DrJack54 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thinking later than that. I any event you could (would) be subject to 14 isolation in bkk. Fly home to USA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 I think it will be phased and vary by point of origin with flights from countries where the epidemic resolves earlier allowed in first. I doubt there will be a complete opening to all flights before July if then. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 Personally, I would think there will be improvements at the end of this month. At least it would be nice to see International flight start to resume and thereby International mail services re-opened. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 It could be then, but maybe only when, and definitely not before now, but I wouldn't bet on roulette if I did not use a crystal ball, of which I do not have. So there you have it my predictions based upon .....well nothing 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Europe already talks about cautious 'opening up' so provided that goes well, my prediction is we may see limited routes opening late May early June - most likely checks at airports for a while or medical certificate maybe required That is of course if the possible secondary wave does not appear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening up some time in May, but completely a few months later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Restaurants won't even be open by the end of the month why should they start letting flights here? And the responsible thing is to have every passenger show a recent negative test prior to boarding. I think it should be July or August only restricted countries.

I f the trend in lesser infections are still in the game. t will probably also depend on the destination, because they will not start fly to countries with high level of infections.

RichardColeman Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My retirement extension is due for renewal in January - I seriously doubt at this point I will make that date and will have to start again later next year. Base that on the following. 1. You cannot easily get a test in the UK or a doctors note that Thailand will require. 2. They will not open the uk lockdown until atleast mid May earliest - say maybe June. 3. UK will end isolation for 5-6 weeks. Travel ban due to close proximity 4. Wave 2. hits (medium size) 5. 2nd Lockdown July/August weeks. 6. Release from 2nd lockdown Travel ban due to close proximity 7. Wave 3 hits September. (smaller size) 8. 3rd Lockdown October/November. 9. Isolation ends , released for X-mas Travel ban due to close proximity 10. Wave 4 hits, January (very small) 11. Lockdown for 1 month. 12 Isolation ends Travel ban due to close proximity 13. Travel ban lifted end Feb/March. Hope I'm wrong - want back with my wife and daughter - but I seriously feel this year will be a wipeout 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights leaving are either flights for citizens trying to return home to their country or cargo carried flights. The same with in-bound flights. There are no international tourists coming into the country. If you do manage to leave, unless you meet certain criteria as listed by the Government, you will not be returning for the near foreseeable future. Does that answer your post.

But they might open to other flights before then. I suspect land borders will open first though might initially be restricted to nationals of Thailand & neighboring countries.

Other airlines have also loaded inventory even if not available for purchase yet. I can see BKK pencilled in for 1st May on one at least. Entry restrictions will be a bigger issue than availability IMO, as a lot of folk won't want to leave if they're unsure when they'll get back, and most won't come if they face quarantine.
