Star Alliance members SWISS and Austrian Airlines currently sell discounted premium economy tickets from Stockholm to Bangkok. With a change of planes in either Vienna or Zurich in each direction, you can fly to Thailand’s capital for as little as SEK 9,012 (~€770). Two checked bags up to 23kg are included in this fare, as well as more space on the long-hauls from Europa to Southeast Asia.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa or Swiss with your selected flight dates.
You will be seated in economy class during the flights from Sweden to Austria. Both Swiss and Austrian deploy a Boeing 777 on flights between their hubs and Bangkok. Both airlines use a 2-4-2 seating pattern in premium economy, compared to the 3-4-3 in economy class.
Search & Book
The fare rules don’t give away a sales or travel period for this deal. You have to stay at least eight nights in Thailand to get the lowest fare. You can find it for departures in August and September 2024, as well as in early 2025.
Google Flights helps you find additional flight dates or compare prices. As both airlines are members of the Lufthansa Group, booking through their website makes most sense, as that’s also the cheapest place to buy them.

Destination
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.
