Reader question: Bangkok Airways is difficult about a booked flight
We (2 Belgians) have also booked a flight from Phuket to Bangkok with Bangkok Airways at the end of July 2020. This flight has not been canceled by either Bangkok Airways or us. Because we couldn't leave for Thailand because of Corona, we couldn't take a domestic flight either. We have contacted Bangkok Airways prior to flight date.
Domestic flights are possible again in Thailand. However, as I am now in the Netherlands and have booked a domestic return flight Bangkok – Koh Samui for the month of July in the past, I will not be able to use this ticket, because it is expected that you will not be able to come to Thailand in July. Will Bangkok Airways honor a refund request? Does anybody have experience with this?
