richchris Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited January 11, 2022 by richchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richchris Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: https://www.thaiairways.com/en_GB/plan/travel_information/travel_requirements.page if heading to UK go to the section: FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateral flow technology can be used for many types of tests, not just COVID. ITS MEANINGLESS. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
