Skyteam member KLM offers discounted tickets to Bangkok from numerous U.K. airports, starting at €364 / £326 for a roundtrip starting from Birmingham. While these fares include boardservice, adding a checked bag up to 23kg for the entire trip increases the price by £60. All flights necessitate a layover in Amsterdam.
Further departure airports include Norwich, Inverness, Newcastle and Durham.
Flights between Britain and Amsterdam are operated by KLM’s Boeing 737 family aircraft or one of KLM Cityhopper’s Embraerjets. A mighty Boeing 777-300ER will carry passengers onwards to Bangkok.
Search & Book
These fares are primarily available in September 2019 with possible return dates in September and October 2019. They show up for weekday departures. You can find them either on Google Flights (instructions) or use the calender function on KLM.com. Since we couldn’t find cheaper offers than on KLM’s website, we recommend going this way.
This offer is valid until July 16, 2019, but will very likely be sold out earlier – especially from larger airports like London.
Mileage
Long haul segments to Bangkok are ticketed in discounted economy booking class X. As a result, this offer will generate no award mileage at all, aside from revenue based Flying Blue miles.
Information & Tips for Thailand
Thailand is an increasingly popular holiday destination for Europeans – both beach and party tourists get their money’s worth in the South Asian tropical state.
Whether Bangkok, Koh Samui or Phuket, Thailand offers multi-faceted cities and quiet beaches. Also, the country is always easy to reach from Europe. Especially to Bangkok, there is almost always at least a good deal!
Best Time to Visit
While hot summer temperatures prevail the whole year long in tropical Thailand, the best travel time is definitely the winter from November to February. Thanks to the northwest monsoon it doesn’t get warmer than 33 degrees. In summer the temperatures can quickly reach 40 degrees. The rainy season also starts in June and will last until October – high humidity is what you’ll have to prepare for!
Entry & Visa
Most EU citizens do not need a visa for stays up to a length of 30 days. The entry permit can be extended by another 30 days before expiration by local immigration authorities.
Currency
The national currency of Thailand is the Baht (THB) which is divided into Satang. One Euro is about 40 THB.
