|
I got some time off last-minute and wanna head to Thailand in two weeks.
Unfortunately, it's the peak season so plane tix are sold out.
There's got to be somewhere I can find two tickets for a week-long stay. Any help would be massively appreciated. |

| You can find tickets, but you gotta pay up the ass. You want Cheap tickets?? Ain't going to happen unless you camp out at the airport and hope someone cancels. |

| If you are willing to pay $1100 US return, then go to amadeus.net and click on best fares. There is one on Air Macau (Incheon-Macau-BKK-Macau-Incheon) for that price in about 2 weeks. |

You can also try routing via HK or Taipei (Cathay or EVA) - mid day flights usually have seats.
If you can get a flight to Clark (northern Phils - they usually don't sell out) you can catch one of the discount carriers heading south as well.

| Go to Singapore and u can get flight on discount Thai carrier from there. Either that or wait till after 15 Aug, end of peak season when the fares go down. |

| I want to see if I can get a visa into china from Hk so I am flying into Hk. I called last minute direct to Cathay pacific and was quoted 63700 to Thailand. I can stop in Hk and if I cannot get a chinese visa I can just continue onto Thailand. I called and there is plently of seats. So not sure why people are having trouble finding tickets. |

Because there are no tickets left on the "direct, non-stop" flights and there are damn few cheap seats left. Most are full fare tickets.
You CAN get a visa into China from HK.
You used to be able to get them right at the frontier (border crossing).
With the changes and restrictions now due to the Olympics I am NOT sure if that is still the case but I assume it is since both are Chinese soil (just that HK is a special administrative district).
