Cheap flights from London Gatwick Airport to Bangkok from £284

You'll be flying from London Gatwick Airport (LGW). Gatwick Airport is well connected to Central London; if you head to Paddington Station, you can catch the Gatwick Express, a Southern Line train, which will get you to the airport in around 30min. You'll be flying into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Bangkok's main airport. It's roughly a 30min train journey to the centre of Bangkok; trains leave every 10-15min, and the train departs from the station directly underneath the airport.

Unfortunately, no airlines currently offer direct flights on the Gatwick to Bangkok route, but you still have a lot of options for this trip. Turkish Airlines offers flights multiple times a week, which only have one fairly short layover in Istanbul. The quickest flights with one stop in Istanbul have a duration of 16h 25min-16h 45min. The quickest flights with two or more stops last 21h-21h 30min, so if you choose the Turkish Airlines flight with one stop, you'll save around 5h. Flights on this route with two or more stops are normally served by at least two different airlines, so it's possible that you'll make some savings if you choose the longer trips.

The most common and fastest route is with Turkish Airlines; it has a brief (1-2h) layover at Istanbul Airport (IST). Turkish Airlines also has a route with two stops, one in Antalya and the second also in Istanbul. Aside from that, most other routes will have two layovers and will probably also require you to self transfer, as they're composed of flights from multiple airlines. For example, you could fly to Dublin Airport (DUB) with Aer Lingus, then take a Qatar Airways flight to Bangkok with a layover in Doha. Some of the flights with more than two stops are a little cheaper than the route with only two; they may also be useful to consider if you're booking a last-minute flight.
