pj123 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Repatriation flights LHR-BKK can now be booked directly online on the TG website. But only flights on 4, 11, 18 October are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashBrownHarry Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Wow - they'll soon fill up i guess. Maybe they're scared of losing business now coz other airlines are flying to thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj123 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) TG have one advantage. Thai government will provide free quarantine for Thais returning to Thailand so long as they fly TG. The embassy website says that you can now get a COE if you fly with another airline such as EVA and Emirates. But I just tried the EVA website and could find no flights available.

And with Emirates you have to contend with their Covid requirements as well as Thailand's https://www.emirates.com/au/english/help/covid-19/dubai-travel-requirements/tourists/ I suspect that there's an overlap but tbh haven't fully investigated it.

ronaldo0 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Plenty of flights available on ba from November daily to Bkk , but doesn’t mean they are going to fly as I found out when getting out of Thailand ( advertised but cancelled always near flight date ) . Think most airlines are covering the flights incase service resumes as near normal and also if people book and pay they can try fob them off with not returning money and offering flight vouchers for later dates instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what my link above says! T2? Which airport - you don't specify but I'm assuming you mean Dubai as opposed to your departure airport? And be careful,,,, the lounges in some airports have applied restricted services recently - better to print everything you need before you get to the airport.

Ah yes...... the subject is London but the OP mentions LHR. In normal times Emirates also fly to & from LGW, North Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRToMRT Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) So how are foreigners who are returning to Thailand from the UK getting there if Thai Itner has essentially not been flying repat' flights from London (well only 2 or 3 a month I presume). I only recall about 3 last month and 3 this month? But I have not been following too close I admit. How have UK returnees with work permits been getting back, or have the not? I am a little confused on this. Edited October 1, 2020 by MRToMRT font size error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights can be booked on the TG website. Flights are now available up to the end of the year. To get a Certificate of Entry you must first register here: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/ To register you need photo or pdf of passport, photo or pdf of visa, photo or pdf of work permit/marriage certificate, photo or pdf of insurance with C19 cover After your registration has been approved, to get a CoE you need to upload to the coethailand website your confirmed flight booking and your confirmed quarantine hotel booking To get on the plane you need the above, plus a declaration form and the T8 form, and a doctor's Fit to Fly letter and a Covid test BOTH done within 72 hours of the flight departure. TG departs Sunday 9.25 pm so you need the covid test done and the letter issued after 9.25 pm Thursday Doctor's letter must state "XXX is Fit to fly". If it doesn't they will not let you on the plane no matter what medical wording your doctor uses Edited October 1, 2020 by pj123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
