With EVA Air from Amsterdam to Thailand and then with Bangkok Air to Cambodia, can suitcases be relabeled?
Dear readers,
We will leave in 2 weeks with EVA Air from Amsterdam to Thailand. After arriving in Bangkok we continue to Cambodia with Bangkok Airways and return to Thailand after a tour. It is not entirely clear to us whether your suitcases can be relabeled by EVA Air at Schiphol for our flight to Cambodia?
Is there anyone who has experience with this and can advise us if this is not possible? Our transfer time at BKK is approximately 2 hours and seems very short to me. Experience has taught us that passport control can cause us a problem.
I look forward to your response.
Regards,
reg
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
If you have separate tickets for both flights, you will not be able to relabel your luggage. Bangkok Airways changed its policy to this effect several years ago.
Right, so that's a risk.
I have checked:
Bangkok Air also flies to Phnom Penh at 17.35pm and also at 21.50pm.
Change the transit flight to one of these departure times and you can start your holiday without stress.
reg.
A 2-hour transfer is on the tight side. It was mentioned earlier that EVA often has delays with departures from AMS, just take a look at flightradar24 for the flight history of flight BR76.
Say that you will land with a half hour delay, then proceed to immigration, also half an hour (low season). Waiting for your suitcase and walking to check-in also takes half an hour. then I am already at 1,5 hours and that is already too late to check in at bkk-air.
You can go to/through immigration with priority, but that costs approximately €50 per person
I did the same EVA and Bkk-air-domistic but took 4 hours to Suvarnabhumi.
Succes
Dear questioner, 2 hours of transfer time will make you miss the flight with Bangkok Airways to Cambodia. EVA Air always departs from AMS with a delay and then you also have to go through passport control and check in again. Try to book a later flight or overnight in Lat Krabang to continue your journey the next day. Good luck
Hi
I would call EvaAir and also Bangkok Airways so you know for sure
It may be that the offering has been delivered but remains stuck in bkk
If you have to get out and pick up your suitcases, it will take at least an hour, then you will have to go to the 4th floor and check in at Bangkok Air on D, and then you will have to go to that gate again via passport control, also at least an hour.
So short question. eva and Bangkok Air then if it is possible just follow transit, success.
Ps fly bk airway today would also ask
Relabelling is only possible if 2 airlines have mutual cooperation. I don't know about these 2
That's right, EVA Air is Star Alliance and Bangkok Airways is Skyteam
A side note: labeling the suitcase is no guarantee that it will actually be forwarded. A British couple I am friends with checked into Qatar in the UK in mid-December and their luggage was retagged to Chiang Rai, via a domestic Thai Airways flight. These were separate tickets. At Suvarnabhumi they turned out to be unable to remain in transit because Thai Airways did not want to take over the luggage and they had to pick it up and then go back to the departure hall via immigration and customs to check in again.
Years BC flew from Amsterdam to Bangkok. Suitcases always labeled without any problem.
In Phnom Penh they did this without asking.
Give Eva a call.
Have a nice trip!
Also remember that check-in usually closes 40 to 50 minutes before departure. So if your Bangkok Air flight departs 2 hours after arrival, you have just over an hour...
Bangkok Air and Eva Air have codeshares, so they simply continue to be labeled.
We always fly with Eva Air from Amsterdam to Changmai. We have 1 ticket. Luggage always passes perfectly. For Cambodia I would indeed inquire.
In any case, check whether you are even departing from the same airport. 2 hours is also too short, I think you have to check in 2 hours in advance, you won't make it.
I don't know when Bangkok Airways changed its policy, but in the past I always flew with Cathy Pacific (so I first changed planes in Hong Kong) and was always able to have my luggage relabeled at Schiphol on the Bangkok Airways flight to Phnom Penh without any problems, and As far as I know, these 2 companies are not in the same alliance,
At the end of April I will fly to Bkk with Austrian and then continue to Phnom Penh with Thai and assume that this will be possible without any problems.
Your luggage will simply be forwarded to Siem Reap. No problem. I fly it regularly. No problem
Dear Fred, thank you for your positive response. Did you also fly with Eva to BKK and then on with Bangkok Airways and did you have 1 or 2 tickets?
R is labeled by I just got back, Eva Air and Bangkok Airways just work together
Mraco, did you have 1 or 2 tickets?
E I had a transfer of 1 hour and 40 minutes, it went fine
