Thai cancelled the flight from… Thai cancelled the flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok, Oct 2023, and put the passengers through hell, not having a clear plan set up for hosting us at hotels, etc (I had to take my own cab to a hotel that eventually we heard about, an hour or so after waiting at luggage). Then I was put on another flight via Singapore, 1.5 days later. The flight was about Oct 10, 2023, and per EU regulations, Thai Air owed us compensation. Thai Air would bounce me around during calls & emails and finally said an office in the USA had to provide the compensation. It is now 19 April 2024, and I have yet to hear or receive anything from them. I will never book with Thai again and suggest you strongly consider other options yourself. Their flights may be cheaper than others, but you get what you pay for. In fact, you don't even get what you pay for at a lower price.

I had a good experience with Thai airways I had a good experience with Thai airways on my flight London-Bangkok. It was an overnight flight, seats were comfortable enough so I managed to sleep through most of the night. Film collection was a bit limited but there were some recent movies available. Food was a bit of a small portion and a bit tasteless, but was ok and perfectly edible. Their staff at the airport were helpful when we couldn't find my boyfriend's backpack, and called us promptly when the person who took it by mistake returned it.

No power to row of seats - no screen/charging/light/air ...... plus very little care 30 mins into flight the screens went blank along the row of three seats. I brought this to the attention of a flight attendant in the galley area – who was irritated but did offer to have a look as soon as possible. Waited 30 mins – nobody came to look at the screens. I asked another flight attendant who looked at the screens and said “I’ll get them reset”. Waited another hour - nothing happened. Asked yet another flight attendant who said “they will be reset”. I asked how long this might take – a shrug was the response. Over the next hour we asked attendants twice more about the progress with no further information being forthcoming – we had lost faith in the ‘it’s being reset’ comment. Now 2 hours 30 mins into the flight a ‘minor manager’ arrived to offer us “compensation” – a choice of ‘2500 Thai air miles’ or $100 off our next Thai Air flight. We explained that this was not compensation because as we were unlikely to fly to Thailand again the offer had no value to us. We asked to speak to the ‘manager’. After another 30 minutes and now about 3 hours into the flight the ‘flight manager’ arrived and explained that no other offer of compensation was available, but, she would take my email address and we would be contacted after the flight via email with an offer of compensation. The flight manager apologised for the failure of the systems and said that she understood how disappointed and inconvenienced we were by the equipment failure – this was the first apology received. As of now, 21 April, five days after the flight no contact has been made to my email address. I would like to point out that all power to the systems in our row of three seats was off. As a result; a) Obviously, we had no access to any of the ‘provided’ films or other entertainment/information. b) As we had no power to the row of seats it was not possible to ‘call’ an attendant; so our contact was achieved by repeatedly moving through the cabin to find an attendant. c) We had no lights to read from. This was a problem as the passenger in the window seat was trying to sleep so had shut the window. This passenger was woken up and provided with an eye mask and then opened the window so that it was just possible to read, but with difficulty. d) There was no power to charge phones – so whilst I was able to watch my phone for a while, this became impossible later in the flight. e) There was no air ventilation from above and at times the space was very stuffy and uncomfortable because of this. We would also like to point out the poor communication with flight attendants. Until the ‘flight manager’ spoke to us three hours into the flight none of the attendants had apologised or shown any sympathy. I felt like I was an inconvenience to the attendant and found their manner short and off-hand. We did appreciate the apology of the ‘flight manager’ and the offer to reach out and contact us after the flight – it is a shame that this did not actually happen. We remain very disappointed in the lack of facilities available to us on the flight and the manner in which our concerns were dealt with by staff. It was without doubt the worst long haul flight we have experienced in many years of travelling.

Waited 4 years and 3 months for refund… Waited 4 years and 3 months for refund of flight cancelled during covid. In the time since booking my cash will have lost 35-40% to inflation while Thai probably had it sitting in a high interest account. Seeing headlines about plans to double their fleet size and business is booming. Greedy and ignorant business only concerned with lining their own pockets.

Very poor service I flew codeshare with Thai Air, having booked on Turkish Airlines. I tried to book seats on the phone for our return flight, as we did not book direct with Thai Airlines. Kept on hold, no reply. At the airport all seats booked on the return flight to Turkey. My husband and I had to seat separately, both in middle seats - 3 seat plane. We ordered vegetarian food, and ended up with inedible vegan food! Obviously, Thai does not understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Entertainment on plane was poor, I had to ask for a blanket on an overnight flight as they had not put one on my seat. No amenity kit given, unlike Turkish Airlines. Cabin crew, practically non existent, after serving food. Avoid this airline, unless you are looking for below par service.
