Cheap Flights to South East Asia from the UK

Student flights from the UK to South East Asia

South East Asia is a dream come true for backpackers and student travellers. It presents the perfect combination of being absolutely rammed with world-class things to see, do and experience, while at the same time costing a fraction of what the same things in the UK would.

You might have also heard this region called Indochina (not used as much these days). It broadly encompasses the region between China’s southern border and Australia’s northern border, including countries like Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.

How to fly from the UK to South East Asia

The UK has excellent connections to South East Asia, with a massive choice of both direct and connecting flights from cities like London, Manchester and Edinburgh to cities including Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Manila in the Philippines.

You can fly either direct or, often for slightly less, you can use one of the Middle Eastern airlines, like Etihad, Emirates and Qatar, and make a change in Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Doha respectively. This can create a good excuse to spend a few days in one of those places instead of getting straight back on a plane without leaving the airport - why not, if you have the time to spare!
