Cheap flights from Klaipeda/Palanga to Bangkok

January is the cheapest month in the price calendar, so start from the winter holiday period and school breaks and work back if your dates are flexible. Compare the months that are actually listed, from October through July, because the same connection can price very differently by week. If you must travel in December or around Christmas, book as early as you can and recheck the calendar before you pay. Midweek dates can be worth testing, since a connection through the same hub may cost less on a different day.

There are no direct flights on this route, so every option connects through at least one hub. The airlines listed include Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Air Baltic, Cityhopper, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Thai Airways Intl and Lufthansa. The practical difference is whether your ticket is one through-fare or separate segments, so compare baggage rules, meal inclusion, seat choice and rebooking terms before choosing the lowest fare. Check that baggage is checked through and that a missed connection is protected if segments are on different tickets.

Before you land, decide which Bangkok airport your ticket names and how you will reach your hotel, because Suvarnabhumi International and Don Mueang International are different gateways with different transport links. Suvarnabhumi is the main long-haul airport and sits east of the centre; Don Mueang is north of the centre and is often used by regional and low-cost traffic. Rail links, airport trains, taxis and buses are the usual ways into town, but the right choice depends on your arrival time and luggage. Allow extra time for immigration, baggage claim and the first transfer, and keep your hotel address in Thai or English for the driver.
