How to buy a cheap flight ticket to Bangkok
The peak tourist season in Thailand is just around the corner, so we decided to give you some tips in advance on how to find cheap flights to Bangkok on Kupi.com.
When is the best time to buy a flight ticket on Kupi.com to Bangkok and what price is considered low?
You can, of course, rely on your own budget, but it is best to rely on the average price for a flight with a layover. If you found a flight ticket to Bangkok cheaper than the average, you can safely buy it; if it’s more expensive, sometimes it’s worth waiting. During the peak tourist season, prices naturally rise. You can read why this happens in our article “Why does the flight ticket price change 10 times a day?”. Therefore, it’s important to know not only the average price but also the period of highest tourist demand for this destination. There are only two such periods in a year:
Late autumn holidays and school breaks in November.
New Year and Christmas holidays from mid-December to the end of January. The most expensive tickets for departures and arrivals are between late December and early January.
For example, if you book a flight with departure and arrival in October, the price will be even lower than the average. If we plan a trip for the November holidays, the minimum price is already significantly higher. The highest prices, according to statistics, are in January, precisely during the holiday period. Remember that the number of cheap tickets on each flight is limited. The cheaper the ticket, the fewer there are on each flight. If you start your search at least 6–8 weeks in advance, you will be able to buy a ticket on Kupi.com at a great rate; if you remember about them 2–3 weeks before, you are unlikely to find a low price. Although in the low demand season, for example, in September, you can find cheap tickets on Kupi.com even a few days before departure. Now let’s move on to the day of the week.
On which day of the week are flight tickets the cheapest?
It would be quicker to write which day they are the most expensive — Saturday. Therefore, do not plan your departures and arrivals on this day. During the week, prices are always lower, and the difference is usually quite noticeable for a round-trip ticket.
Which airlines offer the lowest prices for flights to Bangkok?
Most often, the lowest prices are offered by Etihad Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways. Naturally, their flights will have layovers. Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi, Emirates — in Dubai, Qatar Airways — in Doha. With each of these airlines, you can book a stopover and stay for a few days in the UAE or Qatar, or simply explore the city on your own, or even better, book a sightseeing tour.
