In a generous move, Thai Airways is granting their passengers fee-free changes and refunds following the recent earthquake that rocked Thailand.

 

The national airline has opened the doors for passengers with tickets issued globally before March 29, allowing them to alter their travel dates without cost for journeys between March 28 and April 10.

 

This comes after a powerful tremor originating in Myanmar reached into Thailand, causing disturbances and worry.

For those on international flights, the new travel dates must occur before April 11, and while no change, no-show, or agency fees apply, passengers may need to pay if their new booking falls into a higher fare bracket.

 

Domestic travellers enjoy even greater flexibility with fare differences also being waived, letting them rest a bit easier in this unsettling time.

 

 

 

Refunds are on the table too. If Thai Airways flights continue as normal but travellers wish to change plans, they can either claim a refund under the original ticket conditions or opt for a travel credit valid for a year, offering flexibility for future journeys. Meanwhile, anyone affected by cancellations will see unused tickets refunded in full, free of any further fees.

 

Passengers eager to adjust their plans should reach out to the THAI Contact Centre or other authorised channels to arrange these changes. This logistical flexibility follows after the devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, sending tremors across the region, resulting in building damages as far as Bangkok.

 

The quake has tragically claimed at least 144 lives in Myanmar with injuries surpassing 730, a figure expected to rise, according to military leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.

 

Amid the disaster, Thai Airways' adaptive response provides some solace for travellers trying to navigate this challenging time, aiming to keep their plans flexible while ensuring safety.
