Airbus A350-900 (Arocha Jitsue / Shutterstock.com)

Thai Airways International (THAI) will resume flights between Bangkok and Brussels from November. The airline had suspended all its flights due to the corona pandemic and was also in a debt restructuring process.

The scheduled service was supposed to be restarted earlier, but that has been postponed time and time again, now it seems to be serious.

Thailand is gradually opening up to foreign visitors. It is expected that entry conditions will be further relaxed in November and the enlightened 7-day quarantine for fully vaccinated foreign visitors will be cancelled. The condition is that at least 70% of the Thai population in tourist areas has been vaccinated.

THAI wants to fly from Bangkok to Brussels every Wednesday and Friday with an Airbus A350-900. The return flight takes place on Thursday and Saturday.

    Does anyone know what about if you want to go to koh samui via the sandbox and you have a return flight via bangkok? I have read that your flight ticket to koh samui must be made in the same booking as your return flight. Separate bookings are not accepted. Anybody have experience with this? I have seen tickets from thai airways for January, then I want to go to thailand with the samui sandbox, but because of this I don't dare to book the tickets yet..

    You MUST not fly back from Samui, but then you have to book 2 one way flights which is much more expensive. But I see you are going in January, by then the Sandbox programs will no longer apply. Assuming you are fully vaccinated. You can simply book a return ticket to Bangkok and fly on to Samui if you want to go there.

    Thai airways now has a mega promotion. Return Brussels – Bangkok 408 euros. Book until 10 October. Fly between October 31 and March 26.

      Willem, you should click through and do a few simulations … I don't understand how they arrive at 408 euros, I always end up with 700 or 800 euros…

      I booked October 10 directly with Thai Airways 60 days return Brussels-Bangkok from December 16. Lowest fair € 568.99………a nice price though. Let's hope that the 1 week ASQ Hotel booking is no longer necessary by then.. I'll wait and see

    Is it mandatory to wear a mouth mask during the flight from Brussels to Bangkok,

    • Cornelis says up

      I fear that this will still be the rule for all airlines for the time being…

    Sounds fantastic, but will they also make a mega return payment for tickets sold if the flights are canceled this time too. In the meantime, they have built up a solid reputation with regard to announcing and not flying, as well as with regard to non-refund…
    All clearly stated on TB:

      Perhaps a warning could be placed above the article, and then also that bookings should not be made in view of the current financial situation and the non-refund of flights that have already been paid for but have not been carried out. Just a little while and you will read that Sabena will offer flights to Phuket and that you can book them through D-travel or Thomas Cook, all of which are also bankrupt. Just book a ticket with a reliable airline, it is already difficult to come to Thailand and you don't want to get a headache by booking with a company that is technically bankrupt and has a lot of debt and where you can only hope that after payment is going to be flown or that you, like many others, can whistle for your money.

    @ Ger-Korat such a warning above the article would be useful on the one hand to protect the consumer. On the other hand, they can never start up if people remain afraid to book with Thai Airways because of past bad management.

    That is why publishing a warning is too far-reachingly harmful, both for Thai Airways and for potential customers who wish to use their services.

    Thai Airways should be aware of the lack of confidence in the market to book back with them. The mega promotions point out that they have to go low to attract customers. Whether this will not lead to even more loss and even less chance of a sustainable restart is the question.

    Creating transparency about the consequences of unilateral cancellation by Thai Airways (voucher, refund guarantee, etc.) would be more confidence-inspiring.

    I used to be a fan of Thai Airways, partly because of the flight times that suited me and the good connections to various domestic destinations, but at the moment I am still hesitant to book.

    Up to you Thai Airways… to regain customer trust 🙂
