Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) - BKK to VCE (or Delhi to VCE) business class

I am trying to find a decent deal to go BKK to VCE in business

for the past 2 years I was able to get turkish airlines for about 85k-90k bhat ($2700 more or less)

but it seems this year prices are up

anyone has any advice or idea where to look in BKK

I could also fly from Delhi

any help appreciated
Thank you so much!

Welcome to FT!
Did you check Swiss (LX) and Austrian (OS)?
Usually one of these has a very good price and connections to VCE with more or less the same timing as LH.
This year I have been twice to BKK for business, and once for a short vacation- my fares were:
LX 1900 EUR
OS 1950 EUR
LH 2400 EUR
All business flights.

Although the three airlines are part of the same group, you can sometimes find really good deals on one vs. another. FWIW, I think Austrian (OS) is most comfortable on this route in Business.

If you are not stuck on star alliance, look at CX (Cathay Pacific) via HKG to Malpensa (MXP)- they are just launching non-stop service HKG/MXP and as a result have some very good through fares. From Malpensa you can take the train to the city, and take the train to Venezia (First Class fare on the train Milano Centrale-Venezia S. Lucia should be 40 EUR or less if you book in advance on the fast train 2hr40min(look for EuroCity trains designated with ES or labelled Frecia Bianca) which can be booked online at trenitalia.com or simply buy at the station (a little bit more expensive than an advance booking).

Hey TRAVELSIG

Thanks for the tip, I did use Austrian before, I didn't really like them too much, plus I didn't enjoy the stop in zurich it's a busy airport. although price might justify

It seems turkish air prices are up this year, I really enjoyed the flight, very comfy and the stop in instabul is pleasant.

Thanks again I will lookl online and offline for some deals

Hi stefinasia, if you fly Austrian you should end up connecting through Vienna which is a pleasant and quite small airport with very fast flight connections.
