A return ticket to Bangkok for 125 euros?
De Telegraaf contains an article about AirAsia, which is also entering the European market. This means that the rise of price breakers and cheap airline tickets will also have a global follow-up after Europe. The Asian AirAsia will fly dirt cheap return flights between Europe and Australia this fall.
For example, this week a return flight from London to Melbourne, Australia, costs only 180 euros, including all airport taxes and other costs.
The major airlines believe that low-cost flying will remain a regional phenomenon. But in the meantime, AirAsia - which has recently ordered a large number of new aircraft - is trying to break open the tourist market between Europe and Asia.
After London, the low-cost airline also wants to fly to other European cities such as Rome, Paris and possibly Amsterdam as well. From there there are flights to Kuala Lumpur, Perth and Melbourne, among others.
The ongoing promotion for flights in October and November, which is still ongoing today, already caused a run on the AirAsia website yesterday, which went down as a result.

Unfortunately, there is nothing yet about a flight to Bangkok, but it is not inconceivable that this is also one of the options. Given the pricing of a flight to Australia, a return ticket to Bangkok should not cost more than €125. That is good news for fervent Thailand visitors. But maybe we're cheering too soon, let's wait and see first.
On the one hand, I would be happy if ticket prices dropped, it would save a lot of money. But on the other hand, I'm afraid that the "sodom and gomorra" people will see Thailand as their new vacation spot. I'm always very annoyed by people who clearly haven't opened a holiday booklet or looked up anything about Thailand, and show very little respect for Thai culture.
that's VERY known - as soon as AA announces any action (yes - I get all those emails from them - just happened to have had 6 flights here in the region with them in the last 4 weeks) - then their site goes down!
And THOSE prizes you can shake - that's really only for 1 spot in the chest on 1 day that nobody wants. If you just try, AA is only a few tens below the low price of the well-known airlines that do low prices. And you still have to go to LSN=Stansted AND you have to pay extra for luggage, food etc.
very interesting all but I want to book and of course preferably for that 125.
