Thailand: €470 Economy, €877 Premium Economy with Singapore Airlines from Paris

Star Alliance member Singapore Airlines has issued incredibly good prices for their top-notch economy products. Flights from Paris to Bangkok with a stop in Singapore start at €470 in economy class and – if you’re interested in additional legroom and service – €876 in premium economy.

A checked bag of 30 kg (35 kg in PE) is included in this fare. It is available almost daily until November 2021. Even better, flights to Phuket are available in the same time frame, at the exact same prices, too.

Info

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.

Both offers show basically daily availability between April and November 30, 2021.

Singapore Airlines currently has a pretty decent sale going for French airports. Though Bangkok offers the most attractive prices, you can check out further destinations here (the page is in French). The travel period (April – November 2021) and sales period (until April 7, 2021) is the same.

Singapore Airlines currently plans to rotate Airbus A380-800 aircraft between Paris and Singapore. These birds feature a 2-4-2 seating in premium economy (in contrast to the 3-4-3 in regular economy) on the main deck. Flights between Singapore and Bangkok or Phuket are widebody services as well. These always happen in economy class, independent on your long-haul cabin.

Warning

We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.

According to the fare rules, this deal is available until April 7, 2021. The lowest fare applies to all trips with a minimum stay of seven days that leave Europe on November 30, 2021, or earlier. Your return to Europe may happen up to one year later. At time of writing, availability is excellent – with almost daily departures at the lowest fare during the entire travel period.

You can consult Google Flights to check out prices on specific flight dates (instructions). We recommend buying your tickets directly with Singapore Airlines.

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

Singapore Airlines issues economy tickets in booking class K. This is a heavily discounted economy booking class. Even the long travel distance to Bangkok doesn’t make up for that:

  • 3,832 Award Miles + 160 Points on Miles&More
