A bit more difficult now for the uber-rich British tourists to get here.

Which airline will be the next one to cancel?

Any other ideas TAT?

Eventually the reduced international travel will result in the near collapse of the airline industry

Yeah, the long-haul, international self-loading freight (leisure and business) faces significant hurdles in a long, long term recovery.

 

Domestic airlines are faring better, certainly in the U.S.

 

International air-cargo has worked out well for some operators.

Where a customer’s flight is cancelled, we always contact them to offer options including a full refund.  Customers who are unable to travel, or choose not to, can also continue to change their flights or request a voucher for future use as part of our Book with Confidence policy, which has been available since the beginning of the pandemic.”

I would argue a book with confidence program involve no risk of flight cancellation. 
 

Hope they don’t take ‘months’ to refund like all other carriers have during Covid. 
 

An airline which does this looses loyalty as future confidence in the carrier wanes. 
 

Meanwhile other carriers offer reliable solutions (i.e. Finn / Emirates/ Qatar), not direct, but reliable. 


 

Does this also mean the UK thinks Thailand is going to remove it from the Covid green list ???

When EVA Cancelled my flight for Cabin Crew Strike action, had to APPLY on their website for a Refund ! Not Automatic. Paid in few days though.  
Lufthansa offer best overall one -stop flight LDN - BKK via Europe in my experience. Hear Etihad via Abu Dhabi is best overall.

There's 4 that were coming other flights are a ridiculous return cost. 

My daughter gets concessions for her and family because she use to work for BA.

My middle son will probably find another way and come on his own we haven't seen each other in person over forty years.
