Cheapest Airfare to Bangkok from SFO?

Question

I live in San Francisco. Looking for cheapest airfare to Bangkok (or Phuket). So far the cheapest is Expedia (little over $1700). I tried SideStep (too expensive), as well as China Airlines (site doens't work well).

Answer 1

Hello,

China Airline is the best bet for you. I know their website sucks, but they have promotion right now. You can fly round trip for just over $1000. Please check on that...

Answer 4

Yahoo Travel shows China Airlines as your best price- $1331 r/t from SFO to BKK.

It depends on your travel dates- I found a r/t flight on Asiana Airlines in December for just $1084!

Answer 5

Eva air. i live 30 miles from sfo and i have been to Thailand 10 times ( my wife is Thai ) . she left last week and her ticket was $1,100 round trip. Eva has been the cheapest for the last 3 years for the trips we have took. sign up for their mileage plan before you buy a ticket so you get the miles.

Answer 6

Try Cathay Pacific, they have fares from SFO to BKK for about $1,380 total and for a little over $1,000 after Sept.1, plus they're a great airline. You might want to call or keep trying China Airlines too, they're usually the cheapest on the SFO-BKK route. If the fares are comparable, I really recommend Cathay Pacific over China Airlines, much better in-flight entertainment and going through the Hong Kong Airport is a lot nicer than through Taipei. You don't say when you want to fly, but fares are a lot higher before and after the Olympics which start 8-8-08, if you're looking to fly during that period $1,700 isn't bad.

Answer 7

I heard about this website compete4yourseat.com. You enter your information and travel agents come in and provide you offers.  Maybe someone has unused or leftover seats and can give you a better rate.

Answer 8

Try Orbitz... The price of fuel and the airport tax at BKK are a significant part of the cost.  About 30% of the ticket price is fuel surcharge and airport tax.

I tried a couple websites, and didn't see anything significantly cheaper.
