Star Alliance carrier Singapore Airlines rarely sells discounted tickets for its premium products. Their current sale for tickets to Bangkok is a nice change of pace in that regard. With a stop in Singapore, you can reach Thailand’s capital from Amsterdam. Lounge access at all airports, 40 kg of checked bags and top-notch are service included. Even better – the fare shows availability deep into 2021.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
Our availability calendar shows all flight dates at the lowest fare for trips up to four weeks. If you select an out- and inbound flight date, it will forward you to Singapore Airlines, where the cheapest tickets are available.
The flight between Amsterdam and Singapore feature brand-new Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Their business class cabin is a formidable experience, as our review of this product will show. The two-hour flight to Bangkok is operated by wide-body planes with a proper business cabin, as well.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, tickets with this attractive price tag are on sale until February 21, 2021. You need to stay at last five days in Bangkok to get the cheapest price. Availabilities are fairly good in March & April. And – more importantly – in September, October and November 2021.
You can use our availability calendar to find suiting flight dates in late 2021. If you are looking for a longer trip or want to check out March and April flight dates, we recommend Google Flights. Since the cheapest tickets are available on Singapore Airline’s website, it’s a no-brainer to buy them there, as you get various other advantages on top.
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.

Information & Tips for Thailand
Thailand is an increasingly popular holiday destination for Europeans – both beach and party tourists get their money’s worth in the South Asian tropical state.
Whether Bangkok, Koh Samui or Phuket, Thailand offers multi-faceted cities and quiet beaches. Also, the country is always easy to reach from Europe. Especially to Bangkok, there is almost always at least a good deal!
Best Time to Visit
While hot summer temperatures prevail the whole year long in tropical Thailand, the best travel time is definitely the winter from November to February. Thanks to the northwest monsoon it doesn’t get warmer than 33 degrees. In summer the temperatures can quickly reach 40 degrees. The rainy season also starts in June and will last until October – high humidity is what you’ll have to prepare for!
Entry & Visa
Most EU citizens do not need a visa for stays up to a length of 30 days. The entry permit can be extended by another 30 days before expiration by local immigration authorities.
Currency
The national currency of Thailand is the Baht (THB) which is divided into Satang. One Euro is about 40 THB.

Ist der Transit erlaubt? Und im Falle einer Umbuchung (“kostenlos”…) fällt ja sicher dann die Tarifdifferenz an. Das können schnell mehrere Tausend Euro sein
Hi Peter!
Derzeit ist der Transit erlaubt (https://www.singaporeair.com/saar5/pdf/media-centre/210202TableforCitiesApprovedforTransit.pdf), das kann sich bis zum Herbst aber ändern. Mit dem Hinweis auf die Tarifdifferenz hast du recht. Nach dem Motto “Mal schauen, was geht…” sollte man diesen Flug nicht buchen.
