Cheap flights from Corfu to Bangkok

Bangkok stays hot and bright for much of the year, so the big swings on this route come from holiday calendars rather than from weather. December is the lowest-priced month among those with fares, even though it sits beside the winter holiday season. October, November, January, February, July and August are the other months with dated prices, and July and August overlap school holidays, which usually pushes fares up. Midweek departures can be easier to find than weekend ones, and booking early matters more in those peak weeks.

The difference a traveller feels first is what the fare includes and how many stops the journey needs. None of the eight airlines flies non-stop, so every itinerary has at least one connection and total travel time varies. Sky Express, Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines are Greek-based carriers; Condor, Edelweiss Air and Lufthansa are European network carriers; Easyjet is the low-cost name in the list; Delta Air Lines is the US carrier among them. Some tickets are stripped back and charge for bags, seats or meals, while others bundle more, so compare the full cost rather than the headline fare.

Suvarnabhumi International is the larger airport and handles most long-haul arrivals, so expect longer walks, bigger queues and more transport choices. Don Mueang International is smaller and is used more by regional and low-cost flights, which can mean a quicker exit but fewer onward options. Both sit well outside central Bangkok, with Suvarnabhumi to the east and Don Mueang to the north. The airport rail link, taxis and buses are the usual ways into town, and you should allow time for immigration and baggage reclaim at either airport.

• Confirm whether your ticket names Suvarnabhumi International or Don Mueang International before arranging transfers.
• Compare total journey time, including connections, rather than price alone.
