So for 3 of us inC, I can save a whopping 3 x THB 5,000 = THB 15,000 or USD 430.
I never knew about this!
Between this tax and the extra 12.5% service tax on C/F tickets in India. The cost of flying from India to England will mean an extra 230 pounds on a round trip ticket! Ouch!
Ok so i need to get to Newcastle (UK) next month on TG what options do i have?? FRA? CDX? LHR is out now.
