Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Leh and Bangkok. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Bangkok is during the cool, dry season from November to March. The weather is more comfortable for sightseeing, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. Avoid the monsoon season from June to October due to heavy rainfall and humidity.
