International Air Recommendations

We are well aware of all airlines and all routings between Canada and Bangkok and are available to assist you in determining your best option. If you don't have frequent flyer points to cash in on a free ticket, we suggest one of the three popular options shown below. These have been created for residents of Ottawa however there may be better routings depending on your city of residence and your personal preference.

Prices from Western Canada will generally be less expensive and we would be pleased to provide a quote.

Please note that fuel surcharges are continuing to increase weekly.

Air Canada and Thai Airways
This option involves using Air Canada to Asia (usually Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo or Seoul) via either Toronto or Vancouver then transferring to Thai Airways or Cathay Pacific for the final leg into Bangkok. The advantage of this option is that both carriers belong to the Star Alliance and you will earn Aeroplan points for all segments. All legs of this journey are in economy class. The current cost of this option is about C$1480 plus about C$500 tax per person. The price changes regularly so please check with us for the latest price.

Air Canada and EVA Airways
This option is our personal favourite since the legs flown on EVA (the excellent airline of Taiwan) are all in Premium Economy - a class between economy and business which offers more leg room and a wider seat than economy class on other airlines. The legs on Air Canada are in regular economy. This choice involves flying with Air Canada to Vancouver and then with EVA to Taipei and on to Bangkok. While no Aeroplan points are earned on the EVA segments, Air Canada will credit your points for their segments. You can of course join EVA's frequent flyer program if you wish and collect their frequent flyer points for future use. The current cost of this option (subject to change at any time) is about C$1850 plus about C$400 (subject to daily changes)  tax per person. Due to scheduling of EVA airlines flights, passengers would have to arrive in Bangkok one day prior to the start of the tour and on the return would be required to stay in Vancouver overnight. The two additional hotel nights would have to be paid by the passenger.
