How to get the cheapest flight to Thailand

Logically, you'll find the cheapest flights to Thailand from May until October, which happily covers the school holidays. This does come at a price, however – the southwestern monsoon rolls in from mid-June and sticks around for the whole summer.

According to cheapflights.com.au, the cheapest flights to Thailand are usually found when departing on a Monday. The departure day with the highest cost is usually on a Friday.

Moreover, Thailand flights can be made cheaper if you choose a flight at noon. Booking a flight in the morning will likely mean higher prices.

Simply follow this, sometimes you can have the promotion of 40-50% discount.

Wonderful!!!

Hold on, this sounds perfect but it seems not always to be your case. We believe you want to see Thailand at its best or you cannot change the tight travel schedule date.

Is there any chance to have the cheap price during high-travel or even peak-travel period???

The answer is yes!!! And it just requires a little plan ahead and simple skills to do so.

First of all…

Although the climate varies throughout Thailand, you can visit the country all year round. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between mid-October and early April. 

In the south, the climate differs between the eastern and western coasts. The west coast is more favorable during the winter months, when diving and snorkeling will be at its best. 

The weather on the east coast is good for most of the year, with the lowest rainfall in January and February and the highest in November.

There’s no particular ideal time for booking cheap flights to Thailand but in general searching six to eight months in advance will give you the best deals on flight tickets. 

Tickets are often cheaper than at the last moment and not necessarily more advantageous if you book it 1 year in advance.

Avoid buying your plane tickets on weekends and during the day or evening. Privilege, the middle of the week and late at night. 

When buying tickets online you should also make sure to activate the incognito feature of your browser to avoid getting tracked and therefore experience higher prices. This is one of the 9 hacking tips below to book the cheap flight to Thailand (or anywhere)

"Searching for airfare can often feel like going into battle - one in which only those armed with a lot of time on their hands win" said Brooke Porter Katz from Medium

Many times, when we try to search the flight for our clients or friends, the price would increase when we refreshed the search page.

Based on the cookies in your browser, flight prices do increase when a particular route is repeatedly searched, as the site wants to scare you into booking the flight quickly before prices get even higher. 

To avoid this, don’t let the website read your cookies. And the best way to do so is to delete all the cookies every time you close your browser. If there are no cookies, there is nothing to read.

Here is how to delete your cookies with some popular web browsers: https://www.purevpn.com/blog/how-to-delete-cookies-at-browser-exit/

If you know when and where you're going, don't wait on an unknown sale. More often than not, your biggest savings come from booking far ahead when you can.

As mentioned above, it is better to book the ticket in advance, about 5-6 months before.

Budget airlines offer significantly cheaper tickets than their full-service counterparts. It should be obvious, but this comes with compromises such as less leg room and no “free” food/drink on-board (which by the way, is normally covered in your higher-priced ticket with full-service airlines).

NOTES ON BOOKING BUDGET AIRLINES.

Always read the fine print and do the following:

• Check where the airport location is (some budget airlines fly to airports further out of town).
• Ensure you've booked & paid for your luggage allowance. Adhere to restrictions on weight, height, and # of bags allowed. Some airlines (e.g. Ryanair) will charge hefty fee if you're over. Remember, paying only for the exact luggage space/weight you need is how budget airlines keep their prices lower than traditional airlines!
• Read the fine print. The best example is that Ryanair WILL CHARGE A FEE if you do not print your own ticket or adhere to their strict luggage weight and dimensions. A warning of this fee is clearly stated in all capital letters in the first sentence of your e-confirmation. In a nutshell, always read and follow instructions!

Remember, if you want to book the cheapest flight possible (not service-of-the-year-award-winner), be adaptable, do your research, and know the budget airline's requirements & restrictions.

Some website advises you to buy the round-trip ticket to save money for the way back home; some advises you to buy 2 one-way tickets separately even from different airlines and airports which may offer the promotion on both.

Our advice: do your research and find the best price for your travel plan. The booking engines now are very intelligent, it bases on the availability of the flight to set your price. 

Sometimes you can have the best price with a 2-way ticket; but the other times, you can enjoy the promotion on both 2 separate one-way tickets.

With a little effort, you can save 20-30% on your flight ticket. Is that worth a try?

Consider neighboring cities when selecting your departure as fares can vary quite a lot according to the airport: it might be worth the extra time even if it is not the closest airport to your home. 

Whether it be by choice or by obligation, stopovers allow you to move and forget the possible lack of comfort of the plane. It also represents a good opportunity to visit other cities without a mandatory visa through stopovers. 

When looking for indirect routes that include stopovers, we advise you to check the website kiwi.com which mixes and matches airlines in order to find the cheapest price. For long-haul flights especially, this can make a huge difference at the end.

Concerning the arrival airport, you will likely land in Bangkok as it services more airlines. It is something to keep in mind when crafting your tour itinerary.

The cheapest solution is to buy your plane ticket directly on the Internet and not at a physical travel agency available at your place to avoid extra costs.

Even with the online travel agencies, the price also varies among the different websites. So, our next tip is...

The online flight searching engines will help you compare the price offered by different suppliers.

Here are the 3 best price comparisons websites:

1. Skyscanner
2. Google Flight
3. Kayak

Do not forget to check the option: "flexible travel date" to find the best price for Thailand. This option will allow you to estimate the price month by month.

Airlines sometimes make mistakes when posting their fares, leading to seriously discounted flights. This can happen for various reasons – currency conversion mishaps, technical glitches, or human error. If you're in the know-how on where to find airline error fares, you can save yourself some serious bucks on a ticket.

Don’t be tempted to try a “hidden city” flight. That’s when you buy a connecting flight that goes through your desired destination and skip the final leg. Airlines keep track of travelers who do this and aren’t shy to ban folks. Plus, if you’ve booked it as a round trip, your return will automatically be canceled.

Below you will find the recommended flights from some of the popular countries to Thailand.

There are some airlines operating direct flight to Thailand including Qantas Airways, Thai Airways, Emirates and Jetstar Airways are among the airlines that offer direct flights.

The price starts from $600 to fly from New York or Washington DC to Bangkok with some of the popular airlines such as Fly Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, or Turkish Airlines.

That said, when comparing the ticket price, you should recheck if it is the full fare with all the services included. Usually, there are hidden costs such as handling fee, payment charges, travel insurance, luggage, choice of the seat or simply meals.

Keep in mind that each airline has its own policy and it is wise to check for instance the cancellation conditions and refund possibilities before buying your ticket.

Also check the total amount and do not hesitate to compare the different companies to find the ones that best meet your expectations. Believe us, you do not want to issue the ticket with the low-cost airlines with $50 cheaper then find out that the checked luggage is not included and you need to pay $70-100 for that.

• Thai Airways
• Bangkok Airways
• Fly Emirates
• Etihad Airlines
• Air France

Together with Vietnam, Thailand is the tourist hub in the area, hence it is very easy to find the flight to Thailand, especially to Bangkok from the big cities of the neighbor countries.

It is the fact that many tourists choose to first arrive in Bangkok before getting to other nearby countries. Moreover, Thailand has border with Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, there is also the options to get to Thailand or vice versa via bus or train from these countries.

Let’s check more detail below.

Most of the tourists will fly to Thailand first before taking another connecting flight to the other countries in the region including Cambodia. Hence, it is very convenient to get to Thailand from Cambodia via flights. Moreover, there are 6 international border checkpoints if you want to travel overland to Thailand.

Below is the maps to see the location of all 3 international airports and 6 border gates that help connect Cambodia and Thailand

By flight

Cambodia has 3 international airports, where you can find the flight to Thailand

From Cambodia to Bangkok

There are plenty of departures to Bangkok per day from 3 international airports of Cambodia.

From Phnom Penh, there are more than 15 departures per day operated by both Thai airlines (Bangkok Airways or Thai Airways), Cambodian airlines (Cambodia Airways or JC International), and some low-cost airlines (Thai AirAsia, Thai Smiles, or Lanmei Airlines). The flight will take roughly 1 hour and cost more than $100/ticket for full-services airlines (half price if you choose low-cost airlines).

It is quite the same story if you depart from Siem Reap. There are plenty of choice during the day. The flight duration and the price are quite the same compared with departing from Phnom Penh.

There is less departure to Bangkok from Sihanoukville with just more than 1 departure per day with the options of JC International or Thai AirAsia. If you choose the flight with Thai AirAsia, the price is about $50/ticket. If not, the price is double with JC International.

From Siem Reap, the story is the same with 3 departures per week with Thai AirAsia. The flight takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and costs about $90/ticket.

There is no direct flight to Phuket from Sihanoukville, so you can either take the transfer to Phnom Penh and join the flight there or take the transit flight via Bangkok.

From Cambodia to Chiang Mai

There is no direct flight from Cambodia to Chiang Mai. We need to take the transit flight from Bangkok to this tourist hub in northern Thailand.

There are more than 47 departure flight per day to Chiang Mai from Bangkok (both Don Muang - DMK and Suvarnabhumi – BKK), so it is very easy to find the suitable flight there

From Cambodia to Koh Samui

The same story as Chiang Mai, you need to take the transit flight in Bangkok to Koh Samui. The good news is that there are more than 20 departure per day from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Koh Samui (USM), hence it is not the difficult job to find the connection.

How to get the Visa to Thailand?

You can either apply for the visa on arrival, visa at the embassy, or E-Visa on arrival to Thailand. Read our article about Thailand Visa Policy for more detail.

How to get from the airport to city center?

Please find below the information at some popular airport in Thailand

Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok

The city is around 30km from the airport so it’s best to know how you’ll get there before you take your flights to Thailand. You can get the Airport Express service from level 1 of the airport. It will cost around 150 baht and is a great way of travel if you don’t mind a slightly crowded journey. Taxis are available from the same area outside of the airport but insist on getting a receipt and haggle for a price. The drivers are notorious at overcharging so make sure you agree on a price before you get in.

Phuket 

The easiest way is to jump on a bus from the airport and just hop off whenever you’ve reached your final destination.  The airport bus runs every hour from 06:30 until 21:30 and is a cheap method of travel. You can use metered taxis if you are in a rush or don’t want to wait for the bus, but these will cost a lot more. If there are a couple of you travelling, you can split the fare and make it more worthwhile. If you are a confident driver then you can rent a car from the airport. This is a great choice if you plan to drive around different parts of Thailand but if you’re just going to go to your hotel then it might be more of an inconvenience.
