firemans35 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Another article on here said it was domestic flights only and even then the Airlines could only sell every other seat. Passengers had to be spaced out. Seems to me there wouldn't be enough people flying to bother having a flight. I wouldn't open yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of us stranded outside. Exactly, I don't understand all the negative reaction by others, Both me and my wife are stuck in the US and we are anxious to get back. We are not the only ones. You never know how much you miss something until you cant have it. This is a positive step in the right directions. And for all of those who cant find anything good with anything Thailand does, The article say that the airport will be ready for normal operations, nowhere do the claim that the airlines will be ready for normal operations. That is up to the airlines. They can only do their part, airlines and others have to do theirs. By the way, the airline landscape when we emerge from this , will be changed . Expect to see consolidations, mergers, and bankruptcies. Initial low prices to entice travel and do to low fuel prices. , but eventual less choice. and do to "supply and demand" higher prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boomer6969 Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Petchou said: The article below says the opposite, the ban on flights, will be extended http://www.nationthailand.com/news/30386832 Yep, it has been confirmed on the most prominent English written Thai Newspaper's website that International scheduled passenger flights won't resume before May 31. This makes a great deal of sense as there is an apparent disparity between the COVID situations in Thailand and that of most other foreign countries. Thailand is right in protecting itself from COVID cases import. Protect the investment in sacrifices made so far par the Thai people.

No bailout of the poor, no currency devaluation. CAD to THB 18 AUD to THB 14 USD to THB 40 very soon Ummm.... If USD to THB hits 40 that would mean there is currency devaluation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that you will not get back anytime in the near future to Thailand...Then there is the 14 day CDC recommended quarantine in the US for any travelers arriving from an International destination. My flight out on May 31st was rearranged to fly in such a circuitous route and my return trip was canceled so I instead will see a local endocrinologist here in Bangkok to have my check-up.

nong38 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I can hear the roar of engines over the horizon already as the sky will soon be full of aircraft heading for the Mecca of the masses Thailand!

Nowhere did I say that the boarders were open " The article say that the airport will be ready for normal operations, nowhere do the claim that the airlines will be ready for normal operations. That is up to the airlines. " Opening the airport is up to the government Flying to that airport is up to the airlines, if they don't want to fly there for what ever reason they don't have to. That "unless you are a Thai, then you are banned from entering Thailand until at least May 31st. " is not correct , " The Thai Embassy said foreigners holding a valid work permit and foreign diplomats will also be allowed to enter the country, though they will also need to present a health certificate and health insurance." https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2020/03/26/thailand-closes-border-bans-entry-for-foreigners/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I took your comments at face value. Once the government opens the borders THEN it will be up to the airlines with regard international flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
