Butch Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Just as something to kill some time, I've searched prices for the following dates in Feb 2022 with the 3 direct services, however please note that the THAI service is now showing as Via phuket. All are Economy fares, but not the basic economy, they are one step up from the cheapest so allow baggage etc.: EVA Air: THAI Airways Not coming in cheap, BA being the most competetive. These are direct with the Airlines. Edited September 23, 2021 by Butch 1 2 1 1
Derek Dangleberries Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Thanks mate! EVA comes as quite a shock !! Before all this fannying about I was a dead cert to fly Emirates. 1
Butch Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 EVA is a bit of a shocker, you're right. I've found that their prices seem to adjust a bit but are always higher or in line with THAI, on this occasion being £150 or so more. Hopefully over time and as demand increases we'll see them getting a bit cheaper.

There is only one a day leaving T3 around 18:30 so I'm quite limited....Albeit a dream anyway !!!! Edited September 23, 2021 by Derek Dangleberries

Bit of a faff I know, but could you land and book at night at the Premier Inn on the Great West Road or the other one on Bath Rd and catch a bus / train the following morning?. An Uber from LHR to the hotel won't be a lot either.

Bloody ridiculous mate!

Bloody ridiculous mate! I recently stayed at the Premier Inn on the Colnbrook Bypass (near former Peggy Bedford site), I stayed 2 nights on separate occasions over the last 5 weeks. I stayed there as I was flying out of Terminal 5 to Rhodes and then to Prague. I paid £39 on both occasions but could have got the rate to £35 if I was willing to book the non refundable price. I also stayed at the Premier Inn Terminals 1/2/3 on the Bath road Heathrow in June and again only paid £35. Now the price of the food and drink in those hotels is rather silly. 1 2

Bloody ridiculous mate! Mate I'll give you my contact details and if ever, I can pre book you a decent rate this end. As Dave says, the food is costly but you only need the "just eat" app and order it in from the local takeaway.

I won't seriously be considering a flight until after February.

Also a very nice Italian restaurant in Colnbrook called La Bettola, nice simple food. https://newbettola.co.uk/ Edited September 25, 2021 by AJSP 1

That was the Punchbowl which has a rather poor Thai restaurant inside. The hotel opposite the pub was built when I lived there back in the 90s, looks like the hotel is close to the Italian. 1
