Travelers share averaging costs from different locations, noting that early bookings or traveling on less popular days can significantly reduce expenses.

I have seen flights in that time frame for under $600 from the west coast. So maybe take a little vacay in sunny Hollywood and then fly from there.

Make sure you have a VPN installed on your phone or computer. They charge more if they know you're booking from a "wealthy " country.

@Rich ***********
i donā€™t think this is true, Changing currency charged for the fare can affect price based on what fare regional OTAs are offering and your currency against the local currency exchange rate, but connection location does nothing, if anything it makes you appear more like a ā€œbotā€ that itā€™ll show you higher prices. You can click around different currencies/locations in the flight aggregator sites like google/skyscanner themselves without using a VPN to get the result. In my experience I usually find the cheapest fares on Danish, Chinese, Australian regions. Actually thereā€™s an app that does just this by searching flight aggregators across currencies called Twistr. Give it a try

The key is booking as far in advance as you can and like many have stated the price in high season is expensive just because they can.

I flew to Thailand on Thanksgiving day some years ago. cost less and the best part there was many empty seats so I could stretch out across the middle section of seats. I also got extra meals and 2 colas free. Fly on Christmas day if you can.

Problem is you are picking prime time to travel to Thailand. Not only is it the holiday season it is also the best time of year to visit the Kingdom.

Use Google Flights and set up an alert to send you an email when prices are down. I have mine set up to fly to the US from Phuket and sometimes get alerts for around 25,000b, around $800, I think.

There are less flights and a lot of codesharing making the planes busy. It keeps demand high therefore prices high.

During Covid a lot flights routes between Asia and Europe and also to North America were eliminated. These routes have been partially restored but not closed. As a result there is limited capacity.
Marty *********
I think I paid $1,800 round trip Bangkok-Hartford last June so $2,500 at peak high season sounds about right. I flew west, 1 stop in Korea.

My round trip plane ticket and 30 days in a hotel was a little over 2k.

Flights to Thailand round trip full service rarely cost over $900 Round trip (from LA for me at least). Try finding a hidden city ticket by flying to another Asian city and getting a smaller flight to Thailand if itā€™s not available

but if you save $1500 by flying a month earlier, you just gained $1500 for on the ground expenses. Those monies are what make a trip memorable, not your flight.
Lynn ***********
Don't fly high season. Save money as much you can to fund your trip. And travel within budget.
Jason ********
Points. Booked BC on SQ for 73k air Canada miles transferred from Chase plus about 60 bucks cash. Have to take a positioning flight to ewr to catch my flight. and that cost 140. Have spend one night in hotel overnight since morning departure. Used a free night cert from Marriott for that.
William ******
@Jason *******
Credit card points get you to spend where you donā€™t need to. Itā€™s the biggest scam ever, in my opinion. You think youā€™re getting a good deal but in reality theyā€™re profiting off your credit card swipes and breakage from points accumulation. Cash prices rarely fall far from points deals nowadays too
Jason ********
@William *****
most people in points game know how to play correctly and rarely if ever carry a balance nor spend unnecessary. Plus the discounts and credits for using the right cards on the right purchases actually make us money. Plus itā€™s much safer than using a debit card and we donā€™t pay swipe fees. Idc about interchange fees or the cost to the banks which just recoup it off the poors. I avg 8-20% back or more on just my daily/monthly spend on bills, insurance, taxes, utilities, food etc. plus double dip using Rakuten and other shopping portals. Hell I have to buy 2 phones this week and will pick up
*****
points and miles on that alone.
Jason ********
@William *****
I get 4.5-10 cpp on my redemptions. Sq bc going cash price around 4k or so. Using 73k air Canada miles. FC coming back on JAL cost 110k miles. Cash price is around 7500.

Total out of pocket for me less than 100 bucks.
Jason ********
Also if your credit doesnā€™t suck youā€™ll earn enough points from your monthly spend and sign up bonuses to never have to pay for plane tickets again. Double if you have a business even a very small one.
Naly ******
RT from Anchorage Alaska to BKK $1800 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ went in May-June
Aaron *******
Book your flights to BKK from Chicago or Houston, usually $800 - $1000 round trip, due Eva Air and other airlines matching. Book your flight to Chicago or Houston separately, for me from ATL usually around $200 or less RT. Newark used to be cheap also.
Kayla ********
You can also set up flight alerts for last minute flights. Sometimes they are very cheap I paid 200$ one way from Hawaii on a ticket 2 days out.
Anita ********
@Kayla *******
how do you do that? Do you have to do it for every airline or what?
Kayla ********
@Anita *******
I use google flights for the most part. I downloaded an app called hopper as well but google flights always seems to be better.
William ******
@Anita *******
You can track your specific dates and origin/destination thru Googleā€™s flight aggregator (flights.google.com) and click ā€œTrack pricesā€ switch to get notified when thereā€™s changes
Braulio *********
Fly Business Class on JAL. Good food and comfortable seats and bedding.
John *********
It used to hurt, but my wife told me to stop complaining. Now life is good. We do round trip from near Chicago to BKK. To Thailand in mid-October and return after Songkran. We fly premium plus for about $3000 each. I found premium plus is more comfortable for me than business class.
Bruce ********
Iā€™m flying from Washington DC to Bangkok roundtrip for around $12-1500 via Emirates. Iā€™ve flown Business the previous few times but need to save money. The best roundtrip rate I got was a decent $6800
Vince **********
You have to check everyday and donā€™t hesitate when you see a good price. They can change daily. Sometimes a flight next day is cheaper than next week.
Morris *****
January to May and September to mid November are usually the cheapest, you can find one-way tickets for low as $450.

The key is sometimes you need to book 2 one-way tickets instead of 1 round-trip ticket. It comes out cheaper half the time.

Prices have certainly gone up a lot. It doesnt make sense because the covid excuse is gone and all airlines are running at profitable margins. Singapore Air went up by 36% from South Africa to Phuket in the last year. Thats tracking it over the whole year .
Vonn ********
@Leon *******
Prices went up because they notice people leaving the u.s. and not coming back, lol

Too bad you have no brain and flew business class. People with limited income should not be flying business class. Common sense. Now you got no money? Lmao. Hilarious

is flying from Milwaukee cheaper than flying from Chicago? $2500 is around the cheapest average price. Iā€™ve seen on any airline flying from Chicago ORD to BKK.

@Christian **********
my last ticket a month ago was $680 from Madison a month ago , still here in Isaan
Christian ***********
@Travis *********
what airline and did you price economy plus as well? I am large and tall so economy on any flight would be very uncomfortable and for a long flight would be almost unreasonable. Iā€™m trying to figure out the best way to fly round-trip for three weeks at the end of April or end of December. Iā€™ve looked at a bunch of airlines and the search continuesā€¦
Travis **********
@Christian **********
itā€™s uncomfortable for me at 5ā€™10 also but itā€™s well worth the savings to me, Iā€™m cheap Charlie when it comes to flights
Christian ***********
@Travis *********
Iā€™m 6ā€™2ā€ 320 so economy would be a painfully tight squeeze and my knees would be digging into the seat back in front of me. economy plus or better is a must for me for any international flights. Itā€™s the main reason I havenā€™t made the trip already. Business class runs around $5K USD.
Willem ****
Christmas was always expensive. Avoid it if you are not willing to pay for it. A few weeks before or after are easy 50% cheaper
Sam *********
2500 USD isn't a lot of money...Also try not to fly during high season, wait until prices drop off again around February if you're hurting for funds.
Micah ********
It's the Christmas spike. Normal prices can be found 1,200-1,500 round trip if not in peak season and enough advance. Christmas/NYE prices are absolutely absurd.
Mike *****
@Micah *******
Same with hotel prices.

Some dbl, some even triple.

Couple of things:

1) $2,500 for round trip, obviously. I am not retired yet and have to come back. 555. Objective of the trip to scour the area before full time relocation. Although I don't live in the NYC metropolitan area, but I added it to my search since NY has the cheapest flights just because of competition being served by every major airline ( domestic and foreign)

2) I have been keeping an eye on the price since August 24 as it is recommended that you pre-book months in advance to secure the cheapest fare. Price has not changed since then. My only filtering criteria is one stop only , and no Air India. 555

agree. 1 stop only. first time was from LA to BKK via hong Kong... never again lol!. next was from Philly to Boston, then Istanbul to bkk... both times less than $1500... and last time one way only with bus ticket to Cambodia if needed... works for me. good luck.

@Randy *****
Some airlines, if you book direct with them, like Qatar, give you a free hotel for your layover. I go from London to BK via Doha with Qatar for about Ā£700

I do that all the time. Ams, cdg and fco are best. We just snagged 2 x business class Cathay Pacific, Amsterdam to Bangkok rtn 1800 euros each.

@Stephen *******
Qatar Airways are lovely and you can go London to BKK for about Ā£700 return.
Stephen ********
@Kate ******
I'm not sure where you are, or where you book from? But when I just searched Qatar, the cheapest I can find is over 1500 return to phuket.
Adam ********
@Stephen *******
itā€™s about booking 3-5 months early.

Jan-March 23 Ā£693

August 2weeks 23 Ā£605

Jan-March 24 Ā£605

All with Qatar

But I fly mid week as about Ā£100 cheaper for a return.

If you book now for December or January itā€™s about Ā£1500
Kate *******
@Stephen *******
go to BKK instead and then get a cheap internal flight to Phuket, you will probably find it works out a lot cheaper. Have a night or two in Bangkok even, make something of it.
Erik *******
@Kate ******
There is no more cheap internal flights BKK to HKT. They are almost all fully booked . Crazy . The whole planet is pouring into Thailand. I guess you have to enjoy the highways for tourists ā€¦
Stephen ********
@Kate ******
sorry, that flight cost was to Bangkok
Dave *******
@Kate ******
if your open to dates . That is
Kyle **********
@Stephen *******
London much cheaper than the rest of the UK for flights. I'm in Thailand 3-4times a year so have to budget abit, usually fly to Milan and then from there as it saves me a few hundred but just very long.
Dave *******
@Kyle *********
landing fees thats why London is cheaper
Peter **********
@Stephen *******
because they can fill the planes at that cost
Stephen ********
@Peter *********
you mean the higher cost eastern flights are in such demand they can get 300% more profit than a flight to LA?
