What are the options

When flying from the UK to Thailand, you’ve got plenty of options, each with its own pros and cons. Direct flights from London Heathrow to Bangkok are convenient and quick, typically lasting about 11 to 12 hours. Airlines like British Airways, Thai Airways, and EVA Air fly this route regularly, and while they’re often pricier, usually £500 to £800 return, they can save you considerable travel time.

If you’re willing to trade a few extra hours in the air for significant savings, one-stop flights are your best bet. Airlines such as Emirates (via Dubai), Qatar Airways (via Doha), and Etihad (via Abu Dhabi) provide comfortable connections, often costing as little as £350 return during sales.

Tips to save even more on your cheap Thailand flights

One overlooked trick for saving on Thailand flights is to book an open-jaw ticket—flying into one city like Bangkok and out of another such as Phuket or Chiang Mai.

This not only avoids backtracking but also unlocks more pricing combinations across different airlines, which can occasionally result in a lower overall fare than a standard return. It’s especially handy if you’re planning to travel around the country anyway.

Also worth checking are bundled flight-and-hotel packages from some providers. Even if you’re not interested in the hotel, the total price can sometimes undercut standalone flight costs, particularly during low season or when suppliers are offloading unsold inventory. Just be sure to read the fine print so you’re not tied to an inflexible itinerary.
