Just when I thought....

Today, EVA Air have informed me that all of their flights to Bangkok have been cancelled up to the middle of March, allegedly due to concern over the "delta" variant.

Any other unexpected flight cancellations by other operators?

The Delta explanation is bollocks, since that's been around for a very long time now. EVA just miscalculated demand. You're very generous to re-schedule your holiday to follow the airline, rather than change the airline to suit the schedule.
In normal times, EVA is my preferred airline, but they do need to operate flights to get my custom.

In 2020 and 2021, before booking flights, I look at scheduled flight frequency AND then monitor one of the tracking sites, such as FlightRadar24, to make sure the flight I intend to book has a track record of operating.
In the last 7 days, the flight I plan to take has landed 7 times, so 100%.

They are going to learn to regret it.

Those who are reliant on tourism probably regret it already, however the Junta don't seem to care at all about the tourism sector.

I give EVA some slack on this. In April 2020 we were due to fly to Thailand on EVA. Everything shut down of course. EVA reimbursed the flight costs, promptly and without quibble.

I like EVA a lot. I also remember when India & Pakistan were skirmishing, so using their airspace was not a good idea.
Thai cancelled flights. EVA just carried on running, with a detour around the bottom.

However, to get my business this year, EVA still need to offer a suitable flight schedule.
