Who is affected and what happens to baggage?

Anyone holding a booking on one of the flights above is affected, whether the trip starts in Bangkok or the return leg home is at stake.

The flooding also hit baggage handling: about 5,600 pieces of luggage were delayed after hundreds of employees were stranded at home and could not report for work at Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi, according to the Bangkok Post. Thai Airways chief executive Chai Eamsiri apologised to passengers who waited days at Suvarnabhumi, the same newspaper reports.

If you are travelling through Bangkok in the next few days, allow extra time at Suvarnabhumi airport and confirm your connection with the airline directly. If you are stuck, keep hotel and meal receipts and check what your travel insurance covers for delays and missed connections.

What is not affected?

Only the Thai Airways flights on the published list are cancelled. No closure of Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang and no general suspension of flights in Bangkok has been announced, and other airlines' services and Thai Airways routes not named by the airline are not covered by these announcements. If your flight is not on the list, it is expected to operate, although further delays remain possible.
