Hello All,
So far I found Thai air to be the cheapest Business Class rates compare to SIN, Cathay and Japan. Should I contact the travel agent or good ahead and book with Thair Air to get the best rates for 2 adults? This is traveling in November 14 to December 2. Thank you!!

Agree with Bob. If you are flying from the West Coast, Thai is your best bet--and definitely book online. You're not going to find a better rate through a travel agent than you will on their website.
Other carriers might be better if you're flying from the East Coast.
I am partial to EVA myself, just for the value and their Premium Economy product. But, in Business class, then you should really look at Thai or Singapore--depending on where you fly from and what your pocketbook can afford.
Good luck!

Thank you again everyone. We are coming from Dallas so I have to get a flight from DFW to LAX to fly on Thai. So far Thai has the lowest airfare from LAX to BKK BUS class. I like to fly with American via Japan Airline to BKK. However, the cost for each BUS Class is over $8000 per person.

I posted in your other message but in case you don't see that:
Clear, one that has not been mentioned is Emirates - they have a daily non-stop from Houston (IAH) to Dubai from where you go onwards to Bangkok ( 3 a day Dubai to bangkok, takes about 5 hrs 45 so not long on that scetor ) , so from Houston to Bangkok just 2 sectors, I don't know how Emirates discount in the US but certainly in Asia they offer heavily discounted Business class plus good service.
Call Emirates in Houston and ask if they can suggest a consolidator or just check with T/agents in your area.
I pressume you could get from dalls to Houston quite easy

The difference between Northwest Business Class and Thai Business Class is basically like comparing a Westin hotel to a Motel 6.
Don't book Northwest if you don't have to. Their planes are dated and so is their Business Class.
