Even if I went , would be difficult to travel onwards since National Express have suspended all their coach operations. Might even have to swim across the solent by the time I got there.

[Bangkok Barry]

And now updated by no flights being allowed to land in Thailand for the next few days. No doubt that will be extended, as banning for just a few days is pointless.

[ian carman]

Can Eva still land as no one will be entering the country?

[ian carman]

Why doesn’t someone from BA or Thai Airways show a bit of business sense .

They could fly empty uk to Thailand but full up on return.All they have to do is put the prices up to cover the empty flight to say £500 one way
