Flights to Thailand Feb 2011?

JPS29

Hi.

We are planning on getting married in Thailand next year in Feb but can't seem to find any details of flights. There are 2 adultss one 6yo child going from Man airport departing on the 12th feb for 3 weeks. Flexible with dates though. Is it a case that the flights aren't released yet or are we looking in the wrong places?

Cheers

I don't think the flights have been released yet.

Had a look on emirates.com and netflights.com and no prices available on either.

They're not released yet - planning to go ourselves a couple of weeks later than you. Flights will start booking about 11 months before, but we're planning on holding on for a few months to see if any good deals become available. I'm expecting £500+ pp but hoping to get them for £450:)

Thanks, at least I know I wasn't looking in the wrong places:D

Is it best doing like you say and waiting or are they normally cheaper the earlier you get them?

I wish I had a crystal ball and could answer that . If flights sell well, the earlier the better, if they have more availability than usual, a sale a few months before travel is likely. What I'm doing is waiting to see when/if fares get lower than £500 and then I'll pounce . If there's no sign of that happening by say Oct/Nov I'll book anyhow. HTH.

Another couple of months and they should be released.

Waiting to book from Christmas 2010 / New year 2011, normally about end of March / early April I find the right £££ flight for me.

JPS good luck for the wedding. Where about are you going to? (being nosey)

Hi Kaz

We have to go to bangkok for 5 days to have the wedding made legal at the emabassy, then we will prob go to krabi in a nice hotel there for the cermenony, stay at least 5 days here, get in some of phuket, then staying in a tree house community for a couple of nights, elephant treks etc, and anything else that pops into our heads More staying away from the hustle bustle, although we have to go bangkok initially, the idea is more to get in the wonderful views, beaches, temples etc

Well have a lovely time.
