Once you know what visa type you need when traveling to Thailand, now it’s the time to find out the cheapest flight ticket flying to Thailand. Here’s the key point you should keep in mind.
If you fly from Thailand to Germany, for example, one comparison website lists a roundtrip flight from Bangkok to Frankfurt that is 30% less than the next best offer with a brief layover both ways. Pretty much unbeatable. The catch? The deal was listed as “only available at travel agents.”
In this case, “travel agent” meant Expedia. As it turns out, Expedia is trying to gain more market share by offering discounts of up to 30% on flights to and from Thailand as well as Thai domestic flights.
Other flight comparison websites don’t list the Expedia fares in order to avoid sending business to their competitor. These discounts are not only available for traditional airlines, but also low cost choices like Air Asia because Expedia Thailand is partially owned by Air Asia.
Alternatively, you can use Google Flights to find a good deal. Lately, many deals also come from Agoda.
For domestic flight, you can book a ticket at Traveloka. The price shown on the price comparison page is a net price, including fuel surcharge, airport taxes, and credit card surcharge. Also, you do not need to worry about accidentally adding unnecessary options, such as travel insurance, during the checkout process.
Also, price displayed on Traveloka is like the official airline sites, sometimes even lower. This makes it becoming a popular choice to a lot of local people.
If there’s not a flight deal available during your search, go to Going.com. It is a great tool that immediately sends you an email notification with instructions on how to book a flight ticket every time a deal is available: either from airline’s mistakes or sales campaign. And these deals mean a roundtrip ticket from USA to Bangkok at less than $800 USD, which is over 60% discount of the average full price.
