Booking Thai Airways from the UK problem ??

[nigelandjan]

I have been trying without success to book next years trip on Thai,s site and its impossible , I just keep getting a page with some error code on it .

Don't know if others have had this problem ,? I have used 3 different browsers + the wifes iPad all the same .

Anyway booked it now via Netflights

We had the same problem a couple of years ago.
In the end we called the Thai Airways office in Sydney Aus. and they were brilliant. They even changed the flights from a 2 week visit to a 4 week visit and there was no charge at all.
Friendly, helpful and quick.

Its been inundated due to their 50% Fire Sale, Nige










Only kiddin mate

Ive had that problem before I think, You have to look for a new tab that gets opened

[somtamslap]

Booked with them a few days back, Nigel - no probs.

No probs bar the massive void of nothingness that now comprises my bank account.

^ Your Missus and kids might be on the same flight as me

[somtamslap]

^ You poor sod!

[somtamslap]

I was seriously toying with the Air India option. Takes about 5 days to get here but the price is right.

Its all in the lurv ^

Anyway were booked Thai direct including the Udon flight via Netflights

Yes Eva is a little bit cheaper BUT then you still gotta add the Udon flight, not much in it really.

The main thing is if Thai bollox up the return Udon flight to BKK then they have to fork out for your onward flight to Heathrow , if your coming back to Udon on another carrier and miss your flight from BKK then you gotta fork out again

Anyway happy days , something to look forward to after all this fake xmas shit going on here at the mo

Im quite looking forward to that

While we are here talking about Thai Airways, I have a free upgrade so am flying Biz Class.

Who would be the best person to talk to regarding trying to swap that ticket for 2 economy tickets, so I can be a barstard like Slap and introduce my kid to Arctic temperatures

The guy in the office here reckons it cant be done, but the value of that Biz Class ticket is 157,000 baht, so I'd have thought I'd be doing them a favour, although seeing their losses this year, I'd probably be better off banging my head against the wall

I had the same Thai website problem last month.

Ended up booking on the British Airways website which had an ingenious system where you can reserve the flight for £10 for up to three days to allow you to see if its price or other airline's prices drop. If the BA price drops, you get the lower price but if it goes up you get your reserved price. If you want to switch to another airline you lose your £10

Yeah, ok Flight Attendant Slaps... You'd really love all those extra flights, overnights in Calcutta airport, shops closed...

Haven't booked with Thai for a while, one reason being that their website always crashed. More than half the time ended up with another airline to avoid the internet reservation grief (and added prices) one gets with Thai. I have also had decent online experiences with them, they seem to be hit and miss...

Had the same problem nige, about a month ago trying to book Thai Vientiane to Bangkok, just couldn't make the website do what I wanted the bastard thing to do, tried again the next day and same shit, fuk it booked Nok out of udon thani , nok are way cheaper but I still have to drive over to udon and park the car , a bit inconvenient but gets the same result

For me, Thai airways website is the worst airline website I have ever had the misfortune of using. Over the years I estimate they have missed out on over half a million baht just from my family alone due to their ongoing website problems.

The only time I persevere with them is whenever I have to book an Auckland to Bangkok flight as they are the only company that flies direct.

[Dillinger]

Did anyone try the regional sites when the .com goes down?

[BobR]

Why fly Thai? Check Priceline or Orbitz and you'll likely get a much better price on an airline that is at least as good or better.

Hate to say it, but after seeing the spoiled children of the Thai elite drive cars, I'd prefer to fly with Captain Sully.

I especially like Priceline.com

..and yet, they never learn do they?

The coin hasn't dropped.
Useless management and service all around.

If not for government and royal subsidies [akin to flushing down], they should've been outta business years ago.

Sad tale - Thai Airways.

[nigelandjan]

Why fly Thai?

Well in my case Bob as I have explained above thy are the only carrier to go from London to Udon ,,

We did a BA // Thai trip once before ,, and ONLY just made it to BKK because the Udon flight coming back was delayed

[SiLeakHunt]

not flown Thai for a while, the last few times I did they weren't great, then they stopped letting you link up from Manchester, and now the prices are sky high. Wide birth for the time being ..

[mingmong]

I just did BKK to CNX with them, Wide Cabin about 1/3 full, and so relaxed. there's worse booking sites like Air Asia, if you don't put in a post code the whole page disappears!
Dam frustrating!!

[crepitas]

Some filtering software will stuff up on line booking..if you have any try turning it off.

[nigelandjan]

No I don't mate , neither does the wifes iPad , anyway were booked through Netflights now , same price same flights
