help with bkk routing?
Greetings -
I am looking at getting married at Angkor Wat this summer. We are running into some issues though with ticket pricing and scheduling. We need four tickets.
Could someone give me some tips for getting to BKK on August 2nd? I am cool with flying an ULCC to a departure hub if that is better. Normally I fly out of DEN, but that seems absurd (2000 for coach).
Thanks!
EDTI: This needs to be on delta.

Quick search brought this up for me flying into HAN which you can then catch a dirt cheap flight to BKK from HAN and its flying out of HAN aug 13 (not sure if thats long enough but seems there are much cheaper tickets than you found

As a reference I got a delta coded flight out of dab into sgn and out of bkk to dab for $700 in november, so id say play around with different cities and dates because it seems that you can easily find a cheap ticket, especially out of big city like DEN

Thanks!
I found out we have to leave the fourth and come back the 16th. It is a wedding trip for just us. Originally we were going in July with some killer fares but circumstances caused some issues.
Let me check this this out and see what I can do. Thanks again, I appreciate the tips.

I suggest checking out China Airlines (CI) for LAX-TPE-Phnom Penh. I saw about $1400 rt with one way being premium economy. The connection in Taipei is very convenient and you will get some skymiles out of the trip. Check the Delta website for more skymiles info. EVA works also, but you will get no skymiles.

ITA Matrix finds 2-segment DEN-PNH with 9-11 day stays from $1,187 on United and ANA in early August. Three segments can get you China Southern, China Eastern, or Delta tickets (among others).

Any particular reason you are heading to Bangkok to get to Angkor Wat? I know flying into Bangkok from the US you end up in a different airport than you would use to fly to Siem Reap. Have you looked for flights itineraries that would get you to Siem Reap? Perhaps another hop off point to Cambodia would be cheaper.
