About flights to Far East
Overview of flying to the Far East
The Far East captivates UK travellers with its blend of ancient tradition and dazzling modernity — glittering skylines, serene temples, tropical islands and some of the world's finest food. From the buzz of the great cities to island escapes, the region is superbly connected to the UK by direct and one-stop flights.
Best time to visit
The ideal time varies by country: spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are generally best across the region, avoiding the summer monsoon and humidity. The price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.

- Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket): temples, street food and beaches.
- Singapore: a gleaming, green city-state.
- Japan (Tokyo, Osaka): tradition meets the future.
- Hong Kong: a spectacular harbour skyline.
- Malaysia & Vietnam: vibrant cities and stunning coastlines.

Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Thai Airways connect the UK to the Far East, direct or via a single hub. Journey times range from around twelve to sixteen hours depending on the destination.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Far East
- Book 2–4 months ahead for the best long-haul value.
- Compare Gulf and Asian hubs for fare and stopover options.
- Travel outside monsoon and festival peaks where possible.
- Consider a stopover to break the journey and see an extra city.
Travel essentials
- Visa rules vary — many Far East countries are visa-free or offer visa-on-arrival for short UK tourist stays. Always check before you fly.
- Currencies differ by country; carry the local currency for each destination.

Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
