Compensation for the passengers emotional distress and missed connections etc ?

EVA is a good airline, unlike Thai.  They will certainly provide hotels and rebook everyone.

I flew EVA back to Bangkok from London  and when we landed  some of the passengers gave a round of applause.. as they say any landing you can walk away from is a good landing,I hope you are correct and the passengers are compensated 👍

Thai airways wouldn't rebook everyone?

Eva is ok but not an amazing airline by any stretch. 

If this was Thai no doubt you would be harping on about Thai and lack of maintenance.

Thai is one of the airlines that during covid times cancelled flights, left people stranded, and then refused to issue refunds for the cancelled flights.

 

I'm sure Thai would eventually rebook people, but who knows how many days later, and probably with no compensation.

Nothing wrong with Thai, depending on where you want to fly to.

Covid ended five years ago maybe? Lots of airlines hit trouble, not only Thai.

If Thai had an emergency landing today would they not rebook passengers just as Eva did?

Eventually.  Maybe in a month or two when they had spare seats.

Right, of course.

Just a typical Thai bashing bitter old AN poster. Ridiculous.

What emotional distress? Pilots don't tell passengers the full details to keep idiots from panicking and inflicting their  stupid screamin and wails on other pax.. The pilot will say there is an issue that they are working to resolve and if they have to turn back and burn off fuel will say that and nothing else, until there is a need to prepare for a difficult landing. 

 

The flight originates in TPE, does a 5th freedom stop in BKK and then departs for LHR. The LHR bound passengers will be protected by the UK 261 regulations which mirror the EU protections.

 If the connections are on the same flight booking, the misconnect gets automatically rebooked. If it is a separate ticket, the pax deals with it. The airline isn't liable for nonlinked  flights.

 

The frequent flyers won't get much extra  from EVA. EVA Miles isn't particularly generous to anyone.

My EVA business class flight from BKK to san francisco is in a few days.  It cost me just 75K miles.  Thats the cheapest redemption I know of for any airline on that route.  Costs me about 750 USD equivalent in miles earned from credit card points.  I would call that quite generous.

Well done some good news for a change🤔

 

Hah! If it had been a THAI aircraft, you would have been leading the charge with @BigBilly on high cost, poor service, rampant corruption, old airplanes and painting the tail fin black.

What happened to dumping the fuel in an emergency situation - don't they do that any more?

 

 Fuel dumping is done over the sea, not over land. The flight was originally headed NW, away from the sea, so having it urn and circle over the Gulf would have taken more time and probably more disruptive to other air traffic.

EVA has gone downhill just like Cathay.

 

 

 

I haven't flown Cathay in ages until last month, long-haul HKG-MAN. Wasn't too bad, but they didn't board in groups at either BKK or HKG, like most other airlines. Got wise to that at HKG and played the doddering senior and 'barged' my way in near the front. Food service at the back of the bus was a bit haphazard looking on both flights, with an attendant running back and forth, balancing extra trays as their food carts were emptied.

 

Also, their 777 on the BKK-HKG hop was 21 years old, which makes EVA's 777 involved in the above incident a mere whippersnapper at 7 years old.

I doubt that as I'm on one in 3 weeks 🤔
