TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around suggestions for airlines to fly to Thailand during the Christmas season and the associated costs. Community members shared their experiences with various airlines such as EVA Air, Thai Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways, with recommendations to check platforms like Skyscanner for competitive prices. It was noted that prices are generally high during Christmas, often exceeding £1000 for direct flights. Some users urged caution about booking through unreliable sources, advocating for reputable airlines instead.

I've just booked and must have tried every combination available and TBH the best option from Bham was Emirates again at £1400!

The exact same flight I took last Dec with KLM paying £550 last year was £2700 yesterday! Absolute rip off! 😓
