Thailand

Going to Thailand at the end of January 2010, looking at airfare right now the best deal i found is around $1150 return from Vancouver , should i book now or later and hope for a better deal ?

I have no idea of flights out of Vancouver, flew into Vancouver a couple times years ago chasing some tail.

It's hard to tell really. I guess you need to gauge your risk level and how good it would be saving a $100, or how bad it would suck that you spend $100 more. Last minute for me hasn't really worked out, and for the little bit of potential savings, it's simply not worth it to me anymore.

Which airline?

With tax, that's a pretty good deal. The cheapest I've ever seen tickets were for $1000, with a limit of 4 weeks stay during August about 1.5 years ago.

I bought my ticket with British Airways for Dec for 1300 including taxes, and still think that's a good deal.

$1118 With AC

Been to Thailand and SE Asia a couple of times, that is a great price. Jump on it!

Was this booked directly through the air canada website? A return flight would cost me ~$1700 using the website.

I plan on heading to Bangkok mid January and need to find a cheaper flight.

Where are you starting from?? From YEG (Edmonton) I got $1300 all in picking Jan 25 out and Feb 8th return, so op's $1118 from Vancouver is similar! Good deal!

I would buy it. The price could go up or down a bit but the sooner you buy the better choice of seats you will have. You will have to transit through either Hong Kong or Narita. I prefer HKG but the connection and arrival time to BKK are better through NRT. You will connect with United, ANA or Thai for the segment into BKK. I would try to get ANA or Thai. I have never flown with united but they use old planes there. Thai uses old 747s but I like the food and it gets you into a Thai mood.

Consider flying to Hong Kong, spend 3 days, ferry to Macau for another couple of days and take a cheap flight from there. Sort of like Ryan Air, Air Asia, or who ever else is doing discount flights. Makes for an interesting adventure. Good luck

It"s on the website, but you have to book by oct 28th . So i guess I'll have to book it for that price.
