What's the cheapest flight from BKK to YVR roundtrip for about 30 days starting from the first week of June?

I must be able to accrue points with the airline (star alliance preferably), so sites like orbitz and expedia doesn't work.

With the Star Alliance flying into YVR means that you would likely be on an Air Canada, United or Singapore Airlines flight.

Air Canada publishes it's best fairs on their website (http://www.aircanada.ca) so that might be the best place to look. Generally, I've noticed that Air Canada flights are slightly less expensive at the moment so it might be a good idea to check them first and jump quick if a price seems cheap.

http://www.farecast.com/ does a reasonably good job of telling you when a "good time" to buy is.

If you're not concerned with points, check out SideStep... http://www.sidestep.com/ They aggregate prices and you can often gauge a good deal on a price by checking there.

Thanks for pointing the obvious. I'm offering a tip for this answer so I don't have to do the research myself. You're just telling me to "search" somewhere, when I'm asking what's the cheapest flight with all the possible routes.

No problem, Bobbyg... however you need to search for an exact date when booking a flight. Also, the exact time that you search determines your fair. The next time that you ask a question like this, it might be best to state the exact dates that you need to travel and be prepared to book right away to receive the fairs that you see.

If you don't do this, either the fairs will be innacurate or you will receive generic answers.

Also, be careful with that "not helpful" vote. I took the time to search out the 3 airlines that qualify for your answer and also stated that Air Canada has the best prices available.

Kayak.com which compares the major airlines has a round trip flight for $1,105.00

Vayma has one for $877 but after fees it says it will be $1,135.00.

Like I said in my question, i need to be able to accrue points and none of your flight in your answer qualifies for such.
