Repatriation flights LHR-BKK can now be booked directly online on the TG website. But only flights on 4, 11, 18 October are available.

Wow - they'll soon fill up i guess.

 

Maybe they're scared of losing business now coz other airlines are flying to thailand?

TG have one advantage. Thai government will provide free quarantine for Thais returning to Thailand so long as they fly TG. The embassy website says that you can now get a COE if you fly with another airline such as EVA and Emirates. But I just tried the EVA website and could find no flights available.

And with Emirates you have to contend with their Covid requirements as well as Thailand's

I suspect that there's an overlap but tbh haven't fully investigated it.

Plenty of flights available on ba from November daily to Bkk , but doesn’t mean they are going to fly as I found out when getting out of Thailand ( advertised but cancelled always near flight date ) . Think most airlines are covering the flights incase service resumes as near normal and also if people book and pay they can try fob them off with not returning money and offering flight vouchers for later dates instead.

there a dubai health declaration form to fill in - says you can do this at the counter or print and fill it in before you get to the airport.

 

anyone using emirates should mindful of the need to have a printed negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate. emirates fly from T2 and from my enquiries, the only printing there is in the airport lounge.

Which is what my link above says!

T2? Which airport - you don't specify but I'm assuming you mean Dubai as opposed to your departure airport?

And be careful,,,, the lounges in some airports have applied restricted services recently - better to print everything you need before you get to the airport.

Emirates do not fly from Terminal 2 at Dubai airport so not sure what he means.

But they do from LHR which was the original subject of this thread.

Believe BA 9/10 remains cargo-only, flying 3 or 4 times weekly.

Ah yes...... the subject is London but the OP mentions LHR.

In normal times Emirates also fly to & from LGW, North Terminal. 

So how are foreigners who are returning to Thailand from the UK getting there if Thai Itner has essentially not been flying repat' flights from London (well only 2 or 3 a month I presume).

 

I only recall about 3 last month and 3 this month? But I have not been following too close I admit.

 

How have UK returnees with work permits been getting back, or have the not?

 

I am a little confused on this.

TG is now flying LHR BKK every Sunday. Flights can be booked on the TG website. Flights are now available up to the end of the year. To get a Certificate of Entry you must first register here: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/

 

To register you need photo or pdf of passport, photo or pdf of visa, photo or pdf of work permit/marriage certificate, photo or pdf of insurance with C19 cover

 

After your registration has been approved, to get a CoE you need to upload to the coethailand website your confirmed flight booking and your confirmed quarantine hotel booking

 

To get on the plane you need the above, plus a declaration form and the T8 form, and a doctor's Fit to Fly letter and a Covid test BOTH done within 72 hours of the flight departure.

 

TG departs Sunday 9.25 pm so you need the covid test done and the letter issued after 9.25 pm Thursday

 

Doctor's letter must state "XXX is Fit to fly". If it doesn't they will not let you on the plane no matter what medical wording your doctor uses
