Checked the flights and its £530 to Bangkok, So not cheap at the moment, but will keep looking for opening offers
EK like to common rate their fares ex UK gateways...however yes look for occasional deals,I've noticed these little publicized deals in economy class from NCL and BHX .The ex London flights fill themselves more than the provincials .
London routes are more consistent in demand year round.There 'll probably be a budget for EK to promote the ex EDI route which will include some introductory fares to swing pax to fly EK .
