  1. Whoopee, so the moribund Airline is prepared to fly me to BKK where I’ll be promptly ‘escorted’ into quarantine for at least 2 weeks in the Covid Capitol of Thailand.
    No provision made to ‘fast track’ passengers who’s final destination is elsewhere in Thailand.
    Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

  2. £944 to London and back by Thai airways.
    £476 to London and back by Swiss Air.
    And Swiss Air is likely to fly you home.
    I am surprised that Thai Airways is risking flights to western countries where there is a risk that their aircraft will be seized for debt.

  3. You might want to check the list….Australia isn’t accepting flights unless they are repatriation flights of Australian Citizens, with a mandatory 14 day quarantine on arrival. I can’t imagine it being a “lucrative” flight.

  4. And they will fly “until September”, so probably a new lockdown is planned due in September.

    I wonder how much the IMF pays for every lockdown? They offered the president of Belarus 1 billion USD under the table for a 1 month hard lockdown.

  5. @Slugger – because the Thai dont know you are living in Nazi Germany and aren’t allowed to leave. They have made a list based on low covid countries. Time for you Aussies to kick Csomo in the nuts. He hates CCP but is just as bad.

  6. A friend arrived in BKK yesterday. Horrible quarantine hotel with terrible service. Spain to Doha 4 seats to lie on, Doha to BKK maybe 28 people on the plane. Can’t see it lasting. Going through customs and baggage collection he had his medical docs inspected 9 different times. Said it was comical.

  7. Their maintenence mechanics, ground staff and cabin crews have all had their wages and benefits slashed. Employees not overjoyed. This airline is bankrupt owing for cancelled flights and equipment lease payments. Proposed routes to some closed countries. Much higher fares than solid, reliable carriers. Sounds like a plan!

  8. Why on earth would anyone book a ticket with Thai Air? 5.4 billion US in debt, tens of thousands of customers still owed refunds from over a year ago, scared of landing planes in Europe as they could get impounded by creditors. All while the border restrictions change overnight countries. I guess there’s one born every minute.

  9. After being charged and thereafter paying £2700 for a one way ticket last September from UK, while Thai Airways held a repatriation monopoly on seats I vowed never to use Thai Airways again unless I was desperate. I used to be a gold card holder on this airline, but never again.
