Other information

What is the cheapest month to fly to Thailand?

In general, September is the cheapest month to fly from South Africa to Thailand. Due to it being the ‘off-season’ during this time, you can expect flight prices to be around R9 939. If you aren’t able to travel to Thailand during the month of September, then flying in November is also cheap. Prices for this month can be found on momondo for an average of R10 074.

What is the cheapest day to depart on your flight to Thailand?

The cheapest day to depart on your flight to Thailand is on a Wednesday when prices can be found for as low as R11 582.

Departure times in the afternoon fall within the peak daily travel times, which is why tickets can be more expensive.

How far in advance should I book a flight to Thailand?

You are more likely to see cheaper flights to Thailand from South Africa when booking weeks ahead of your departure date. In general, you can expect to find flights to Thailand for around R11 266 when searching weeks before you fly. However, flight prices might be lower outside of this timeframe.
