CHEAP FLIGHT THAILAND

Since the open sky policy of the former government

started to materialize cheap flights in Thailand had a real boom. Before it was only Thai international, now there are many other airlines offering cheap flight Thailand.

Check the internet for cheap flights in Thailand from Air Asia, Thai Orient / One Two Go, PB Air, Bangkok Air, Siem Riep Air (that is the Cambodian branch of Bangkok Air) and naturally Thai International. The newcomers like Air Asia, Thai Orient / One Two Go, PB Air, Bangkok Air and others turned the heat on Thai International - the State carrier - who had a comfortable monopoly with a lot of corruption going on inside the company, the current Prime Minister Mr. Thaksin did a good job to gave some pushes for liberalization for the airline market and that led to cheap flights in Thailand.

On the other side, most of the newcomers who offer cheap flights in Thailand, maybe 

except Bangkok Airways -which is managed quite good - has a lot of problems in particular, timing. They try to squeeze as many trips as possible into the available hours to squeeze the most of the profit out of their cheap flights in Thailand , also cutting turnaround time at the airports to half hour -particular Air Asia- and naturally by afternoon almost every day they already accumulate  2-3 hours delay which due to the tight schedule cant be compensated.

So be aware if you use those airlines, cheap flights in Thailand also have their negative side. You might sit around for hours somewhere. Since they are also very reluctant in taking back your cheap flight Thailand ticket if the aircraft wont start or even change the ticket to a other flight of the same company, your holiday can easily turn into a nightmare. They are a little bit cheaper than Thai International but time is also money, since most of Thai people take time not very serious it might work with them.

A other problem with this cheap flights Thailand is, that their office at the airports is small and permanent understaffed, so even to get you any information or cheap flight Thailand ticket is already a problem. On top of it the qualification of this staff is under the average, most of them lack even the most basic organization skills, they simply don't know what they are doing.

Some of the new cheap flight Thailand airlines have small sales counter at lotus shopping malls.

I used this cheap flight Thailand stuff for a while, but its not worth it to run from one disaster into the next just because of saving maybe 200 or 300 baht.
 

Cheap Thailand Vacation Travel Packages versus Independent Budget Travel

When traveling on a budget, one of the most often asked questions is whether it is best to travel independently, reserving your own airfare, hotel stay and sightseeing reservations, or choose a package tour where everything is set up for you in advance.

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. It is largely dependent on the location you have selected and dates of travel. For instance, travel to European destinations are often less costly to book on your own, especially when the airlines are running specials of European airfares in the off-season.

On the other hand, travel to many exotic locations, like Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, South Africa, Thailand, and India, are often much less expensive when booked through a vacation package company or travel agent. That is because these tour operators often have special deals with the national airlines of these companies, and with very nice resort hotels, to provide considerable discounts in exchange for a steady flow of business.

For instance, with a little bit of shopping, you can book a vacation package from New York to Egypt for a grand total of $1,100, including airfare, an excellent hotel, daily breakfast, airport transfers, and daily sightseeing tours, including guided tours of the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. This is far less than you would have paid if you had booked this trip independently.

Similar deals exist for other locations, notably India, China, and Taiwan. So be sure to check on the availability of these package deals when shopping for a budget travel deal.

Of course, some great deals can be had on your own as well, and this is often a great way to go, especially if you are a solo traveler. Solo travelers often have difficulty getting those great deals on package deals, since the required single supplement can often ruin the deal.

It is also important to find out exactly what is, and what is not included, in any package you are considering. Many package deals have optional excursions built in, and these extras can add considerable cost. Be sure to ask for a detailed daily itinerary to determine if you will be left on your own if you fail to take these optional. Also ask for a detailed list of these optional excursions, including full descriptions and prices, and then carefully compare the total price to what you could find on your own.

If you are traveling on your own, be sure to start shopping early, especially if you are traveling by air. The important thing to remember is that airlines allocate only so many seats for those advertised low fares, and if you fail to act quickly, you may be out of luck. It is important to book the airfare, and the hotel, as early as possible to ensure the lowest possible prices.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to choose a vacation package deal or independent travel is up to each individual traveler. It is important to carefully compare package prices with those for independent travel to the same location. It is also important to consider your own personal travel style. Some people are more comfortable with a packaged tour, particularly to an unfamiliar location, while others relish the freedom from schedules that independent travel provides.
