hi, why pay for an Elite if you can qualify being over 50 & have the funds. Surely the 1900 baht a year is a better option if you qualify?

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! 😓

You can use skyscanner and normally the airline is in the list of providers anyway but slightly more expensive. I just went through an agent on skyscanner with Emirates and no issues coming out! (Touch wood thkugh as last time I was here KLM cancelled my return 2 hrs before check in 🙈... been stuck in worse places though lol)

Think you've only got 2 viable options unless you got money to burn! KLM via Amsterdam paid as little as £340 in April 22 but they are silly prices at min. Going with Emirates tomorrow via Dubai for just under £900 nothing else came close and well over a grand. Flight prices just horrendous at min but I'd rather go from Brum rather than making the trek to LHR 🥲

Yes i will, i only started yesterday and haven't got very far as needed her passport, ID card... i am putting work as home address as they sell street food! I think if your stable and can support and provide return ticket shouldn't be a problem! Hey... who knows though! They can only say yes or no so worth the effort applying!

You've opened yourself right up to the trolls here mate. Amongst the abuse, you may get a few sensible replies. I too have just started the Visa application for my GF who doesn't have direct into bank salary as is paid cash and rents her house. I'll let you know how it goes! (Put your thick skin on.... you may need it, here come the keyboard warriors lol)
