Cheap flights from Aberdeen to Bangkok

Bangkok stays hot and humid whatever the month, and daylight barely shifts, so the main price drivers are school holidays, Christmas and New Year rather than the weather. February is the cheapest month in the dated fares, while October, November, December, January, March and May also have prices shown. December and January are likely to be busier around the holidays, and spring dates can be a calmer alternative if your plans allow. Book early for peak periods, and check both the outbound and return dates because a cheap fare one way can be offset by an expensive return.

Fares on this route are not all built the same: some include checked baggage, meals or seat choice, while others charge for those extras, and a cheap base fare can rise once bags are added. The named airlines are Aer Lingus, Loganair Limited, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Easyjet, British Airways and Wider; with no non-stop flights, you will change planes and possibly airlines, so check whether the whole journey is on one ticket and whether baggage is checked through.

You can land at either Suvarnabhumi International or Don Mueang International, and the airport named on your ticket shapes your first hour in Bangkok because they sit on different sides of the city. Both have taxis, buses and rail links into town, but traffic can be heavy at busy times, so allow a generous transfer window and confirm your terminal before arranging a meeting point. If your itinerary uses both airports, plan a cross-city transfer between them and do not treat them as the same place.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your whole journey is on one ticket or separate tickets, because a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem.
• Confirm which Bangkok airport you arrive at and whether your onward or return flight uses the same one.
• Check baggage rules for each airline, including cabin bag size and weight limits.
• Make sure your passport and any visa or entry documents for Thailand are valid for the whole trip.
• Compare the total cost after bags, seats and transfers, not just the headline fare.
