I'm not an amateur and this IS a hot deal. Show me a cheaper DIRECT flight LHR to BKK. The point is that some of us prefer or want to fly DIRECT as opposed to via stopovers. Qatar are a great airline but Doha is frankly, in my experience, a poor stopover. I've never been so bored. The duty free took all of 5 minutes to walk around and the food was worse than a dodgy backstreet knock off KFC...

Now have to make sure the wife doesn't book this....BTW she's Thai so that should go someway to show that I do know what I'm talking about...

With all the deals coming out of secret flying recently (£177 return just last week to KUL) this isn't s deal. In actual fact id say £400 is the going rate.

A good price for a direct flight .

£400 isn't the going rate for a direct flight and the secret flying deal has expired.

Where did my comment go?

The point I was making is that every week flights to E/SE Asia are coming up. I just looked on Skyscanner and returns in Nov are coming up £280 with China Eastern, £303 with Qatar... What you've posted isn't a deal, it's actually expensive. No other month this year is more than £340 return.

£480 direct with BA

The cheapest I could find for my dates with BA was £700 plus. Where did you find it for £480 dazco

If £400 isn't a great price then maybe you can point us to a cheaper direct flight with a comparable airline? Personally wouldn't touch a Chinese airline with a very long barge pole, and am happy to pay a reasonable premium for a direct flight that is likely to be 4 - 6 hrs quicker in each direction.
