jojothai Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Just a note to remind people to check the IATA travel site for anything they may show. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com International-travel-document-news With many countries it does not currently help much because it just says there are currently no flights, and you have to look for more detail elsewhere. However, its going to be important to check what you can for destinations, and any transit points. Eg it is currently not possible to transit hong kong. Similar rules may apply in the middle east. Best check. Things may start happening quickly from end of may. Many countries seem to expect resumptions in june. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok lah. Better be here in Europe, I am waiting with great interest for Schengen to reopen. Santorini is also waiting for my money. And if I want Asian vibes, I am sure Bali will be open even sooner. Thailand can stay closed all they want, and people can travel between provinces with quarantine, whilst i travel internationally with no quarantine. In countries where there is common sense and military dictatorships are not playing silly games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 7 hours ago, at15 said: you guys are completely out to lunch, coronavirus is pretty much over in asia. Doubt if South Korea would agree. South Korea warned of a second wave of the new coronavirus on Sunday as infections rebounded to a one-month high, just as the authorities were starting to ease some pandemic restrictions. "It's not over until it's over," President Moon Jae-in told the nation, saying a new cluster shows the virus can spread widely at any time, and warning of a second wave late this year. https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/05/10/south-koreas-moon-warns-of-covid-19-second-wave-as-cases-rebound.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they really think you'll be allowed say a flight from Euro Zone to BKK via HK as early as August? I had a flight booked with Emirates for 1st August and last week they altered the timings. When I booked I think there were about 20 combinations available BKK to MAN and it appears they have cut that down to about half. There must be a fairly strong view that the flights will take place for them to reschedule. Emirates are a bit ahead of the curve, they have on trial a blood test that can be done at check in. BTW I didn't accept the changes they made, claimed a voucher and got it within 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKF Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 it is certainly not a BKKAIR livery. Since when they have 737 (which this is) with redish/organge/purple colored engines. Could be Lion by the white tail and the logo visible and the logo on the side but they have red/orange winglets usually. However not BKK AIR and it is 737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobD Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Ive read some interesting thoughts on what possibly may come on June 1st. Ill add my thoughts being in America. I do agree with the standard protocol of a 2 week quarantine (either by a separate location/or tracked at an intended address). The Fit to Fly protocol I think will be in use of COVID19 insurance along with a certificate of having no Covid19. As of right now, it looks like Americans may not be allowed to fly to Thailand, but whats interesting is that during the time of the China crisis from a few months ago, Chinese people were able to travel to Thailand. Perhaps Thailand may change their mind on this second time around and be more restrictive to certain countries like the US. According to the COVID-19 cases by the chart, it looks like America is improving in the number of cases starting from about 10 days to 2 weeks ago. Yes, some states are starting to rise, though other places are starting to fall. I dont know if AMerica will make the cut by June 1st if Americans can fly to Thailand but it may be 'just' enough time assuming the trend continues.

A letter from doctors within 72 hours you don,t have the virus ? Where in Seattle for example am i to find this test ? Asking for things that are NOT possible to get in any countries. Expect foreigners to come back? Better have the tests ready on arrival at the airport in Bangkok. No one is going to bother with all the visa etc etc hassles. My sentiment exactly. *already expressed previously. The government has to offer insurance coverage issued by the government in the ticket price of the traveler. Plus usual tests on arrival. Most insurance companies are excluding virus coverage now. So offer the possible. Don't ask for the impossible.
