Never again ! Have used them loads in the past but have REALLY gone downhill. My recent experiences with Thai Airways were of long delays, aging aircraft, inability to get food requests ( submitted well in advance ) right, poor customer service. Never ever again they have lost my custom for life

No compassion on Thai Airways I had fallen and broke my foot while on holiday. Had booked a wheelchair but because that was pre booked I could not change my seats online. The doctor had written a letter to state that i should be upgraded to business class due to it being necessary to keep my foot elevated. Upon arrival at the airport they were not willing to change my seat not upgrade to business without paying the full fee. I begged if I could just sit there seeing the seat was available without any extra or at least pay a discounted fee, however they did not care even with a medical certificate.

An airline that brings dishonour to Thailand I had to reschedule a flight. It was impossible to do this online which is very unusual these days. Getting hold of anyone in customer services is an absolute nightmare. The phones are hopeless. If you search around online you may be lucky to get an email address that someone may answer. If you need any kind of money back then, after they have helped themselves to a sizeable slice of your pie, you will wait months and months. You will enter a fog of unknowing. There is no contact, no updates, no means of finding out anything. You hit an opaque wall through which light cannot penetrate. It wasn’t even as if this was a cheap ticket. We’re talking over £1000 (USD 1250) economy for LHR to CNX via BKK. This is an opaque airline which damages and dishonours Thailand.

One of the Finest Airlines in Asia In my experience Thai Airways by far is one of the finest and safest Airlines in Asia with great inflight service and food both in Business and Economy class . Yes it’s a fact their dates are higher than others and if they could match the market fares from other airlines, they could rule the Airline industry in Asia . And as frequent Flyer member they offer a range of services like extra luggage and lounge services and priority boarding , seat selection and choice of food options all free of charge . Staffs mostly cabin crews are friendly but ground staff well again to be honest they are not to praise worthy.

8 hour flight delay, no compensation I recently experienced a significant flight delay with Thai Airways, in total an 8-hour delay. This delay caused me to incur additional expenses: - an extra night's stay at the hotel - meals - transport Further, it led to missed meetings. Despite attempts to address and seek compensation for these inconveniences, I found the responses from Thai Airways to be unempathetic and unwilling to help. Additionally, some of the provided email addresses for contact were outdated or unreachable. This experience has significantly impacted my view of the airline and its customer service and taught me the value of flying with European airlines which are covered by European aviation regulations, which offer better passenger protection. Additionally, I have a preference for airlines with a predominantly Airbus fleet over Boeing, given the recent safety concerns surrounding Boeing.
