Cheap Flights to Southeast Asia If something a little more tropical is your speed this year, we also recently dug up some fantastic fares to Southeast Asia and the countries of Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

When one airline lowers fares, they all tend to follow suit, leading to some stiff competition on routes across the Pacific and some low fares for our Thrifty Traveler Premium members to get to far-flung places locales like Cebu (CEB) in the Phillippines or Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) this year.

Those seats are a terrific value, but theyre going to be in the back of the plane. Lets move up a class, shall we? Enter Premium economy.

Singapore Airlines Premium Economy is a more-than-comfortable way to get to Singapore and beyond in 2024, and this flight deal could put you in one of those seats from New York City (JFK, EWR) for $1,248 roundtrip!

Amazing Points Deals to Get to Asia, Too What beats a cheap flight to Asia? Just one thing: A nearly free flight to Asia using your points and miles.

Youre in luck: With most of Asia open for travelers and airlines ramping up flights, weve sent Thrifty Traveler Premium members more and more deals to put their points and miles to use for a trip to Asia this year or next.

Only Thrifty Traveler Premium members get Delta SkyMiles deals and other award alerts like this!

Flying Delta partner Korean Airlines is a sneaky good way to reap maximum value from your Delta miles. With quick connections in Seoul (ICN), you can make a Southeast Asia trip happen starting at just 68,000 Delta SkyMiles roundtrip!

Another sweet way to use your SkyMiles? Flying Deltas brand new route to Taipei, Taiwan (TPE). When airlines launch brand new routes, theyll often put those routes on super sale to sell all those empty seats.  These nonstop flights to TPE came at near-record lows for our members with SkyMiles in their accounts.

Finally, theres a single cheapest way to use points and miles to get to South Korea, and thats using Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles. For Korean Air flights, the cheapest way to book them is through Virgin.

We love this deal because you can transfer points from Chase, Capital One, or American Express (among others) to Virgin Atlantic, so you might have these points sitting around and not even know it!

These nonstop flights come at some outstanding rates for a flight this year.

Well start again in Japan, where one trend is very clear: If you want to book Japan Airlines (JAL) business class seats to Tokyo, youd better start earning some American Airlines miles. Weve found wide-open opportunities to fly Japan Airlines business class to Tokyo over the last several months always for at least two passengers or more!

Thats right: Just 60,000 American Airlines miles and $5.60 in taxes and fees for a lie-flat business class trip to Japan. It might be the best way to get to Tokyo.

If you dont have the points to make it happen, theres another super-affordable way to fly lie-flat to Japan: ZIPAIR Business Class.

ZIPAIR is as bare bones as it gets: No meals, no amenities, no nothing. Just a lie-flat seat across the Pacific. Stripping away those amenities gets you value like these $1,925 roundtrip business class fares, though.

Delta One Suites are not stripped down or bare bonesnot even close. These swanky suites are some of the best lie-flat offerings in the sky right now but are notoriously hard to book using points and miles. That is, until last month when nearly all Delta One routes went on sale using Air France/KLM FlyingBlue miles.

The result was availability on all of these amazing routes across the Pacific, most of which were into Tokyo (HND) or Seoul (ICN.)

Finally, Singapore Airlines, the best airline in the world, also has a beautiful business class crisscrossing the Pacific every day. And when you book with Singapore Airlines themselves, you get the best chance at snagging one of these seats. Plus, you can transfer points to Singapore from Amex, Capital One, Chase, and Citi.

While the availability was a little less when booking through partner Air Canada, you could possibly book these seats with Air Canada Aeroplan miles, too. This availability for nonstop flights to Singapore was as good as it gets!

Lets go one step further at look at first class like this first class ride to Hong Kong (HKG). And Cathay Pacific first class doesnt mess around: This is one of the most luxurious ways to fly to Asia. Soon after relaunching first class flights to the U.S., Cathay opened up some award space for savvy travelers to book a bucket list flight.

These flights were bookable using Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, which can be transferred from Amex, Bilt, Capital One, or Citi.

Theres comfort, and then theres the full-service, never-see-the-bottom-of-your-glass service of first class. See for yourself!
