Temples, street food & beaches beyond — flights to Bangkok reward patience
Bangkok (BKK, Suvarnabhumi) is the gateway to Southeast Asia, and while there are no nonstops from the US, the one-stop options create real competition. EVA Air, ANA, Korean Air, Asiana, and Qatar Airways all route through their hubs at great prices, and budget long-haul carrier Zipair offers a cheap connection via Tokyo. Patient deal-hunters regularly find roundtrips well under $800 from the West Coast — a steal for a 17-hour journey.
The rainy season (May through October) and shoulder months offer the lowest fares. Avoid the peak-cool, dry season of December-February when demand surges.
