cheap flights... Bangkok and Hong Kong?
Thailand is a great place to buy cheap air tickets. I used to live
there, for over a year. I found it to be a good base for traveling to other countries, near and far. Now I'm in Europe, and I'll soon be traveling to South Korea. Direct flights from here are astronomically expensive. For the same or less I can go to Bangkok first, where I can buy another ticket onward to Seoul. It would be great get in a visit to Thailand, although I've also have been wanting to see Hong Kong. How do air fares out of Hong Kong compare to those out of Bangkok? I mean, can I find similar cheap fares leaving from Hong Kong as I can from Bangkok? |

Tickets from Europe to Seoul shouldn't be much more than tickets from
Europe to Bangkok. I certainly don't think that it would pay to fly to Bangkok and then buy a round-trip to Seoul from there. Maybe you could get a discounted flight to Seoul on Thai Airways or Cathay Pacific that would allow you to stop over in Bangkok or Hong Kong, respectively. Where in Europe are you? If you want to see all three cities, you might get a better deal from a consolidator specializing in multiple destination flights. They also might be able to figure out a way for you to see the three cities without having to backtrack or pay for expensive one-way tickets. Try airtreks.com or trailfinders.co.uk. |

Maybe you could get a discounted flight to Seoul on Thai Airways or Cathay Pacific that would allow you to stop over in Bangkok or Hong Kong, respectively. Where in Europe are you? I visited travel agents yesterday. Tickets from Paris to Seoul are more than twice as expensive as tickets from Paris to Bangkok. In my experience, round trip tickets are the cheapest way to fly, even with unwanted backtracking. If that's the case, then definitely buy your ticket in Bangkok. Bangkok to Seoul with a stopover in HK. You should be able to get cheapr tickets in Bangkok than HK.

Okay, I did that. airtreks.com has a decent price for my itinerary, but it doesn't allow me to immediately buy it. Rather I have to submit it to a "travel counselor", who will supposedly get back to me. As for trailfinders.co.uk, the prices posted are more expensive than the travel agents I've visited in Paris. |
