Lufthansa (www.lufthansa.com) is slashing its prices for its two Southeast Asian routes flying direct from Bangkok; book now for a round-trip to Ho Chi Minh from B4,800 and Kuala Lumpur from B4,900. We tried booking Ho Chi Minh for a weekend in March and the rates stood the test, so maybe there’s no longer a need to wrestle with the complicated booking systems of low cost airlines when you can get full services at such dirt cheap rates.
