Why are international flights cancelled??

[Mac Mickmanus]

Anyone know the situation with flights from C.M to BKK ?

Flights can be bought with Thai Viet jet for this Friday , but the departure board only shows everything cancelled and no flights .

   Are there flights from CM to BKK ?

I am sure to have read that Vietjet as the other domestic operators have shut down operation completely until at least end of July.

The flight would violate the official order that forbids domestic flights in/out deep red.

(with very few exceptions to Phuket and Samui)

Wasn't easy to find and only a message in Thai on their website.

All domestic flights suspended until August 1.

(for now)

 

A bit offtopic now...

And... I Just sawn a news report about the UK opening up with maskless clubbers dancing shoulder to shoulder.

Dancers interviewed were like naive children. 

Boris was saying we have to open up sometime - from quarantine lol. Shutdown incoming in 3,2,1...

 

On topic; I tried to book an EVA Air ticket from SeaTac to Samui+ via the sealed route and got "ERROR" message when confirming. Then Korean Air would book it but it was $3,200 an economy seat with 11.5 hour layover in BKK. No thanks.

Do you have mileage points with OneWorld or Star Alliance? These may still work with partner airlines and usually are easy to cancel or rebook.

I came with mileage points with Qatar mid January for an equivalent of around $350 USD one way.

Yes, but I intended to fly from CM > BKK > UK and dont want to get a CM-UK flight if the CM > BKK leg will be cancelled . 

   I just looked at their own website and they are taking bookings from Aug 1 st , everything prior to that is cancelled

You wrote "this Friday" "are there flights"

Answer no.

Will there be flights on/after Aug 1 is in the crystal ball.

I am surprised that they accept bookings for Aug 1 contrary their statement 21 to 1 Aug incl.

And that is what I see on their site:

(On August 2 they show flights but don't bet your life on that. All depends on Covid situation)

Just did a bit of research on a booking site and it seems like Vietjet begin their flights on 31 st July and other flight companies being flying the next day

Good luck and bye bye.

That flight status link is useless.

 

Use the airline's app, website, and view your reservation. You would get notifications (app or email) of any changes.

or use an independent site like https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/bkk/departures

 

 

Looks like three dailies yesterday, Are you flying BKK-DOH or DOH-BKK?

 

 

Scanned the thread.

 

Go overland, do not book a ticket CNX-UK, Book BKK-UK-BKK, assuming you can get to Bangkok. Plenty of room, get to Bangkok then issue the QR ticket, would be my advice today. You could issue a ticket at SBIA/BKK a few hours before the flight.

as before, no thanks..

Do you have an option or choice? Do you have a place to live in the UK? In reality life seems to be getting back to normal  there. Waiting to die of neglect here in Thailand does not seem much of an option.

That is just Thai Smile who suspended flights until 3 August , AirAsia made a similar announcement that they will suspend flights until July 31st

A board full of flights with 9x% cancelled.

That is true since long.

Showing flights like nothing happened.

Don't know why they can't clean up the flight schedules.

I took this picture in June 2020:

(all three flights in green would be shown as cancelled today )

But how will they make it appear as a busy airport with only a few flights to fill up 4-5 massive screens!

Should just remove everything except flights that are actually scheduled... not scheduled 1 year ago.

 

Hopefully sooner than later the board goes from "Cancelled cancelled cancelled" to "scheduled scheduled scheduled" for international flights.

That's great. Thanks. I saw on TAT News that a return ticket is said to be required for the Samui+ program.

"Have booked and purchased return air travel"

https://www.tatnews.org/2021/07/samui-plus-faqs/

 

We want to move permanently to Thailand and would like a one-way ticket.

 

I have some Star Alliance but never have bothered using any ...before this mess.

Apparently they update the list tomorrow so who knows if they will make any changes.

THAILAND

 

Thailand is one of the few countries that are on the  safe list of  Spain, so anybody (regardless of their nationality) who has been in Thailand for more than 45 days can travel to Spain without any restrictions. Spain's safe list will be reviewed again next Friday 23/07
