Bro
Where u book yr ticket? If book from Singaporeair.com is $450 leh.

Re: thai baht rate update
 

SQ's premium fare with catch of 2 to go (for better pricing). RT1099 got deep pockets :p

You will be surprised with what you can get on regular airlines (TG, CX and Swiss Air) for non peak periods. Range from 260-360 incl taxes. So differential (I've done it at lower range) from budget is not a bridge too far to cross -with trade offs eg better choice schedule, seat allocation (save for Jetstar), aerobridge (instead of bus for AirAsia), leg room, makan. For Dec period from boxing day departure and return Jan1 is nett 368 on TG, CX 376 (today on Zuji.com, may vary later). Kns, must make up my mind before the hordes come in.

Re: thai baht rate update
 

Thats means I got it at a bargain ah? Little comfort to me bro still forking out extra. You want I PM you the travel agency.....KNN after I booked the travel agent still tell me to pay upfront 1st if not price going to increase & she cannot guarrantee seats. Now I want to push forward 1 day change date to 5th also cannot she say my ticket special price (ya rite more expensive) ticket cannot change departure date WTF!!! :mad:

Re: thai baht rate update
 

Ya lor bro my pockets bottomless one coz got holes! :D

I also find come peak periods those budget airlines charge almost the same as regular airlines even. Trick is book early especially so for budget but the airlines outsmart you too coz got blackout dates. I travelling on the 6th they still charging me extra CCB....now I want to travel even earlier to avoid the crowd also cannot :mad:

Re: thai baht rate update
 

IC, but normally these tickets timing is not too good. Probably the evening flight only... Tried it once, but fly ard 6pm. Cost ard 360sgd.

Re: thai baht rate update
 

No need bro, just abit curious only. Thanks anyway.;)

Re: thai baht rate update
 

So far getting my kicks from the influx of all too many thai imports.:D

Still, should make a trip soon for some partying.:)

Re: thai baht rate update
 

No point in booking early if schedule not fixed 3 months in advance.
My last trip I told myself not to take anymore Jetstar, but bo bian, its the only one with early morning flight. And it has the best timing to come back at 7plus evening, can late checkout from room.

Thai airways have morning flight, but early noon fly back.
Cathay have early noon flight, ticket price almost same same as jetstar.
SQ peak period very expensive and either can go early return early or go later return later.
Swiss air go late flight and actually waste 1 extra night of room stay.

Re: thai baht rate update
 

Yes I guess sometimes it cant be help. I remember b4 there were budget airlines, many airlines were plying the SIN-BKK route daily, airlines like Finnair, KLM, Qantas, Biman, China Airlines, Royal Nepal (they had morning flights out of SIN which were a rarity as it was dominated by TG & SQ) & Air India which had the earliest flight out of BKK at 6.50am!!! The choices were mind boggling.....now it seems we have less to choose from :(

They might be following the Thai pricing model: When demand drops, increase price to make-up for loss of profit. :P
