Upnotover Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) EVA still flying direct weekly, otherwise can go Lufthansa via Frankfurt, KLM via Amsterdam or Qatar via Doha. Edited May 29, 2020 by Upnotover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Next Eva Air is on Sunday, May 31. Seems like they have reduced to one per week? They have. Only on Sundays. Still a couple of flights to other European destinations like Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpusChristie Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have some friends who last week flew back to Amsterdam (From BKK) with KLM with recently purchased tickets , quite sure you could get a connecting flight to London from Amsterdam .

Just make sure/inquire whether you will stay in transit as leaving the transit area might cause problems. BTW, nice coincidence with this thread (Bangkok - London on Lufthansa): https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1166156-flight-bangkok-to-london-on-lufthansa-this-evening/ Edited May 29, 2020 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo0 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have a friend leaving on eva tomorrow and I’m on the one next week. Swiss air are doing the route with one short stop in Zurich for a hour or so but it’s half price of eva flight which is 20000bht for economy. British Airways are due to start same route direct in July . Although they advertised it for last 2 months and cancelled them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proboscis Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 21 hours ago, steve187 said: haven't stopped just a restricted service Agreed. The flights never stopped. For instance, Eva Air still runs about one per week, as I understand it. The flight holds are probably full of freight, given that the number of freight flights are very limited. For instance, there appears to be only one flight for DHL running from Bangkok to Vientiane when before Covid there was one per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an enforced quarantine like Thailand, you have to give the address you are staying at, they can check up to see if you are there but impossible to police as hundreds of thousands of people fly into the Uk everyday, through the the Channel Tunnel and arrive by ferry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he went to the agent they couldn't at the time find any information. So when he told me a few days later I said I would look on the net. I tried Eva website but no joy. Looked at another couple of sites, still no definite information. So yesterday I tried the font of all knowledge and got the info that he needed.

natway09 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 They never really stopped. Qatar & Eva still have limited flights. I see a gradual increase after end of July as there are not that many wanting to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falang1969 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The strange thing is TG916 BKK-LHR is still flying almost every other day. But you can't book a seat on it. I wonder if there is actually anyone on it or is it just empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxper Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Flights still available and have been through the lockdown. I agree limited options but they are available. I think EVA runs on Sundays from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your friends or family can collect you from the airport, port or station. Only use public transport if you have no other option. If you do use public transport, wear something that covers your nose and mouth and stay 2 metres apart from other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect - there are not hundreds of thousands arriving every day at the moment - there are some, mostly UK residents that have been stuck abroad . Also, is it quite easy to check you are at the quarantine address. You have to give a phone number for the address and if you don't answer when they call, you will be fined £1000 + if you are not a legal UK resident, you will be deported. I hope genuine travellers don't do as you are suggesting because the government have stated that if the 'home' qurantine is abused they will either make it mandatory at a government facilty or cancel it altogether. I'm waiting for the day I can travel to Thailand and see my wife again - I'll happily home quarantine when I get back. What I, and hundreds, possibly thousands of others don't need is people behaving in the way you are suggesting and causing the quarantine concession to be cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, there are quite a few people that don't - especially the younger generation. So far nothing has been said about anyone arriving that cannot provide a phone number. Obviously a mobile proves nothing. All that's been said at the moment is that some sort of declaration will have to be completed prior to departure so I guess the airline will be handing those out. People who don't complete them won't be allowed in. If they are not tough enough with it, I can see the system being abused and simply cancelled.
