Finding cheap flights to Bangkok
Bangkok is the starting point for the Thai islands, Chiang Mai and the rest of South East Asia. Non-stop flights and plenty of one-stop routings are available.
Flights from UK airports to Bangkok
We book flights to Bangkok from London Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, London Gatwick and Edinburgh. Flying from your nearest airport can save the trip to London, and we compare it with London fares so you can see the difference.
Arriving in Bangkok
Long-haul flights land at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), east of the city. The Airport Rail Link reaches central Bangkok in about 30 minutes. Don Mueang (DMK), in the north, is mostly used by low-cost airlines for flights within Asia, so leave plenty of time if your onward flight goes from there.
Direct and one-stop flights
Thai Airways and EVA Air fly non-stop from Heathrow. One-stop fares through Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul are often cheaper and leave from Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh too. We can add a stopover in Dubai or Doha on the same ticket.
Baggage allowance
Long-haul economy fares to Bangkok usually include checked baggage. If you are flying on to the islands with a low-cost airline, its allowance may be smaller, so we will check both before you book.
Best time to fly to Bangkok
November to February is cool and dry, and the most popular time to visit. Christmas, New Year and Songkran in mid April are the busiest periods. May to October is the rainy season, with lower fares and fewer crowds.
Visas and entry
British passport holders can usually visit Thailand for a short holiday without a visa, but Thailand has changed its rules several times recently, including the length of stay allowed and online arrival forms. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.
Tips for booking
November to February is cool and dry. Add a few nights in Dubai or Doha on the way and we can price it as one ticket.
