Currently, June is the cheapest month in which you can book a flight to Bangkok (average of $782). Flying to Bangkok in December will prove the most costly (average of $1,150). There are multiple factors that influence the price of a flight so comparing airlines, departure airports and times can help keep costs down.
Peak season
Anyone booking cheap flights to Bangkok for the first time will find Thailand’s capital bustling, mesmerising and slightly overwhelming. From November to March is peak season when the weather is tropical and balmy and temperatures average in the late 20Cs; perfect for sightseeing The Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and the Emerald Buddha. Most people search flight tickets within this cooler period, so book your flights to Bangkok early for the best savings. Events and festivals throughout the year can also cause a price hike for flights to Bangkok.
Off Season
March to May is Bangkok’s off season when most people avoid flights to Bangkok as it’s typically unbearably hot and humid. If you hate the heat then it’s best to give these months a miss. The Songkran Festival in April can cool down Bangkok’s hottest month with its water fights but you’ll need to book flight tickets and accommodation early, as there will be a huge influx of visitors.

Cons: The inflight entertainment was not as good as I expected. To the extent there wasn’t anything that I wanted to watch as I’d seen the only 2 films that I wanted to watch in my previous long haul leg. TV series were severely lacking in choice as was the latest movies.
