Multiple airlines, including Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, and Thai Airways, are offering passengers free flight changes or travel credits in response to severe flooding in Bangkok.
Specific policies vary by airline, generally covering flights to/from Bangkok between September 26-29, allowing changes within a set period or retaining ticket value for future travel.
Authorities and airlines advise travelers to allow ample time for airport commutes, verify flight status directly with their airline, and monitor traffic conditions due to severe road flooding.
While both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports remain operational, access roads are heavily affected, causing significant delays and some service disruptions, such as baggage handling issues at Suvarnabhumi.
