Trying to find cheapest flight options from BKK to the US. Google flights is showing one booking option thru a sketchy 3rd party site

I need to arrive to Anchorage Alaska on June 8, flying from Bangkok Thailand.
All the flights Im finding now are pretty damn expensive.
Im not sure if I should fly into Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, etc… and on which airline for the cheapest price. I don’t care about long traveling hours.
Once I get to US I have some miles stacked with Alaskan air so will use that to get to Alaska.
Any insights would be awesome… thanks much

when I look through google flights they’re only giving me options to book thru Jettzy which I’ve read is not a good service.

Then set the filter to airline sites only.

Use it to find the flight(s) and then go to the actual carrier’s website to book.

I’d split it into two bookings if you can. BKK to a West Coast hub (Seattle, SF, LA, even Portland sometimes) and then use your Alaska miles from there. Prices jump around a lot depending on the US city, so I’d just check a few dates and pick the cheapest entry point. I’d avoid sketchy third party sites, though, even if they look cheaper.

Flexibility with dates usually makes the biggest difference. Even shifting by 1–2 days can drop prices a lot.

Set a google price alert from BKK to Seattle, Anchorage, SFO, and LAX. Then wait

Asiana is sub $500 to SFO the first few days of June with a layover in Seoul and a travel time of 17 hours. Compared to almost $700 into SEA with a travel time of over 30 hours.

SeaTac is Alaska’s main hub so you’ll probably have better luck finding flights to Anchorage and using your miles from there.
