We refer to your position that the delayed baggage was the responsibility of the last carrier and I would like to clarify the circumstances of my claim. My itinerary consisted of a single flight segment from Seoul (ICN) to Bangkok (BKK) operated by Thai Airways. This was not an interline itinerary and no other carrier was involved in the transportation of my baggage prior to its delayed arrival. Following my arrival in Israel, EL AL opened a courtesy PIR in Tel Aviv (TLV) solely to facilitate baggage tracing and local delivery arrangements only. The PIR was not opened because EL AL was the carrier responsible for the baggage delay, but rather as a customer service measure to assist in locating and forwarding my baggage. As the baggage delay originated on the Thai Airways-operated flight from Seoul to Bangkok, the responsibility for the delayed baggage claim rests with Thai Airways, the carrier that transported my baggage on the affected flight. EL AL's involvement was limited to providing tracing assistance and coordinating delivery only. Accordingly, I kindly request that your records be updated that this was not an interline case and that Thai is the carrier who is responsible for my baggage delay and to handle the compensation of my claim accordingly. I therefore request that you review the case again and provide full compensation for both passengers in accordance with the Montreal Convention 1999. Please reconsider your decision and process our compensation accordingly.

Problems at airport

The flight was supposed to depart at 1.30 pm from Kathmandu and expected arrival at Bangkok at 6.15 pm. At 1.30 PM passengers were embarking in Kathmandu Airport, and then we stayed inside the airplane until 3.30 pm when the flight departed towards Bangkok. During that period passengers were given very little information about the disruption. I've communicated with the airplane crew that informed me that most probably the flight was going to be delayed for my next flight towards Sydney. They also informed me that Thai Airlines was responsible for connecting passengers in Bangkok with connecting flights. During that period and knowing by the airplane crew that I wasn't going to make it to my next booked flight in Bangkok that was departing at 8.35 pm I've purchased a new flight ticket from Bangkok to Sydney, under Thai Airways, departing at 10.20 pm, flight TG471, that I would like to be compensated back as part of the delay of the above flight TG320. Arrival time was around 7.35 pm and 7.45 pm when we disembarked from the airplane. At the ground in Bangkok airport no assistance was given and I had to go through the process of collecting my own luggage and redo the check in process. In the meanwhile I also went to the Bangkok Airport desk from Thai Airways where I was given instructions on how to request the current claim.

I would also like to request compensation for damages due to the considerable time lost dealing with Thai Airways by email over the past three months. In addition, I was attending a professional wine trade show, which made the situation particularly difficult (I came in Paris just few days, just for this business trip) Because my luggage was missing, I had to urgently purchase essential items on Sunday morning and attend a post-trade-show business meeting on Saturday wearing dirty clothes and jogging pants, which negatively affected my professional image. Considering the inconvenience, stress, time lost, and professional impact caused by this situation, I would therefore like to request the maximum compensation amount of €1,920.

Technical problems

On 24/4, I was supposed to fly from Brussels Airport to Bangkok at 13:10, local time. Boarding started at 12:10. Around 12:05, I went to check the information / departure times again, and a couple of minutes later, was written that the flight got CANCELLED. We asked the staff at the gate counter for information, but they were unable to provide more details. Only twenty minutes or so later, they announced that our flight got cancelled because of "technical difficulties" and that we had to go to baggage claim to pick up our bag, and receive further information there. After picking up my baggage, they referred me to the entrance hall, at T1 (departures). At this time, I called both Thai Airlines Central Office in Thailand, as well as their Office in Brussels. Both were unable to provide me with further information; the central office referred me to the Thai Airline staff in the airport itself. This was around 14:30 - I have proof of me calling my father, as well as Thai Airlines around this time. The directions were not clear, and most people did not know where to go to. Finally, we were pointed to one of the helpdesks, where they gave the passengers vouchers to stay one night in the hotel, as the flight got delayed until the next day at 12:10. However, I had a connecting flight from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh, at 17:35 local time. Because of the delay, I would not be able to catch this flight. I asked about this, and if Thai Air would rebook this. Again, the staff was unable to provide any information, but they guaranteed me that I would get a e-mail if they had any news. I had to come back next day to Brussels Airport, around 9:00 and then they would give me more information. The next day, I was able to get new boarding passes, and they rebooked my flight from BKK to HCM. Nevertheless, the flight from Brussels to Bangkok also experienced a delay of about an hour.

I tripped over the strap of my bag on my way into the airport and the check in staff would not allow me to board the flight without a fit to fly certificate. They made me go back and forth from a local hospital twice where I had to pay and they then told me I could just get a certificate from the airport doctor as I was fine. I kept asking the check in staff and they refused to help me and kept saying I needed to go to the hospital to get the letter which was not true. I missed my flight due to their incompetence and then I spoke to a tourism police officer who took me to a doctor at the airport who just gave me a note as I was totally fine to fly. This took so much time that I missed my flight and had to get put on a later flight in the evening. I incurred costs at the hospital and the doctor and I also had to buy more food at the airport, but I don't have those receipts so I would just like compensation for the flight issues that meant I got home around 10 hours later than planned. The whole situation was very stressful, and if the check in staff knew how to do their job properly I could have just got a letter from the airport doctor and been on the correct flight.

Formal complaint regarding denied Business Class upgrade – THAI flight TG 940 on 18 January 2026 Biondi Luciano

Formal complaint regarding denied Business Class upgrade – THAI flight TG 940 on 18 January 2026 Good morning, my name is Luciano Biondi, and I am writing to formally report a serious and unpleasant incident that occurred during my return journey on THAI flight TG 940 on 18 January 2026, route Bangkok – Milan. On 16 January 2026, my wife and I visited the Thai Airways office located on the 3rd floor of the domestic flights area, with the intention of upgrading two tickets from Economy Class to Business Class for our Bangkok–Milan flight scheduled for 18 January 2026. We were informed to proceed directly to the Thai Airways check-in counter on the day of departure, which we duly did. At the check-in counter, the hostess showed us two available Business Class seats, although not adjacent, which we were willing to accept. We were informed of a cost of 38,000 baht per person, for a total of 76,000 baht. We clearly stated that we wished to pay immediately, but we were told that the entire procedure had to be completed in Bangkok, and we were assured that the hostess herself would forward the booking request and notification to the ticketing office. Upon arrival in Bangkok, we approached the domestic flights staff, who initially stated that they knew how to proceed. However, it soon became clear that no one was aware of our upgrade request, and, most importantly, the two Business Class seats previously shown to us were no longer available. As a result of this unacceptable mismanagement, my wife and I were forced to travel in Economy Class, without being able to complete the agreed upgrade. I would like to emphasize that the upgrade to Business Class was absolutely necessary for me, as during the week prior to my return journey I had been seriously ill, suffering from a 40Β°C fever, and was hospitalized at Thalang Hospital. In addition, I am recovering from a femur surgery, which requires me to travel with my leg fully extended. Being forced to fly in Economy Class therefore caused significant physical discomfort, which could have been entirely avoided had the assurances given by your staff been properly managed. With this letter, I wish to formally highlight the serious lack of organization, coordination, and preparedness of the staff involved, which had a substantial negative impact on an already delicate journey due to my medical condition. Such an experience is not in line with the standards expected from an international airline, and, in light of what occurred, I regret to say that Thai Airways will no longer be my preferred carrier for future travel. I look forward to receiving your formal response, along with your evaluation of the incident. Best regards Luciano Biondi info@happycamping.it Reclamo formale per mancato upgrade a Business Class – volo THAI n.TG 940 del 18/01/2026 Buongiorno, mi chiamo Luciano Biondi e Vi scrivo per segnalare uno spiacevole e grave inconveniente verificatosi durante il viaggio di ritorno con volo THAI n. TG 940 del 16/01/2026, tratta Bangkok – Milano. In data 16/01/2026, io e mia moglie ci siamo recati presso l’ufficio Thai Airways situato al 3Β° piano dell’area voli domestici, con l’intenzione di commutare due biglietti da classe economica a Business Class per il volo Bangkok–Milano. Ci Γ¨ stato comunicato di rivolgerci direttamente al banco Thai del check-in il giorno della partenza 18.01.2026, come effettivamente abbiamo fatto. Al banco check-in, la hostess ci ha mostrato due posti disponibili in Business Class, seppur non adiacenti, come da noi accettato, indicando un costo di 38.000 baht a persona, per un totale di 76.000 baht. Abbiamo espresso la volontΓ  di pagare immediatamente, ma ci Γ¨ stato riferito che l’operazione doveva essere completata esclusivamente a Bangkok, assicurandoci che la stessa hostess avrebbe inviato la richiesta e la segnalazione all’ufficio biglietteria. Una volta arrivati a Bangkok, ci siamo rivolti al personale dei voli domestici, il quale inizialmente ha dichiarato di essere a conoscenza della procedura. Tuttavia, nessuno risultava informato della prenotazione, nΓ© della richiesta di upgrade e, soprattutto, i due posti Business precedentemente indicati non erano piΓΉ disponibili. Il risultato finale di questa gestione del tutto inadeguata Γ¨ stato che io e mia moglie siamo stati costretti a viaggiare in classe economica, senza poter usufruire del cambio di classe concordato. Desidero sottolineare che l’upgrade a Business Class era per me assolutamente necessario, poichΓ© nella settimana precedente al rientro sono stato gravemente ammalato, con febbre a 40Β°, ricoverato presso l’ospedale di Thalang, e sono reduce da un intervento chirurgico al femore, condizione che mi impone di viaggiare con la gamba distesa. Viaggiare in classe economica ha quindi comportato un notevole disagio fisico, del tutto evitabile se quanto promesso dal Vostro personale fosse stato correttamente gestito. Con la presente intendo segnalare la grave disorganizzazione, la mancanza di coordinamento e l’impreparazione del personale coinvolto, elementi che hanno inciso negativamente su un viaggio giΓ  reso delicato dalle mie condizioni di salute. Un’esperienza di questo tipo non Γ¨ compatibile con gli standard di una compagnia aerea internazionale e, alla luce di quanto accaduto, non ritengo di poter piΓΉ considerare Thai Airways come vettore di riferimento per futuri viaggi. Resto in attesa di un Vostro riscontro formale e di una valutazione dell’accaduto. Distinti saluti, Luciano Biondi info@happycamping.it

Terrible baggage experience

I Swastika Rekha would like to lodge a complaint on behalf of my husband, John Rebba. He travelled on 15th January, 2026 via Thai Airways. His booking reference is: FIM9WU. Along with him, our 4 year old daughter Siara Rebba also travelled under the same booking ref. When they reached Hyderabad, they were informed by the Thai Airways staff that the bags did not arrive. They had 2 checked in bags. This has caused lot of stress and inconvenience for us, especially to my husband and to my 4 year old daughter. All my daughter’s clothes, shoes, medications, toilet seat, basic essentials such as toothpaste, brush was all in the bag. My daughter has allergies and her medications were in the bags. Due to this, it caused us lot of issues as she was unable to have them. My husband also had all his basic essentials in the bags. My daughter was bitten by mosquitoes as the creams were in the bags and by the time my husband bought the cream, she already had mosquito bites. My husband’s house is around 5 hours drive from Hyderabad airport and for over 24 hours, they were in the same clothes. My daughter had lot of issues when going to toilet as her toilet seat was not there. We thought travelling with Thai Airways will be a great experience but with this baggage issue, it became a disaster. My husband is very disappointed with all this as it caused lot of inconvenience for him and my daughter. I am Swastika Rekha and am travelling via Thai Airways on 21st January 2026 (DAZGE6) and now I won’t be able to take any checked in baggage with me since I may have the same issue and I am in India only for 5 days and if my bags do not arrive then it will take almost 3 days for it to arrive. As a result of this, I won’t be able to do shopping or would need to purchase a new luggage bag for return. We booked our return air tickets with Thai and since this experience with Thai was really bad, we are now hesitant to travel with Thai Airways in future.

Lost suitcase then refused to help deal with consequences

We travelled on TG482 from Perth to Tokyo via Bangkok. Our flight was first delayed, but then, when we arrived in Tokyo, we were informed with no apology offered that one of our suitcases had not been put on the plane. First, this suitcase contained all of the clothes I needed for a conference presentation I was giving the next day, and I had to go out and buy a stack of new clothes for this purpose. Second, however, and this is what I am asking compensation for, we then had to stand for over an hour to fill in forms about our missing suitcase because the airline messed up. As a result of that, we missed the Shinkansen which I had already paid for (to go to Osaka, which I needed to do by that day to make the conference), and this was not changeable or refundable as it was booked on Klook. I asked repeatedly whether Thai airways could help us with this, and they said it was nothing to do with them, and no, too bad, the fact that it was the airline's fault that we had to stand there for over an hour completing paperwork to get the suitcase they lost back didn't mean they had to do anything about the fact that we were now going to lose around $400 AUD in already paid train tickets. I am prepared to go to the Ombudsmen about this if there is no response to my entry here, as I think this is actually not legal. If there is just a delay that is not the fault of the airline, ok, but if the airline actually makes an error, loses your suitcase, and then you miss your train because this forces you to stand around filling in the airline's forms just to get your own bag back, I think the airline is responsible to compensate. I am prepared to evoke legal processes to get this compensation.

Malfunctioning power outlet and delayed response

I’m writing to share feedback regarding my recent experience on Flight TG910, which unfortunately involved several issues that significantly impacted my journey and productivity. Upon pressing the call button, I experienced a very long delay before an attendant arrived. When assistance did come, communication was difficult due to the attendant’s limited English proficiency, which made it challenging to explain the situation. More importantly, the power outlets in both my seat and my wife’s seat were not functioning. As I had a long flight ahead and critical work to complete, this was a major inconvenience. My laptop battery ran out, and after another extended wait for assistance, the crew kindly offered to charge it in business class. While this was a helpful workaround, it required additional waiting time and disrupted my workflow. Unfortunately, the battery depleted again later in the flight. I requested help once more, but again faced a prolonged delay before an attendant responded. The laptop was recharged a second time, but by then, I had lost considerable time and momentum. I chose not to seek further assistance, as the delays were too disruptive. While the crew were courteous and helpful once they understood the situation, the downtime caused by these issues resulted in a significant loss of productivity. I was unable to complete important work before arriving in the UK, which meant I had to finish it during my holidayβ€”impacting both my plans and my family. It is unacceptable that essential passenger amenities such as power outlets were not functioning. While I appreciate your commitment to safety, the reliability of non-critical systems like power supply should not be overlookedβ€”especially when they directly affect passengers’ ability to work or stay connected during long-haul flights. I urge Thai Airways to address these issues promptly to ensure a more seamless experience for future travelers.

Flight TG340D (13 Dec 2024) was a nightmare: 16+ hour delay in Dhaka with no communication, no food, no water, and zero staff on site. Hotel transfers were unsafe and chaotic. At Bangkok, we were abandoned again β€” no help, no guidance, no luggage for two days. Six months later? Still no meaningful response. Only generic excuses blaming weather, while ignoring Thai Airways' total operational failure and violation of passenger rights. I’ve been blocked from commenting on their Facebook page for calling them out β€” instead of fixing the issue, they silence passengers. Meanwhile, their page is flooded with scam accounts pretending to offer help β€” which the airline leaves untouched. That says everything about their priorities. Avoid this airline if you care about safety, service, or basic human decency.

Problems at airport

Have try Thai air but got fobed of tryed another claim company but that was nearly a year ago and no success this is so straight forward but still no compilation I don’t understand. Me and my daughter went on holiday of a life time fixed time scale got to the airport and nothing happened no communication from the airline all the staff were there but could not check in as could not load the bags on the plane as there were not enough baggage handlers so after 5 hours they told everyone to go home or find accommodation so we had to get a taxi get som food and book a b and b as there were no hotels then we had to come back next day and we eventually got a flight. So messed about for nearly 24 hr and lost a day of our holiday. Not a great start .

Last Updated:  

Even the best and most highly regarded airlines can fall short from time to time, and when they do, it’s fair to file a complaint. Not only will it resolve the issue on your end, but it will also help carriers like Thai Airlines to improve their services.

To help you understand the complaint process, we’ll be going through the following:

  • What you can complain about that will lead to compensation
  • Your rights as a Thai Airways passenger
  • The steps you should take to submit a complaint
  • How to contact Thai Airways

If your flight was delayed, canceled or overbooked within the last 3 years, you could be eligible for up to €600 in compensationCheck Your Flight

Typical Thai Airways Complaints

From seat comfort to slow boarding process, passengers complain about so many different things, but not all of them will result in a compensation payout. Below are some of the most common issues people have. They also happen to be the ones most likely to get you something for your trouble.

  • Flight delays: When Thai Airways flights are delayed, you could get a maximum of £520 (€600) as long as your trip meets certain criteria.
  • Flight Cancellations: As well, flights cancelled by Thai Airways with less than 2 weeks notice get you compensation similar to that of delays.
  • Denied boarding: As a ticketed passenger, if you’re bumped because your flight was overbooked, you could be entitled to £520 (€600) in compensation.
  • Lost or damaged baggage: If Thai Airways loses or damages your luggage you could claim as much as £1,300 (€1,700).
  • Poor Customer Service: Did something in-flight or otherwise not meet your expectations? File a complaint so the airline can improve. They might just give you vouchers or discounts to make it right.

Thai Airways Complaints: Helpful Tips

To make sure your complaint is addressed properly, here are some things to remember:

  1. Timing is everything. The longer you wait to submit your complaint with Malaysia Airways, the less likely you are to remember the details necessary to get compensation.
  2. Make sure to keep your booking details and travel documents. Things like your boarding pass, baggage tags, any correspondence, and anything else you can think of can be included in your complaint, and it will help your chances of a payout.
  3. Provide as many details as possible about your experience. The more specifics you include, the stronger your claim will be.
  4. State your expected resolution. In your mind, you’ve already decided what you need to be satisfied, so always be clear about your desired outcome.
warning

Always send your issue to the airline ASAP.

What Are Your Thai Airways Passenger Rights?

Anytime your Thai Airways flight leaves from an airport in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you’ll be protected by the air passenger rights from these locations, which happens to be some of the best in the world!

Regulation EU261 in Europe and Regulation UK261 for the UK both describe the rules that all airlines must follow if they fly out of these areas. As a passenger, this means that you could be owed £520 (€600) in compensation depending on the distance of your flight and the length of your delay at the final stop.
