Let’s start with the obvious. All international travel right now comes with an asterisk of if’s and but’s. But with that said, Thailand has laid out a relatively clear path to opening international travel, and crucial to this offer, Phuket is a huge part of it. Qatar Airways has a great offer to get you there, with business class for £1166 (€1368) round trip.

Thailand plans to open international travel without quarantine for vaccinated people from July 2021, but that will only initially apply to arrivals coming into Phuket, and not Bangkok or other areas. If all goes to plan, other arrival cities for quarantine free travel will open up from October. In the meantime, here’s how to bag a great deal.
Deal Alert: £1100 Business Class London To Bangkok With Oneworld
Qatar Airways has some great offers to Phuket, which provides a fantastic solution for vaccinated people to return to Thailand without the need for quarantine, come July. The lowest prices can be found from Stockholm to Phuket, but Oslo, Paris, Warsaw and Vienna provide alternatives for a couple hundred more.
At the time of writing, Qatar Airways has scheduled a Qsuite equipped Boeing 777 to fly between Doha and Phuket, offering one of the best business class experiences in the world. You can read a review, here. Clearly, they’re expecting pent up demand.
Flights from European departure points into Doha Hamad International will either have Qsuites, or Qatar’s other seat, which is still a treat (review). With Qatar set to deploy its new 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, there’s even a chance you’d end up on the all new business class seat, which has remained a mystery!
Turkish Airlines Business Class Review
These flights will appeal most to vaccinated travelers, who will be allowed to skip quarantine. Other travelers who can present a negative test will still require 7-10 days of quarantine. Qatar has timed the offer perfectly with Thailand’s reopening plans, and these fares are truly wide open from July onward.
Some cities, such as Warsaw, see better availability from September onward, but the lowest Stockholm deals can be booked on virtually any day in 2021. These fares have a 5 night minimum stay, but it’s a long way to go these days to stay shorter anyway.
Frustratingly to most, these ‘R’ fares no longer automatically include lounge access, unless you receive it anyway by being Oneworld Sapphire or Emerald. Even then, you don’t get access to the nicer Al Mourjan Lounge in Doha, you get a separate lounge.

In terms of on board experience, nothing else changes. You still get all the bells and whistles, as well as champagne and food (and lots of points). If you want to shave a few bucks off the price, you can use metasearch sites like Skyscanner to book via an online travel agency. This can add hassle if travel plans change, but some people prefer the savings.

Download our app instead and turn on alerts!We flew with Thai Airways from London Heathrow Terminal 2 to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport via Phuket International. The flight was operated by a B777-300 with a flight time of 14 hours and 50 minutes.
To enter Thailand at the time, I needed to provide proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure, medical insurance over US$50, 000 and proof of full vaccination. See our guides to entering Thailand on the Test and Go and Sandbox schemes.
Airlines are currently advising you to check-in three hours before your departure due to document checks, so I arrived at the airport at 0900 for my 1150 departure.

The check-in desks for the airline are located at the far end (section D) of Terminal 2, and there were two short queues with two desks dedicated to economy, and one for business class passengers. I had to show my Thailand Pass, which is a QR code that I printed out and stored on my phone, along with my passport, and proof of a negative PCR test.
Check-in was simple and I received a paper boarding pass. I proceeded to fast-track security, which went fairly quickly though the person in front of me seemed to have a considerable amount of hand luggage.
The terminal was quite quiet and I headed straight for the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge, which was around a 20-minute walk away from security near gates D. Thai Airways does not have its own lounge at Heathrow.
Review: Etihad Business Class Food Menu In 2023
Business class passengers can use the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge as both airlines are members of the Star Alliance. It’s easy to find, and has a set of lifts taking you upstairs to both the SilverKris and Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge.
The lounge is excellent, with a range of seating areas and plenty of food options. As you enter, there’s a more serious looking business centre-like room on the right hand-side which has tea, a Nespresso machine, a fridge with soft drinks and some pastries.
The main lounge area is down the corridor to the left, and begins with a self-serve buffet area with fresh-from-the-oven pastries, cold cheese and ham croissants, some yoghurts, smoothies and clingfilm-covered fruit salads. There’s also a fridge with soft drinks and beers, a wide selection of teas and a coffee machine which was attracting a lot of attention in the morning.

As you continue towards the lounge area, there’s another table with small Kelloggs cereal boxes and a range of fresh juices. There are signs throughout advising you to scan the QR code from your table to order hot food. I tried scanning the QR code but it did not work, later finding out from a staff member said that you had to connect to the wifi first for it to work. Several people were also confused about this, so it may be worth them signposting this.
The hot menu included a Full English breakfast (and a veggie version), a bacon roll,
