FAQs - booking Thailand flights

  • What child seat laws do I need to be aware of to rent a car in Thailand?

    Any youngster under the age of 7 must ride in the rear of the vehicle in a child seat that has been properly installed. To ride in the front seat of a vehicle, any child under the age of 12 should be securely buckled into a child safety seat. Because kids can only ride in the back seat of a taxi, taxis are exempt from such car seat regulations in Thailand.

  • What other cities are reachable from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) once I arrive at this airport?

    When traveling to Thailand from several international airports in the US, travelers can conveniently visit close-by cities to Suvarnabhumi Airport. From BKK, it is simple to go to a number of close-by cities, including Bang Bo, Samut Prakan, Phra Pradaeng, Lam Luk Ka, and Bangkok. After arriving at BKK, you have the option of boarding a public bus service, using a taxi, and renting a car.

  • Which airport lounges are preferred among economy travelers flying from the USA to Thailand?

    Airport lounges are typically thought of as one of the greatest places to unwind while passengers wait for their flights from the United States to Thailand. The majority of travelers in economy prefer to fly from the US to Thailand through Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). Before taking off, passengers can affordably unwind in the Delta Sky Club at the SL Airport.

  • For the SWF-BKK route to Thailand, how can I catch the first flight at SWF Airport?

    The best method to take the earliest flight from SWF Airport to Thailand is to stay at a nearby hotel. One option that needs to be considered in this case is the Homewood Suites by Hilton Newburgh-Stewart Airport. Travelers can easily walk 0.6 miles to SWF Airport before boarding their flight to Thailand.

  • Do US citizens need a visa to travel to Thailand?

    No, US citizens do not need a visa for Thailand. There is a list of 64 countries that are exempt under the Visa Exemption Rule for entry to Thailand, so you should check online to see if your country is on the list. If it is, you will need to apply for a visa.

  • Is it recommended to buy local currency once I arrive in Thailand?

    Thai Baht is the currency used in Thailand and unless you acquire some before you take your flight from the US to Thailand, it is definitely recommended that you buy some notes upon arrival in the country to take care of transportation costs or to rent a car if you intend to drive while on vacation.

  • Can I get a nonstop flight to Krabi from the US?

    Unfortunately, there are no nonstop flights available from any airports in the United States to Thailand. If Krabi is your ultimate destination, your best bet is to book a flight to either Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok and then get a connecting flight to Krabi International Airport (KBV).

  • Where should I fly to enjoy some festivals in Thailand?

    You can attend the Samui Regatta in the Gulf of Thailand with a connecting flight out of Bangkok to Samui Airport (USM). Another unique and popular event is the Rocket Festival (Boon Bang Fai) in Yasothorn province. If you don’t wish to drive, take a connecting flight from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani Airport (UBP) and arrange transportation from there.

  • How long is the flight to Thailand?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Thailand takes 23h 31m, covering a distance of 8608 miles. The most popular route is Los Angeles - Bangkok with an average flight time of 19h 15m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Thailand?

    The cheapest ticket to Thailand from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $767. The most popular route is Los Angeles to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $774.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Thailand?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is Bangkok (89% of total searches to Thailand). The next most popular destinations are Phuket City (6%) and Chiang Mai (3%). Searches for flights to Koh Samui (0.6%), to Krabi (0.3%) and to Rayong (0.3%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Thailand

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Thailand flight deals.
  • Due to its proximity to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is a popular destination airport for most passengers flying from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Thailand. Indirect flights with a single layover at Tokyo International Airport (HND) on carriers like ANA and THAI are an option for passengers flying this route.
  • Travelers who come hail from the east coast region of the United States prefer to fly to Thailand from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Phuket International Airport (HKT). When using this flight route, passengers can take indirect flights with a single layover at Dubai International Airport (DBX) on airlines like Emirates and Qatar Airways.
  • Travelers from the central United States that intend to fly to Thailand typically use Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW ) as their departure airport. Many indirect flights with a single layover at Heathrow Airport (LHR) on different airlines, including British Airways and THAI, are accessible from this airport to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
  • If you're flying to one of the northern cities in Thailand, the Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), which serves Chiang Mai Province, might be a better airport option. John F. Kennedy International Airport offers two-stop flights with stopovers at Heathrow and Suvarnabhumi Airports, on a variety of airlines to CNX, with Virgin Atlantic and Bangkok Airways being the most popular.
  • Take one of the indirect flights with a single layover at Heathrow Airport offered by EVA Air, China Airlines, or JAL from Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) if you plan to fly to Thailand from the northwest of the United States.
  • Thailand has over 10 international airports because it is surrounded by several countries and due to its unique geography. Flights originating from the US to the country will arrive at one of three airports: Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), both in the capital city of Bangkok, and Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) in the northern part of the country.
  • The northern part of Thailand is dominated by the provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, both of which are within reach of Chiang Mai Airport. However, only flights from San Francisco Airport (SFO) use this hub, so if you arrive at either of the Bangkok Airports, you’ll have to arrange a connecting flight to either Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai Airport (CEI) to get there.
  • The Isan Region represents the eastern part of Thailand and there are four major cities there, including Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima and Udon Thani. Suvarnabhumi Airport is close to Nakhon Ratchasima, but the other cities are at least a 5h drive away, so flying into Udon Thani International Airport (UDD) will definitely save travel time that can be used to discover the region.
  • The popular resort island of Phuket and its world-class beaches lies almost 500 mi from Bangkok, but despite the distance, it’s cheaper to fly into Bangkok and get a connecting flight to Phuket International Airport (HKT) than to fly directly to Phuket. Therefore, you may wish to factor that into your travel plans when booking your flight from the US to Thailand.
  • Families traveling on holiday to Bangkok will want to check out KidZania, a miniature city tailormade for children to enjoy. KidZania is less than a 30m drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Siam Paragon downtown.

The flight crews were extremely professional, helpful, and courteous. Departure and arrival times were accurate. No delay. I will use K airline again. Thanks

I enjoyed flying on Korean Air. The service was great and the food was yummy, especially the bibimbap and cold spicy noodles. The only thing that bummed me out on this red-eye flight was that my seat did not properly recline so I was not able to sleep.

Great crew, decent food Charging plugs were broken on both seats next to me. Only the USB port was available, and that charges, very, very slowly. Seat was also broken, it would not lock into position when reclining.

Korean Air had great service and the Bibimbap dish was the best airplane food I’ve ever had. It was a long flight so in between the two meals they served customers could get Shin ramen. The flight attendants let my children use a pair of nice headphones for the flight and had earbuds and slippers for all the adults. The flight was long but the time passed by relatively quickly because they have many great shows in their entertainment TV. I watched the BTS Love Yourself and Speak Yourself concerts 💜

not too bad but not too great either. Service on all airlines declined ever since covid. Your Delta Stewardess are not that friendly at all. :-(

You did not put me on a Korean Air flight! so I do not have nothing to say

My flight was diverted to Atlanta and I was not given enough time. I paid my travel on April 23, 2023. It was originally Delta from Norfolk to NY, then Korean Air from NY all the way Philippines which is my final stop. Instead from Atlanta to Korea I flew Delta which is okay. Then Korea to Philippines, I flew Asiana Airlines. What I did not like, Ieagle did not sent me an email that my flight was change and so when I went to check in Wednesday the 10th, at 4:30 a.m they told me my flight was delayed at 6;00 p.m and diverted in Atlanta and I am flying Asiana from Korea to Philippines. I do not appreciate that Kayak or Ieagle chenge our flights 5 times and then last minute change again during my day of flight. I hope that you will not make any changes of my flight o Feb 15th because it has to be the same flight with my husband. That is the reason why we made the arrangements early on.

Wonderful cabin crew!!!!! Food was poor, in flight entertainment was just ok. They need to serve more water on a 15 hour flight--we were dehydrated and kept asking for water.

Going through security a third time to get on the next flight was again utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. We were in a International secure area once again and as far as I'm concerned should not have been put through the gears for absolutely no reason. The United States can get all the information they need from the travel itinerary, there was no need to be forced out of a secure area to personally interview everyone on a connecting flight to find out their US immigration status.

Flight arrived early, fantastic, since it is short flight, no food being served

Fast and efficient boarding. Flight was on time. Service was very good for our long flight. First time flying with this airline and I would highly recommend.

Eva Air's Business Class is pretty decent. With the given price, I think that the food can be better.

Pleasant, comfortable, and entertaining. All told, ZERO issues with it. And sadly, so far the flight was WAY more comfortable than the hellhole that is "Lambug Beach Resort" at Badian Beach!

It was a pleasant fly with Eva Air from NYC to Taipei. The crew were friendly and the food was exceeded my expectation.

Eva air is a good airline. The seats on the way to Taipei could have certainly been more comfortable, but all in all it was a pretty good experience.

Boarding is fast and easy for economy class, food was ok baggage policies are good

Overall the flight was what might be expected for a long haul flight to Asia in economy class. The cabin crew was attentive and the food was good. Boarding was fairly fast and easy. The one thing I found frustrating was the EVA app. It is terrible. Trying to do anything on it was almost impossible.

EVA would not help with ticket issue since they were purchased through a travel agency. Even though it was EVA ticket stock. Travel agency Budget Air didn't reissue ticket after airline change which I didn’t learn until trying to checkin on Christmas Day and there was no contact number for the agency to help. I will never use Budget Air to purchase flight again and disappointed in EVA’s refusal to help. Thankfully just under 12 hrs before departure someone from the agency was available to reissue tickets. I was starting to think we would not be flying and the stress trying to resolve was completely unacceptable.

seamless check in/ friendly staff, food is good, always love flying Eva Air

Very uncomfortable and crowded seats in economy. Flight attendant refused request to move to nearby unused seat with more legroom because “It was more money for that seat”. It was also near impossible to reach airline directly by phone. Waits upwards of an hour and not very helpful customer service representatives after long wait. Cannot recommend this airline.

Decent flight, staff was very good, especially with the turbulence during the flight due to weather. Comfort was about par with other airlines but since it was a quick flight, was not much of an issue for us.

It was a 2 hour flight to Taiwan. Lunch was served. China Airlines goes above and beyond for their passengers.

Liked that I could pick my seat and have a special meal without an extra charge. Luggage is reasonable for overseas trip. What could have been better is boarding and leaving on time.

They were helpful, considerate with asking us for standby preboarding with our infant, gave us toys and excellent service onboard. They were always on time, even early boarding once! All our luggage arrived intact, and they even brought our baby car seat to oversized for us. We love China Airlines!

Better training to have qualified crews and services. My flight was from around 12 midnight Friday Taipei to Vancouver. After two hours first meal (2:00 Am -8:00 ) no crew available for even asking for some water. I was even willing to pay for water. For breakfast after 8 hours the only drink was tea and coffee no water or juice.

3 of the 4 flights had delays despite the weather being fine, but still managed to make all connections

Ask flight attendant for water during flight and she was a little rude get the water.

Staff were good and nice. There should me 3 meals instead of only 2 and snacks.

Flight was delay almost 2 hours from Hong Kong to Taipei. Last minute gate change from 24 to 66. Long way walk. We need to run in the Taipei airport to catch our next flight from Taipei to Vancouver. That is so suck!

For a long-haul flight, the crew did a very good job of keeping the lavatories clean and the aisles clear.

Made the Atlanta to Pittsburgh trip many times, with Delta no issues

I always fly with Delta. My friends tell me their horror stories of flying with other airlines. I just smile and say, “You should fly Delta”

I'm a larger, athletic guy (6'2", 260lbs powerlifter) and I found the seats incredibly uncomfortable with minimal leg room, especially in a window seat. Now, I full understand that being smaller may change my view but even if I was 80lbs less, my legs would be the same size and I was sandwiched between my seat and the seat in front of me.

Horrible. This was not first class. This was a connecting flight whi h was late. My original flight never came. I hated the fact that delta gave me a connecting flight from New York to Orlando Florida. No meals and the television screens were not working. There wasn't even any power to charge your phones. This is NOT FIRST CLASS DELTA!!! Do better next time!

This flight was ridiculous. I had to have a connecting flight from New York to orlando Florida??? The flight left late and because it was a short flight there was no first class amenities. I had one alcohol drink. The flight crew was fine, but it sure did not feel like first class. Delta to me dropped the ball by giving me a connecting flight. By the time we got to Raleigh we would have missed the next flight. Lucky for me the flight never came so now I was stuck waiting for a later flight that came in late also.

Our flight was delayed in Atlanta. The staff could have gave us an explanation for the delay and how long it would be.

I liked the ease of checking in, luggage check in, wheel chair assistance, boarding and flight.

On my way home I had a layover. The flight from ATL to CLT was amended 5x while I was waiting. I could have driven home sooner. Overall from Dallas, Tx to Charlotte, NC I started my trip at 4:30pm, I didn’t get home until past midnight. I know things happen, but 5x to make me run back and forth in an airport from different terminals is excessive. I also upgraded to comfort + , I didn’t feel it was worth it. There was no benefit

They did a fine job. Can't wait to use Delta in the future.

Operated by American Airlines. Very chaotic and the crew was bit rough responding any enquiries. Restricted leg space.. Qatar would have been better

Qatar airways from Doha to guangzhau was excellent big bird Boeing 777 more room and smoothly flight, I Love it

It was good no problems made it on time for the next flight overseas!

The made us waiting and held our passports and boarding pass making us miss our flights

Not impressed. Only allowed one carry on on such a long flight.

The flight was good but my neighbor had the vent open full power for the whole flight and because the air was blowing from the side instead of from the top and I got very cold and ended up with a sore throat.

Bad experience with the delay n long wait time for connecting flight after missing the connection flight from Doha.

Wore experience due to delay and took me 3 days to reach my destination.

All over with Qatar airlines my experience was really bad due to delays and then putting me on different airlines and after 8 hours of wait I had to listen to their is no plane to fly for another 24 hours. Wore experience ever.

Excellent will be flying again in May with Qatar. to Botswana.
