Cheap Airfare

[Guest]

Just booked my first trip to Thailand. Should be incredible. Flying out of San Francisco in early September, returning approximately one week later. Flying Eva airlines. Avoided China airlines (safety record is questionable) and picked a flight that accommodated my schedule so paid a little more - - about $1,200. Used Vayama.com and was disappointed to learn from speaking w/ phone a representative that I didn't get the "bulkhead" seat I selected on-line (yes, too good to be true). Fortunately, she was able to get me in a window seat at least. Glad I called and double checked. 18 hours total on way out and about 17 on way back.

$1,200...
I paid $820 all in from LAX to BKK with a stop in Taiwan on EVA coach in Nov 06. I didn't know prices were that much higher in the summer.

Actually, it's Cathay Pacific. (Mixed up the carrier.) There are cheaper flights out there if you're flexible. For example, I passed up a $980 flight on China Airlines that takes longer and returns at somewhat of an odd hour. To me, the $200 is worth sleeping in late on my last day in Bangkok, eliminating at least 6 hours off my travel time, plus their safety record is questionable at best.

I recommend Eva, especially if you are in the Evergreen Club. They will take some of your accumulated mileage credit and give you lower fares. IN the 600's in September

I just booked EVA coach from LAX to BKK from 8/30 to 9/11...$878 after taxes.

Look on the Eva web site under Hot Deals and there are plenty of cheap flights there...taxes are a bitch though. I like to use Eva miles on Continental as Continental gets me free flights pretty fast, especially to Brazil and Colombia.

Nice to know. I'm planning on going to El Salvador after this trip to LOS. No LBs there, but I hear it's great for GGs.

what airline? EVA

[kahuna]

If it's the EVA promo...total is about $660 usd...you have to me a member of their Everegreen Club and give up 10k air miles to get the promo pricing...but you'll probably make about 16k air miles from the trip so still a great deal...

If I could go now it would be great, no more vacation But I do prefer delux with my fat ass.

took advantage of a similiar offer from eva 6 weeks
ago, $700.00 total incl taxes , + 7500 miles, then another 10k miles to upgrade to deluxe/elite, they do
offer these quite frequently to their club members, I leave 10/24, returning 11/10, unusual, I think to be able to upgrade from a discount fare, and u will still earn the iles as Kahuna says
