TLV PEK 1299
Tel Aviv – Bangkok for €1,298 in Swiss Business Class

The availability is excellent starting in November and all through to June 202. Most routes will even show cheap business class seats over Xmas and New Year’s Eve.

Your trip will always include at least one layover. Depending on the carrier you choose this could be Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich. From there, the airline will fly you to Asia. So technically, you will first fly west from Tel Aviv before traveling east. Also, Swiss will operate an Airbus A330 on the route between Zurich and Tel Aviv, which means that you will benefit from lie-flat seats. Lufthansa, on the other hand, will offer a standard European economy class.

Check out these two reviews to get a better idea of what the Lufthansa and Swiss business class products are like:

Get to Tel Aviv

Connections flights to Tel Aviv are available from many European airports, sometimes at prices starting as low as €32 (Ryanair). If one of the mentioned destinations sounds interesting, it is definitely worth checking for feeder flights from your nearest airport. Readers living in the area Nice or Paris might be able to combine this offer with Swiss’s cheap business class flight to Tel Aviv.

Even if all flights are routed via Germany or Switzerland, you can not just start your journey there. Read our article of skipping segments to find out more:

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, tickets should be available until November 22nd. The offer is valid for trips commencing on or after November 1st and on or before June 30th, 2020. As already mentioned, availability is excellent. At least as of now.

The minimum stay requirements are 3 days. And you can spend up to 3 months at your favorite destination before returning to Europe if you want to benefit from this fare.

It is easy to find all available connections by using Google Flights (instructions) or the Landing Page at Swiss.com. There are so many cheap seats available that this offer should match any schedule. Once you’ve settled for a specific date, just visit one of the carrier’s websites for booking.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

All tickets will be issued in booking class P. Depending on the airline, and for frequent flyer programs, the earning rate can vary widely. Here’s what a trip with Swiss to Beijing via Zurich will earn you:

  • 16,748 Miles on Singapore KrisFlyer
  • 13,398 Award Miles + 2,680 PQP on United MileagePlus
  • 13,398 Miles on Air Canada Aeroplan
  • 13,398 Miles on Aegean Miles+Bonus

  • 13,398 Miles on EVA Infinity MileageLands
  • 13,398 Award Miles on LATAM Pass

    Would it be possible to book from Tel Aviv but start the flight from FRA as this is the changing hub?

      Hi Paul! Sadly, this is not possible. If you miss a single flight segment, all following flight segments will be voided.
