    Cheap flights to Bangkok from Hong kong, shenzhen or Macau

    I want to travel to Bangkok for a weekend trip and I am looking for a cheap flight over there. Does anyone know of a good airline to use or a company that has good packages that include hotel accomadations?

    Bangkok

    Hi

    Flying from Shenzen and/or Macau using airasia isn't that much cheaper, and too much of a hassle. Don't forget to factor in the fares to and fro Hong Kong.

    Go to most of the travel agents they can quote you a price for packages, ranging from $1700 upwards (depending on the hotel you choose), includes air fare and accommodation. Problem is, most of these packages need 2 to travel. If you go alone, there is a ridiculous premium!

    I'm going to Bangkok from 15 Sept to 17 Sept, and unfortunately I've made my flight bookings. I found this from a magazine:

    You can try ticket.hk,
    http://ticket.hk/index.php?lang=eng

    They have a wide range of cheap tickets for various airlines and hotel packages for one person as well. Cheapest they quoted was Hong Kong Airways $820 return + taxes, but it was full. If you book early, maybe you can still get the tickets.

    There is no difference in price if you take the hotel separately. I'll be booking my hotels online, which gives you a better rate, try

    sawadee.com

    Downside is they need $500 deposit booking when you go there. Its refundable if you don't get the flights that you want, and the money is used to offset the final price. And they only take cash/atm transfer, as they charge a 3% commission on credit cards.

    Hope this helps!

    any hotel you get with a package will be more expensive than a room you can find by yourself when you get to bkk.

    just take the government bus from the airport to the Kao San road/Ratchadamnoen area. You can find hotels in all ranges on either side of Ratchadamnoen Road and on Kao San Road.

    Is ticket.hk related to Edmond Travel?

    If so watch out. He tried to cheat me by talking me into another Hotrel pretending the one I wanted was full because his online rate was too cheap. I got the hotel I wanted through another agent for a little higher price.
