Just be aware that with with two separate tickets, if there is a delay on the first sector MNL-BKK, THAI will have no legal obligation to assist you if you miss your subsequent flight BKK-DEL. If you had booked MNL-(BKK)-DEL on one ticket, then any delays at an intermediate point (BKK) would be the responsibility of the carrier ie hotel and mony for food etc.
Just so you know.....
Thank you both very much.
I had considered the risk of the two ticket issue; but they have a place in BKK, and the alternative would be more expensive, given the cost of a one-way or roundtrip between MNL and DEL via BKK. (They'll be accompanying people who have single tickets for MNL-BKK-DEL and if the flight is late into BKK, they'll all be in the same boat in terms of seeking alternatives.)
