MASKS

Masks should be worn at all times - close to the face, covering both the nose and mouth completely. Face masks normally last up to 4 hours, so you will need to bring enough for the duration of your trip and in case you need to replace the one you are wearing. Exemptions are only in the unlikely event of an emergency.

TEMPERATURE SCREENING

Body temperature screening will be conducted using noncontact infrared thermometers upon request.  We ask you to cooperate with airport staff and our cabin crew to ensure your wellbeing and that of all other passengers.

SAFE DISTANCE

Please mind social distancing at all times, keeping a safe distance of 1.5 to 2 meters between you and other passengers.

DISPOSING OF MASKS

If you are wearing single-use masks or disposable gloves and need to replace these, please dispose of the old ones correctly by putting them on a litter bin at the airport, or in dedicated waste bags on board.

YOUR HEALTH, EVERYONE’S WELLBEING

If you are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms or have in the last 14 days, we ask you not travel or go to the airport. Please follow the latest guidelines set by the relevant authorities at your point of departure as to what to do if you feel unwell. The health and safety of all our customers and staff is our top priority.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS

Please review and ensure you comply with entry requirements and regulations at your destination as well as the procedures in place at your point of departure.

ONLINE CHECK-IN 

Due to the current global health crisis and to comply with the regulations set by the different countries THAI operates to, there is the need for our airport teams to verify additional documents required from passengers at check-in. Consequently, we have temporarily disabled the online check-in function on our website and mobile application, for all international flights, until further notice.

HAND SANITISERS

The total net quantity of hand sanitiser gels in your checked or cabin baggage should not exceed 2000ml per passenger and the net quantity of each single item should not exceed the limit of 100ml.

SPACING MEASURES

Please respect the floor markings and one-way systems at check-in counters, self-service kiosks and around the airport. This is in place to ensure a safe distance between passengers.

CHECK-IN

Self-bag drop options help minimise interactions (such as the physical handover of baggage) between passengers and check-in agents. Please ensure you have plenty of time to check-in safely as the process may take longer due to the safety measures in place.

SANITISING STATIONS 

Hand sanitising and washing stations are available throughout the airport. We recommend you use them whenever possible.

RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS

Airport facilities for food and drink may be limited, and shops may be closed. We recommend you check your departure airport’s website in advance, so you are acquainted with the options available to you.

SECURITY SCREENING

Please allow extra time to go through security as there may be extra measures in place, including reduced lanes and extra safety processes.

LOUNGES

THAI lounges are operating with restrictions. The Royal Orchid Lounge (International) and Royal Silk Lounge (Domestic) at Bankgok Suvarnabhumi Airport remain open but with adjusted hours and special safety measures in place. All other THAI lounges worldwide remain temporarily closed. For Star Alliance partner lounges, please check the Star Alliance website.

BOARDING PROCEDURES

Safe distancing measures will be in place for boarding. Passengers will be offered a THAI Sky Pack and are invited to collect it at boarding. This pack will include: a wipe, a water bottle, a juice box, a snack and a pie or a sandwich (on certain long-haul routes).

OUR CREW

All our cabin crew will be in full personal protective equipment (PPE). We ask you to always follow their advice.

HAND SANITISERS 

Hand sanitiser bottles are available in the galley for you to use throughout your flight.

ENHANCED CABIN CLEANING

Our aircraft undergo an enhanced cleaning programme, including a disinfestation after every flight and before your trip, and the deep cleaning of 36 touch points across 5 areas: passenger seats, seat pockets, galleys, lavatories and overall cabin. The galleys and lavatories are frequently cleaned throughout the flight.

HEPA FILTERS

Cabin air filtration systems, including HEPA filters are available on all our aircraft. HEPA (high efficiency particulate air filters) are very effective at capturing greater than 99 percent of the airborne microbes in the filtered air. Filtered, recirculated is always flowing into and out of the cabin at a rate of around every 2-3 minutes.

INFLIGHT MEAL SERVICE

Our meal service has been adjusted to minimise interaction. For example, cutlery sets across all cabins are offered in sealed packaging, and bread offering in individual packs. All courses are offered on a single tray and the covered until it is placed on your seat table. Beverages are offered after your meal is served only and at present no alcohol can be consumed on board. Refreshments are only served upon request.

THE EXTRAS

On long-haul flights we will provide with individually wrapped blankets and pillows with single use covers which are disposed of after every flight. All bedding and linen are hygienically laundered. Our Sawasdee Magazine and newspapers are currently not available on board.

DISEMBARKING

To ensure a safe physical distance between passengers, our crew will ask passengers to disembark row by row starting from the back. We ask you to please comply with the advice from the crew.

ENTRY CHECKS

You will need to submit any required documents upon request, such as Public Health Passenger Locator Forms, to comply with the entry requirements at your destination. Additional health checks may be carried out by the relevant authorities once you arrive.
