Which airlines are actually flying out of Thailand right now?

[JCP108]

I have had my ANA ticket originally scheduled in March cancelled and re-booked and cancelled over and over. They can reschedule (again) but they tell me no guarantee that it will actually fly. Anyone know of people actually getting on a plane and flying out of Thailand these days? If so, which airline?

It might help if you indicated where you are planning to fly to.

I get almost daily emails from Qatar touting flights out of Thailand and on to Europe and elsewhere on their network. Philippine Airlines also has a flight to Manila later this month. If you check the American Embassy FB page, they often post about what airlines are currently flying out of Thailand. I would think they must have some good information on this with the American government's intelligence budget.

To the US as of last month: : Korean Air, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Japan Airlines, Air Asiana, and Lufthansa.

Does that mean you, or someone you know, actually flew from Thailand to the U.S. on one of those or that they were selling tickets for the flights?

Thanks. I appreciate that advice. Getting info from the embassy seems potentially quite helpful. Will do that. I get those emails, too. But, I don't trust them anymore than the ANA booking agents who keep booking my flights.

See my post above.

 

US Embassy sends out this info monthly to those who registered with it. And yes, peopekl have posted on here who took these flights.

 

I've heard good things re Asiana (in terms of being reasonably relaxed COVID-wise).  And they have a seat option which lets you get a larger/roomier seat in economy for nto too much extra.

Comparing the US Embassy with what you call "ANA booking agents" makes no sense. The embassy makes no flight reservations, sells no airline tickets, does not collect money from you or charge your credit or debit card.

The embassy updates their list of airlines flying out of Thailand to assist Americans (and others) who are facing the visa amnesty countdown...so they can plan flights out if necessary.

Plan flights! Do you mean the embassy or citizens? Do you know have the Us arranged any flights for folk here,seems Thailand has gone all out to do so for its citizens. Oz did some early now is now piggybacking on outward Thai repat flights.

The Bangkok embassy has not arranged any US citizen repatriation flights from Thailand because commercial flights have been available throughout the current crisis...unlike in the Philippines, where the US Embassy did officially organize at least two repatriation flights from Manila to the United States.

The post to which I was responding mentioned ads from Qatar Airlines. Those were the emails that I was acknowledging also getting, not emails from the embassy.

The reason you're having trouble with ANA is they fly Bangkok to Haneda (BKK-HND) and Narita to USA (NRT-LAX/ORD/JFK etc). You are currently not allowed to enter Japan to transfer between the 2 airports.

 

JAL does BBK-NRT and NRT to the US. You don't leave "airside" which means you technically don't enter Japan.

I have flown ANA many times before between Thailand and the U.S. without switching airports though I am aware that some of their ticket combos do that. When I booked the flights, I specifically clarified with the agent that I would not be switching airports and they booked the connection at the same airport. Then, each time, they switched the flight to the other airport then cancelled the ticket. I will see if JAL can get me from here to the U.S. Thanks for the advice.
