Cheap flights from Glasgow to Bangkok

December and January tend to be the costly stretch, with Christmas and New Year pushing demand up, and July can price high once school holidays begin. October, November and February sit in between, while March is the cheapest month in the dated calendar shown. Midweek departures often fare better than weekends, and booking earlier helps for peak dates. Flexible dates are the real lever: shifting by a day or two can change the fare more than switching airline.

Easyjet is the only low-cost carrier named, so its headline fare is the one to compare against the full-service tickets from British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Finnair, Qatar Airways, Aer Lingus, Delta Air Lines and Emerald Airlines; BA CityFlyer is listed too. None of the listed airlines flies this route nonstop, so every option connects somewhere. Full-service tickets are more likely to include checked baggage and meals, while low-cost fares usually charge for both. Check what the basic fare includes before comparing totals, because seat choice, bags and meals can close the gap.

Arriving late changes the whole transfer: the Airport Rail Link and ordinary city buses thin out, and a taxi or pre-booked car becomes the simpler option. Suvarnabhumi International is the larger arrival point and Don Mueang International is the other; both sit well outside central Bangkok. Check which airport is named on your ticket before you head into town, because the two are on opposite sides of the city. From either, allow extra time if you land during rush hour, and keep some local currency for the first ride.

• Confirm the connecting airport and minimum connection time, since no flight on this route is nonstop.
• Weigh baggage rules on low-cost fares against included bags on full-service tickets.
• Check that the airport named is Glasgow International on departure and the correct Bangkok airport on arrival.

• Recheck fares for March versus December if your dates are flexible, since the cheapest month can shift.
