Best strategy for one-way-travelling?
Hi,
I would like to get a one-way-ticket to Bangkok, as I will stay there for a while. I have seen that tickets for a roundtrip are cheaper than a one-way-ticket, so I thought about getting a ticket for a roundtrip and just not to use the return-ticket. What do you think, could that be an appropriate solution? Or is there any other possibility to get a one-way-ticket that is cheapter than a roundtrip-ticket? -STEFFEN- |

What do you think, could that be an appropriate solution? Or is there any other possibility to get a one-way-ticket that is cheapter than a roundtrip-ticket?" When you're talking about flights between continents, one-ways are almost always more expensive than round-trips (the reasons for this are complex, but the basic idea is that round-trip tickets are often deeply discounted while one-way tickets almost never are). Bangkok is one of the world's major airline hubs, and the high level of competition keeps prices way down. It has reasonably-priced flights to the major European cities, and dirt-cheap flights to other parts of Asia, so if you need to buy a ticket there it's no problem. See if you can get a round-trip ticket with an adjustable return date, which will almost certainly be cheaper than buying separate one-way tickets. If you can't, then just buy the cheapest round-trip you can find, don't use the return part, then buy a cheap return ticket in Bangkok when you want to come back. |

Whatever kind of visa you have, you'll almost certainly have to leave Thailand after 3 months to go somewhere. Chris |
