Tips for Finding Flight Deals
Looking for a cheap flight to Bangkok? Here’s something to keep in mind:
Depart and return on a Tuesday. According to this article from HuffPost, you can save an average of $115 on flights to Thailand by arriving and leaving on a Tuesday.
Check out international airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, Japan Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines, which often offer flights for affordable prices.
Fly to Bangkok in late April, the beginning of May, and late September, as these are the low tourist seasons. Avoid the crowds and high prices of the busy season, which is from November to March.
Depart from airports with a higher volume of flights to Asia. For example, in the USA, LAX and JFK have more flights to Asia than all other cities in the USA. So you may find a cheaper flight by heading there first, then flying to Bangkok.
Be flexible with your dates and even flexible enough to depart from a different airport can allow you to find great savings.
Try widening your search to include flights from other airports and also look at other airlines. Also, do not always assume that the booking site is offering you the best deal. They may not have access to the small budget airlines’ databases which means that they might not be showing you the lowest fares available. So, if you see a flight you want to try checking the same flight directly on the airline’s site and see if you can save by cutting out the middleman.
