How to get a cheap flight from Manchester to Bangkok?
Flights with multiple stops or longer layovers are usually cheaper. If you're willing to hang around in an airport for a while - and it's not really a chore to loiter in Singapore or Dubai airport! - you can get a much cheaper deal.
Time of year is also a factor in flight prices. Peak season for Thailand is November to February, and flights are most expensive at this time. The cheapest time to fly to Thailand is in the rainy season, from May to October.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
November to February is cool season in Bangkok, after the monsoons, which makes it a great time to visit. Hot season runs from March to June, and rainy season from July to October. In terms of price, December is peak time in Bangkok, so it’s often the most expensive month to visit. On the flip side, August is often the cheapest time to book a trip.

How do I get into Bangkok from Bangkok Airport?
You’ll arrive on the second floor of Bangkok Airport. To take a taxi into the city centre, head to gates 4 and 7 on the first floor. To get the Airport Rail Link, head to the basement instead – you can get into the centre of Bangkok this way - and it’s a much cheaper option.
Do I need a visa to travel to Bangkok?
No – if you’re a British passport holder, you can enter Thailand for 30 days without a visa. It’s known as a visa exemption.
Airport Information
Flying from Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport has three passenger terminals, and you can walk between each one easily. There’s a skylink connecting Terminals 1 and 2, which are about a 15-minute walk away from each other, and a covered walkway between Terminals 1 and 3, which are only five minutes apart.

British Airways flights set off from Terminal 3, and there are Travelex UK currency exchange services in all three airport terminals if you want to convert your currency before you fly.
Landing in Bangkok Airport
Bangkok Airport has three terminals in the same building – terminals 1 and 2 for international flights, and a third for domestic flights only. Unlike lots of airports where you’ve got miles to walk between terminals, Bangkok Airport has its international terminals right next to each other, so getting between them is nice and quick. Even the domestic terminal is only 500 metres away from Terminal 2. If you’re flying from Manchester, you’ll land in Terminal 1 or 2. Arrivals are on the second floor, and there are plenty of airport lounges and even a pretty airport garden. You’ll find ATM machines and currency exchange services on levels 2, 3 and 4 of the airport, as well as the basement.
