Cheap flights from Las Palmas to Bangkok

The expensive stretch runs around Christmas and New Year and again through the summer school holidays, when long-haul seats are scarcer and fares climb. Work back from there to November, when fares on this route tend to be lowest, sitting between the autumn and winter peaks. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking well ahead of the high season helps; the month-by-month price calendar shows dated fares for each month so you can compare weeks directly.

Thai Airways Intl, the destination country's carrier, is the natural starting point among the ten names on this route, followed by Air Europa, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Scandinavian Airlines and Turkish Airlines as full-service options, plus Vueling Airlines, Iberia Express and Air Europa express at the low-cost end. All are connections rather than nonstops. The low-cost names usually price bags and seats apart from the base fare, so add those before comparing totals.

Sort your arrival airport before you book, because Bangkok's two gateways, Suvarnabhumi International and Don Mueang International, are not interchangeable on the ground. Suvarnabhumi International handles most long-haul and full-service traffic and links to the centre by rail, taxi and bus; Don Mueang International is where many low-cost carriers base themselves. The two airports sit on opposite sides of the city, so a transfer between them eats hours; confirm which one your ticket names and plan onward travel around it. Both are reached from the centre by road and rail, with heavier traffic at peak times.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your itinerary is one ticket or separate tickets, because a missed connection on separate tickets is your own problem.
• Confirm which Bangkok airport each leg uses, since Suvarnabhumi International and Don Mueang International are far apart.
• Check baggage rules on any low-cost leg, as checked bags and cabin size can be charged separately.
• Sort your Thai entry documents before travel, since requirements depend on nationality and length of stay.
• Leave a generous connection window on this multi-leg route in case of delays.
