Bangkok, Thailand: €480 Lufthansa Group Flights from Paris (€560 with Checked Luggage)

Star Alliance carriers Austrian Airlines and SWISS offer a cavalcade of attractive roundtrip fares from Paris to Bangkok starting at €480. If you wish to check your luggage, you will have to pay an extra €40 each way.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa or Austrian with your selected flight dates.

We have two different availability calendars: Iata-Code CDG for short layovers when flying back from Bangkok, and PAR with long layovers, offering more dates but up to 7-hour layovers in Vienna.

In this case, you first fly with Swiss on the Airbus A220 operated by Air Baltic with a 2-3-3 configuration to connect with your flight to Bangkok on a Swiss Boeing 777 with a 3-4-3 configuration. On the inbound flight, you will fly back to Europe in an Austrian Boeing 777 with a 3-4-3 configuration, and your flight to Paris will be on an Austrian Airbus A320 with a 3-3 configuration.

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

Your flights will be issued in booking class L. There are some significant differences regarding how many miles you’ll earn, depending on whether you fly with Swiss or Austrian.

With Swiss, in each direction, you would earn:

With Austrian, each way gets you:

In short, if you collect miles at SAS Eurobonus, Ethiopian ShebaMiles, EgyptAir Plus, or EVA Infinity MileageLands, you’ll have to fly with SWISS to earn miles.
