7 hours is too much, that's longer than the flight itself.

 

I would become restless myself if I were confined to a small space on the plane.

 

The least Thai Airways could do is to make everyone happy by giving them free food/drinks and wifi to surf.

The Thai government are more concerned about tourist dollars than the health of their citizens

I've had a Chinese person put their bare feet on my armrest during a flight back from working in Europe, had one sat behind me belching and farting while swigging grog from what looked like a cider jug on the way to HK and had one forcefully push into me while queuing to go to work at DMK... when I firmly stood my ground he lost his balance and ended up ricocheting into a Thai family then onto the ground. 

We had similar experiences and in fact we stopped flying Cathey Pacific altogether because of just this sort of thing. It's a pity but in general terms they are the rudest people on the planet.

Why is THAI still flying to China when most other airlines in the region and internationally have stopped their China flights? Even Lao Airlines has stopped flying to China. The national airline of a country even more dependent on China than Thailand. All China bound flights out of Vietnam have stopped. Qantas has stopped it's Sydney-Shanghai flights and reduced frequency on the Hong Kong flights. USA-China flights are mostly suspended.

 

But not Thailand? Gosh...words escape me.

It rather obvious if you follow Thai politics.

Ah...Thai doesn't know Chineseness...coughing in someone's face is a Chinese show of gratitude ????

[justin case]

wait, is thailand on the list of dangerous countries for CHINA ???

 

disgusting attitude of the woman

[IamNoone88]

She should be thankful it was Thai and not an American airline. The Thai staff handled this women graciously.

One Chinese woman went stir crazy on a Thai Airways flight and deliberately coughed on a female flight attendant to try to pressure staff to open the doors and let her out

Some peoples egos are bigger than their brains.. you might get off early, but go straight to jail!

Think it through first!

[Tropposurfer]

behaviour terrible. Making people sit in a plane on a tarmac for 7 hours is inhuman and disgraceful too!

claustrophobia can make people do the most ridiculous things. seven hours being locked up in a plane does not make much sense.

These things seem to happen quite often. Why can’t they just move everybody off the plane into a secure area with toilets? Stupidity. A planes toilets will quickly back up and food and drink will run out. It seems some airports are run by morons. Seven hours locked in a cigar tube.....ridiculous.

[Nicknoodle]

Put her in quarantine for 14 days, that may calm her down! 

[dallen52]

Tantamount to someone with HIV spitting on you.

Really should be reprimanded. 

Question is why Thai was flying Shanghai on March 6th ?

I thought there were restrictions in place?

[Tops]

Thai Airways is still flying to Milan Malpensa but Milan is in a lock down area.

They must be desparate.

Anyone ever see the movie Airplane with Lesley Nielson? The passengers should have passed her around the airplane.

Airlines have stopped because of no demand. Not because of virus fears. No go ca5ch those escaped words

[Stevemercer]

If Thai is still flying to high risk countries then Bangkok will be increasingly used as a hub to indirectly beat any travel bans. This may increase risks to all who use Suvurnahabi (and indirectly Thailand).

English at :21 "careful or we are going to be next."

They need not worry because Thai airways is known for giving priority to Caucasian passengers. He would not have jumped on her if that was a white person.

[aripengu]

7 hours waiting in the plane on the tarmac..... quite unprofessional.

[soalbundy]

She was immediately attacked with sneezes
