Lufthansa is one of the airlines operating on the Bangkok-Kuala Lumpur route and offers lower fares than Thai Airways and Malaysia Airlines on this onward flight from Frankfurt. Other carriers are Gulf Air, Indian Airlines and Air Asia. While Air Asia was probably cheaper, the German airline’s low fare and the fact that the flight is operated by a 747-400 instead of a 737 made it much more attractive.
Lufthansa’s normal return fare for this flight is 5000 baht, excluding taxes and surcharges. However, for two passengers travelling together, the Bangkok office offers a special fare of 4085 baht each.
Lufthansa has four flights per week from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur, while the other three flights per week coming from Frankfurt continue to Ho Chi Minh City. These flights used to be operated by the A340-600 and as I haven’t flown on that type yet I was hoping to get the opportunity.
