Flights to Thailand just dropped in a big way. Round-trip fares from Chicago to Bangkok are now available for $699, widely found on Korean Air for travel from October through May. That includes some spring break dates, making this an incredible value—especially since this route usually runs well over $1,000+.
Korean Air is consistently ranked among the world’s best carriers, with spacious seating, great service, and an excellent onboard experience. At this price, it’s an exceptional chance to get halfway around the world without breaking the bank.
