Bangkok Airfare

Bangkok, known as the Venice of the East, is one of the most cosmopolitan of South-East Asia, vibrant and modern city.

Thai Airways operates scheduled flights to almost all countries in the region. Tourists wishing to visit Thailand from the United States would be able to book their tickets through travel agents located in their city.

There are a variety of options available passenger flight to Bangkok. One of the easiest ways to book ticketsto visit the websites of different airlines. Most of these websites have provisions for entering details such as destination, number of passengers, start date and return date. Once the details are entered, which takes not more than five minutes, the traveler just has to click the "submit" button on the webpage. The cost of the ticket is displayed on the computer screen immediately. Information from different airlines can be gathered, prices compared and a decision made.

Some people prefer to consult a travel agent who takes all these steps on behalf of the passenger. Payments can be made online or through the travel agent.

When visiting Bangkok, it's advisable to visit nearby areas of tourist interest inside Thailand and, if possible, neighboring countries.

A round trip tour from New York to Bangkok and back can begin as low as USD 200. The affordability depends on the number of passengers, length of stay, whether economy or business class, whether normal fare or excursion fare, and so on. Most airlines also charge for the interim hotel accommodation, onward reservations, etc.

Imagine that someone leaves New York on March 1st for Bangkok and returns on March 8th. An airline may charge $740 per person for this flight ticket. (This quote is only illustrative.)

Some of the major world airlines that offer excellent discount tickets to Bangkok are Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, United Airlines, and China Airlines of Taiwan.
