    You can use something like skyscanner.net to do a route search by days of the month (select Whole Month).

    I would however not recommend booking with many of those who advertise on Skyscanner. Use it as a research tool then book either direct with the airline or with a reputable travel agent.

    In general flights to SE. and E. Asia are expensive now. The region still hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic so schedules have been cut and the war in Ukraine has closed Russian airspace so airlines are having to take longer routings.

    If you can cope with the extra flying time and hassle you may get a better deal leaving from an EU airport to avoid the UK long haul passenger duty.

    In addition to Skyscanner, ITA Matrix is a very powerful tool to search varying dates and itineraries and has many variable options.  Search flights || ITA Matrix by Google (itasoftware.com)
