A rare deal by Singapore Airlines: you can fly to Thailand for only €419 with the Star Alliance airline when departing from Milan. While €419 is a price that other airlines also tend to offer – this deal stands out as Singapore Airlines will let you bring 30 kg of checked luggage on your trip.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
Our availability calendar shows you all possible flight dates for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Singapore Airlines’ website with preselected flight dates.
You would first fly 12 hours from Milan to Singapore on an A350, before then flying to Bangkok or Phuket on different aircraft. Not only do Singapore Airlines’ seats have power sockets, so that all of your devices can remain charged during these long flights, but they also offer quite a generous legroom.
Search & Book
This deal expires on December 24, 2021, so you have to be rather quick. Your flight has to leave Milan before August 30, 2022. Your trip also has to be at least 7 days long and may not exceed 2 months.
You can find all available dates on Google Flights, or even simpler, by using our calendar above, which will redirect you to Singapore Airlines’ booking site.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Information & Tips for Bangkok
Bangkok is both the capital and the largest metropolis of Southeast Asian Thailand. We often have reasonable offers to share with you. No matter if in Economy, Business or First Class – you can almost always find bargains for flights to Bangkok! Also, even luxurious 5-star hotels are available at excellent prices. Just some reasons why you shouldn’t miss Bangkok!
From the airport to the city center
Suvarnabhumi Airport is connected to the city center by train. Trains run between 06:00 and 23:59 approximately every 15 minutes and the journey takes 24 minutes. A taxi ride costs about 400 Baht and takes, depending on the traffic, 30 minutes to more than an hour.
