Just to add there is no reason to actually stay in BKK if you don't want to. The fare does not require you have a minimum stay in BKK.
In terms of routing you can get there via HKG/SIN/KUL.

Along the same lines, AMS or VCE to BKK/SIN/HKG next year and I'm comparing QR and BA.
Prices always appear better on QR but when looking at the amount of avios back from each carrier BA have the edge, a big edge for a lowly blue.
A straight forward VCE-LHR-BKK return give about 42000 avios, but QR VCE-DOH-BKK return give 14500 avios, or have I got my sums wrong? This was from the BA avios calculator.
I know that TP's are more valuable to many, but not to me.

If TP's are your game (as these are what generate your status), then QR will get you 560 where as BA will only get you 360. So go with price given the avios difference is only about 5K.

Ahh I see. I'd still take the BA exAMS. You can get some great routings covering a lot of decent aircraft for not much more than £1250

I've also been trying Skyscanner after checking on ITA and a couple have a LHR - LGW airport change back to VCE. So BA ex VCE-LHR-SIN and return SIN-LHR/LGW-VCE and I'm sure I won't make the connection as its 3 hrs. I know its possible, but even without a wink I think its tight.

August-September is the worst time of the year in Bangkok: chances of heavy rain and flooding. Like others, I'd recommend flying off elsewhere from there.

Dublin flights
Just noticed on Premium Fares and a quick check of GF confirms that OW fares from Dublin are down to £1150 or so to East coast and slightly higher to West coast and Hawaii

Is there a similar thread for premium cabin flights originating in the US?

Thanks all - fully intend to spend a bit of time in BKK as I like cities but want to get back to SIN for a few days too!
can get a decent price to allow me to do AMS-LHR-SIN-BKK-LHR-AMS - would also like a few days in HKG but can't seem to get that, but above works well.
Thanks all.

Yes they do... I am currently in HKG (for 7 weeks) having flown out on this fare at the end of April... only spent three hours in BKK airport. I fly back to AMS via LHR middle of next month (i.e. my HKG stopover is on the return leg)

How do you quote this up? I tried looking via ba.com multi-city, but it fails (route not available).
