Our flight to Bangkok for a total amount of € 2.200 (2 persons) departing on June 20, 2020 has been canceled by Swiss Air. Last Thursday I received an e-mail that our flight on June 20 would continue, but with changed departure times. A day later, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has banned all flights to Thailand until July 1. So yesterday I called to see what the situation was and then they canceled our flight. Now when I enter my booking code on the Swiss website, I get the message “your reservation UOR… has been deleted”.
I have noticed that the prices of domestic flights in Thailand have risen seriously, even doubled. Is this only because of the corona measures that this has risen so spectacularly? As an example: Nok Air has gone from 750 baht one way to 1500 baht in the light tickets.

I booked tickets for me and my family through BudgetAir. Given the situation with Covid19 I am apprehensive about this trip. Will she continue? Will I also get back, if there is a resurgence of the epidemic in July?
Reader question: Covid-19 and Budget Air refund
I live in Belgium and have already booked flights through Budget Air several times and was always very satisfied with it. Normally I would leave for Thailand on April 14th with Qatar Airlines and a domestic flight to Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways on April 21st. I already received a message from both airlines a month ago that my flights were canceled due to Covid-19 and that I am entitled to a full refund through Budget Air. I received 2 emails from Budget Air that due to the large crowds I don't have to contact them and that everything would take a few weeks.
Reader question: Rebook flight tickets for Thailand
We have tickets from Eva Air for July 2, but we want to suspend them. Does anyone have experience, or can someone tell me whether we can rebook these tickets, and if so, the costs? Or have we just lost everything? The tickets have been booked through Gate1, their site still says that the tickets CANNOT be rebooked. Seems very strange to me with all the fuss that is going on right now.
We want to go to Thailand for the second time this year. The period does not matter to us because we are retired. When is the best time to book a flight ticket with EVA Air or KLM for the best price? We read about 3 months before departure.
The Dutch government wants to make flying more expensive with a European air passenger tax

Usually I fly directly with EVA Air from Amsterdam to Bangkok but I think the tickets are too expensive at the moment. A flight with a company that offers a connection is usually cheaper. I did that once at the old airport in Abu Dhabi and I was quite disappointed. It was very busy and not enough seats while waiting. Long lines and chaos at the security check when boarding for the flight to Bangkok, in short, a mess. Who has better experiences with a transfer and with which airline?

I have a question about allowing our 30 Thai children aged 2 and 14 to come to the Netherlands for a visit (holiday 17 days). For the visa you need airline tickets for the outward and return journey, how do I arrange this without already paying it due to a possible refusal of their Schengen visa!
Booked tickets twice, how do we get our money back?
I have a question about booking airline tickets online in Bangkok for an Emirates flight, booked through Cheaptickets.th. After entering the data, the message Failure, try again in half an hour. That was what we did, in the meantime the flight had become 100 Euro more expensive. The next day we now had 2 bookings on the same flight. Now 3 weeks and many emails and phone calls later still being refused to cancel the second booking.
KLM and the Consumers' Association have not reached agreement in talks about removing the no-show provision from the general terms and conditions. That is why the Consumers' Association is going to cross legal swords with the airline.
