Thai Airways cancels all European flights

[gerefan2]

Last night I flew back from BKK to London with Eva Air. All went OK.

This evening (Wed 27 Feb) I see the same Eva Air flight diverted back to BKK and landed back there after about 5 hours.

All Thai Airways flights to Europe are cancelled.

Consequently, many flights to Thailand are also cancelled due to non arrivals of the inbound flights.

All due to a little punch up between Pakistan and India.

I'm sure it will get sorted once the Airlines prepare new routes.

So, if you are travelling soon, either way, be prepared to get fucked about before you even arrive in Thailand! And expect longer flights too.

How exactly do you know all of this gerefan2? Your (very) proud boast is that you’ve given up reading newspapers. Are you perhaps relying on that acme of verisimilitude, the Internet, or lonelywombat’s favourite stand-by “a friend told me”?

The information you’re giving out is not only related to airline schedules but also the very current punch up between India and Pakistan

Did not see anything about Gerefan reading it in newspapers. Most likely reported on TV news. Here such news is not being reported, more about priests and catholic school teachers, being caught in school boys trousers.

Both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons, and both are quite bloody bonkers when it comes to each other.
Airlines with fly-over routes over these two failed states are quite correct in being uber-careful, especially after the downing of a Malaysian Airlines passenger plane over Ukraine a few years ago.

(Furthermore, the comments from Lonely are, as usual, incomprehensible. He did though, somehow manage to intertwine the cautious act of an airline and " ... school boys trousers ... ". Nothing if not Trumpian.)

The death of baby Chamberlain in 1980 almost 40 years ago, seems a strange precedent. What we are looking at is two Cardinals in recent months, one resigned and one imprisoned, probably for life.
No longer boys feel as terrified about telling their parents about feeling,fooling or fucking by men supposedly of God. The figure discussed today that up to 500,000 priests and brothers are starting to worry, if their cover stories will stil be believed.

What we are looking at is two Cardinals in recent months, one resigned and one imprisoned, probably for life.What we're looking at, lonely, is mass hysteria surrounding an unsympathetic person with a religious outlook not shared by the majority of the Australian population, and an "improbable" version of events - exactly what happened with Lindy Chamberlain. It took 7 years and a number of trials and investigations before she was freed from prison. Presumably - since you seem obsessed by the media coverage - you've seen statements by various members of Melbourne's criminal bar who've said the verdict is unbelievable. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/feb/28/george-pell-has-good-chance-of-winning-appeal-against-convictions-expert-says

I'm keeping an open mind, but then I'm not a sentimentalist. I suspect that what you think is "I don't care if he did that thing or not; I just want him locked up"

Standard definition of a failed state: "... a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state

Arguably Venezuela is on the way to becoming a "failed state"; some people think the same of, say, Zimbabwe. I wouldn't think either Pakistan or India are anywhere near those two in the "failed state" stakes

OK, back to Lonely, then back to Thai Airways, then back to Pattaya.

Now we know Freaky is on the staff of a Catholic High School in Houston... It's also important to find out if (and why) gerefan2 believes that television is more reliable a source of information than newspapers, as The Wombat asserts:
Did not see anything about Gerefan reading it in newspapers. Most likely reported on TV news.

EVA's website tells us that today's flight has left Bangkok and is due to arrive in London an hour or so late.

The following travel advice was received by email this morning:

If you read this board properly, instead of using every post to start a quarrel, then you would know Arsenal was due to leave the day after me. The day this all blew up. I expect he is incarcerated at Swampy!

As this board is geared up to post information about whores in Thailand I don’t consider my spelling or grammar to be of any relevance and I certainly won’t make any efffort to please you.

EVA's website tells us that today's flight has left Bangkok and is due to arrive in London an hour or so late.

It was nearer 1.5 hours late and that was mainly due to it avoiding Pakistani airspace by flying south of the country. Makes much more sense than cancelling flights.

This had a code share with a Thai flight, so perhaps they were packing in a few from one of their cancelled flights.
