Title: Flights
Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 15:27:37
This is kind of aimed at Flashheart but I am sure others might know.

Looking to book return flights to Bangkok in June from London. Possibly looking to upgrade to premium economy bearing in mind the length of the flight.

Any suggestions on airlines for such a flight? Are Eva Air any cop?

Sorry mate, can't help. I've not made that flight myself in years.

A long time ago now (2003), but I flew with Singapore Airlines when I went...with a stop over in Singapore on the way back.  They were very good.  (But the sterility and cleanliness of Singapore so soon after backpacking around the chaos of Bangkok and southern Thailand did my head in a little.)

Avoid Eva, terrible airline.  I've done it with the following

Emirates - pretty good and got some really good prices a few years ago
Thai - Good direct flight but dated planes now
Lufthansa - typical German efficiency
Kuwait - Best service ever, worst airport (a mosque and nescafe coffee machine)

I've also flown to asia with a few other airlines, not sure which have premium economy but finn air had some good deals from Helsinki recently for business class using some points

British Airways fly daily to Bangkok. Why don't you check them out?

Cheers all, will take a look. Looks like plenty of option available.

I flew there from Manila on philipino air or something. The only thing I remember about it was being served cheddar cheese ice cream. Weird.
