I’m planning to visit Japan and some country with nice beaches (right now thinking about Thailand) in October - 2-3 weeks total trip.
From what I checked cheapest direct flights from EU to Asia are with Finnair from Helsinki with prices about 1000eur both ways. I would like to avoid transfer in middle east and I appreciate flying over north pole instead of middle east 😊
Do you think price can decrease in upcoming months? Can you recommend some strategies for planning trip like that?

My colleague’s mother is currently stuck in Cambodia and so I’ve heard a little about the current flight situation. The main airports in Doha and Dubai are currently offline. Flights have to reroute and the whole air traffic between Europe and the Eastern Asia is therefore disrupted. There are flights but demand outstrips supply and everything is kind of expensive. Nobody knows how long this stupid war will go on, and so it’s really hard to know when prices will get lower or when flights can go on as usual.
Very hard to predict, but the more the war lasts, the least people will fly via the Gulf, which will increase prices for all connections from Europe to Asia and Australia… But I would say that now is too early to buy for October… As a general rule in life.
If you don’t wanna transfer in Middle East, there’s Singapore Airlines afaik.
Finnair flies to Japan via Norway, North Pole, Alaska. No idea how expensive that is. I’m guessing it’s just going to get more expensive thanks to oil and gas prices soaring.
