Only until tomorrow, Star Alliance member Air China is selling very cheap flights from New York to Bangkok. While availability is always somewhat tricky to find with Air China, you can find quite a few dates for $399. Many other dates may cost about $50 more, which still would be a great price, considering the length of the trip. Also, it is fantastic that Air China allows you to bring along 2 pieces of luggage.
You would fly 14 hours on a Boeing 777 to Beijing, before then flying to Bangkok on an Airbus A321 for 5 hours. You will receive a hot meal and a light meal on the long flight, and another light meal on the short flight.
Search & Book
The fare rules state that this deal expires tomorrow (August 18, 2019), so you’ll have to be quick! The maximum stay is limited to 3 months, and you may not fly between September 26th and October 2nd, or after December 25th.
Sadly, Google Flights only displays the price when selecting specific dates, but not if you simply look at the calendar. This means that you’ll have to try around. Using the flexible dates option directly on airchina.com is also a good way to find available dates. You can then directly book there, or use our Travel-Dealz flight search, which will usually then also redirect you to Air China’s website.
Miles
The tickets are issued in booking class N, which won’t get you any miles at any program.
Information & Tips for Bangkok
Bangkok is known for its vibrant street life, cultural landmarks, and bustling markets. Key sights include the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the lively Khao San Road. The local currency is the Thai baht (THB), and while credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and large stores, cash is preferred for smaller vendors. The city is relatively affordable, with street food and public transport offering great value. Bangkok has a tropical climate, with hot and humid weather year-round, a rainy season from May to October, and cooler, more comfortable temperatures from November to February.
