Cheap flights from Florence to Bangkok

February is the cheapest month in the dated fares. The calendar also lists January, March and April, plus October, November, December and June, so the year spans ordinary travel months and peak holiday periods. Start with midweek departures and connections with sensible transfer times, then compare how many stops each option needs. School holidays, Christmas and the destination's summer are the periods to watch, so book earlier for those dates and keep a backup airport in mind. If you travel in February, check both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, because the cheaper connection may arrive at either.

Vueling Airlines is the budget-style name on the list, so it is the one to scrutinise for bag and seat fees. The other carriers named are BA CityFlyer, Air Serbia, Iberia, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, ITA Airways, Swiss and Air Dolomiti, and their fares usually vary by connection, cabin and ticket rules. Airlines that sell through their own networks generally bundle more into the fare than a low-cost ticket, but the named ticket type is what decides baggage, meals and changes. Compare the full price after adding the extras you need, then choose the connection you are happiest to transit.

You may land at Suvarnabhumi International or Don Mueang International, both outside central Bangkok and on different sides of the city. Suvarnabhumi International is the larger airport and has a rail link into central areas, while Don Mueang International is usually reached by road or rail. Check the airport code on your itinerary before booking onward transport, because the two airports are not interchangeable. A hotel or transfer planned for one can turn into a long cross-town journey if your flight uses the other.

• Confirm which Bangkok airport is named on your ticket before you book hotels or transfers.
• Compare the connection time and airport at the transfer point, not only the total journey time.
• Check passport validity and Thailand entry requirements for your nationality before paying.
• Look at February first, then compare January, March and April if your dates are flexible.
• Keep an eye on December and June dates, since holiday and summer travel can fill the cheaper connections.
