Cheap flights from Madeira to Bangkok

Book several weeks ahead, and earlier for December and school-holiday dates, because connecting itineraries on this route have fewer seats than a nonstop market. December is the cheapest month among the listed fares, but it still overlaps Christmas and New Year, so flexible dates help. February and March usually feel calmer than December and July, while January can carry holiday return demand. Weekday departures are often easier to price than weekend ones, and shifting by a day or two can matter as much as changing the month.

Fares on this route can look similar while including very different things, so check baggage, seat selection, meals and change rules before you compare totals. The listed airlines are Easyjet, TAP Portugal, BA EuroFlyer, Finnair, Lufthansa, Transavia Airlines, Austrian, Etihad Airways, British Airways and Condor, and every itinerary connects, so a low European fare can be paired with a long-haul fare that has its own rules. Low-cost and full-service names both appear in that list, and the same carrier can sell different fare families on the same route. If one ticket combines separate bookings, the connection is not protected and the cheaper leg may carry the stricter baggage limit.

Arriving late in the day changes the practical side of Bangkok more than the fare, because airport rail, bus and taxi choices thin out as the evening goes on. You may land at Suvarnabhumi International or Don Mueang International, and the two airports are on different sides of the city, so check which airport your ticket names before you choose a hotel or onward transfer. Both have transport into the centre, but a late arrival can mean a longer wait or a pricier transfer, and immigration queues can add time after a long connecting flight. Keep the airport name, terminal and arrival time together when you plan the first night.

• Make sure the airport and terminal on your Madeira departure match your connection plan.
• Compare December dates against nearby days, because the cheapest month still includes holiday peaks.
