Cheap flights in Thailand
The budget airlines sector (low cost carriers = LCC) in Thailand continues to grow. In 2004, Nok Air and Thai AirAsia started with cheap flights, but today the traveler in Thailand is spoiled with the offer of Lion Air, Thai Smile, Air Asia, Jetstar, Vietjet and NokScoot.
Reader question: Experience with the Eurostar and Heathrow Airport?
For me it is time again to book new flights to Thailand. I have compared several flights from the airports of Brussels, Amsterdam, London and Paris. Since the flights from Brussels are very disadvantageous this time (bad flight times or expensive fares), I plan to fly from Schiphol (Qatar Airways) or Heathrow (Thai – almost 300 euros pp cheaper than from Brussels – or Qatar Airways). My question is: who has experience with the Eurostar, the transfer from London to Heathrow and Heathrow airport? What are those experiences like?

I intend to go to Bangkok for the first time for 3 weeks at the end of September to visit my girlfriend there (she has already been here twice, she also has family in the Netherlands). Subsequently, I want to travel back to the Netherlands with her and let her stay in the Netherlands for another 3 months.
The offers of cheap tickets are flying around you left and right. But there is only talk of a flight to Bangkok. What about the other way around, from Bangkok to Amsterdam?
I am a big fan of Thailand. In March 2015 I am going to Bangkok for a few days. My plan is to fly to Manila afterwards.
