Covid requirement to fly thaiair with kids

[richchris]

Situation:

 

All British

 

Me vaccinated,

Kids under 11 unvaccinated.

 

From the phone call to service department, I understood we need an ATK lateral flow test to board with thai air.

 

I understand the updated requirement to enter UK, just trying to be sure of the requirement to board Thai Air itself

 

Thanks

The bone in the throat is a possible  PCR test imposed by the airlines despite  it not being a UK requirement. Unfortunately  you might need to use  Twitter  or FB to contact  Thai  Air or I suggest  ask your travel  agent

Yep not sure - when I called it sounded like lateral flow for all of us, but the language barrier concerns me. FB: no answer for days, unless someone has been through this, I'll probably run into the actual ticket desk a couple of days in advance! Cheers

I set up a whole  thread about this but many people could just not grasp the issue so I closed it down.

There's no such test.

 

They're called Antigen tests.

You waste your life making posts like this?

 

The answer to my own question is no test at all required for any of us. Source: 2nd call and confirmation from Thai Air customer services who clearly understood this part and the UK part too (passenger locator + need to book lateral flow for all before departure). All printed of course. Do your own research but I'm satisfied with the answer this time - their website, though ambiguous is exactly as you require to board with them:

FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM

Thanks for providing proof I was correct.  ATK tests use lateral flow technology.

 

Lateral flow technology can be used for many types of tests, not just COVID. 

 

ITS MEANINGLESS. ????
