jaideeguy Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 A recent newspaper article on TV news clippings says that Nok air is going under. I just purchased a couple of tickets for flight in October this year and now wondering if and how I can get a refund or at least change to their parent company Thai airways?? or do I loose it if they go under??

ovenman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't think there will be any answer for your question until Nok Air actually does go under, if indeed that is to occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaideeguy Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Maybe to be on the safe side, I could refund and purchase ticket on TG??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minburi Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Also if you used a credit card you could contact your credit card company and find out if you have recourse that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Most CC cover this sort of thing, I assume you would get refund from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The most recent rumors I've heard is that they will suspend flights to Chiang Rai, Krabi and Ubon and will reduce frequency on some other routes. If you are impacted you should be able to get a full refund from Nok Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAILIBAN Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 it would be a pity indeed if this airline goes under, and this other odd airline with questionable safety standards, that already led to a tragedy, survives..... apart from that, any kind of competition is good for the market and the customers.... but in case it really happens, I think you will be on the safe side, as THAI AIRWAYS INTERNATIONAL is a major shareholder and they can not afford to NOT refund NOK-passengers. that would have a major impact on their reputation....

tw25rw Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think Thai would let them go under. I also would hope they would transfer you onto one of their flights if Nok had to suspend service. I'm actually fairly hopeful that this oil shock is just a bubble driven by unstable property and share markets and will correct itself, possibly with govt intervention..

wintermute Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nok is a great budget airline too. They are almost always on time when I fly with them and the counter service is always done with a smile. It would truly be a shame to see them go under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I just wish that I could get Star Alliance miles when I fly them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Airlines all over the world are in danger of going bankrupt. Not every airline, but in every region. Some will. Nok Air surely could. Thai Airways is not somehow immune to this (they own Nok Air, right?). Anyway, I bet you could get your money back no matter what don't expect it to be in a timely manner.

Goinghomesoon Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The Nation says the board are meeting today to decide the airline's fate. Hope they stay around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
