b00n, is your bro taking MAS or AA?

Air Asia.
Actual procedures I'm not sure. they should be in Vietnam now.

Okay some latest news on Bangkok airport:

Authorities have officially declared Suvarnabhumi airport closed until Saturday at 6pm at the earliest.

hi bro u ask airasia?
if cancel how the refund?

check out their insurance clauses on their website. there should be some clause like force majeure or flight disruption or something like that. shouldnt be that much to read. look at the text. i dont think you should rely on the air asia people. they arent insurance salesman so they dont know the exact details. well i think anyways. hahahah.

ok i already check on the AA website regarding the GoInsure thing and call them. they told me that this incident is not included on their policy...even delay or cancellation flight also they didn't cover for it.

but what about the trip cancellation clause that is listed in their air asia goinsure thing? it says there its covered? so what does 'trip cancellation mean?" if someone shoots down the plane?

man air asia really $ucks a$$ if they arent gonna give you money back for this.

I've confirmed with my bro last night via SMS.
They top up with the refund they got for the flight to Vietnam.

the GoInsure they told me only cover that in incident that u r in emergency ie:sickness blabla then they will refund u...but not the incident l;ike this worr...i also like WTF when they told me this jz now...even the delay in this BKK incident also wun cover

Never buy insurance from AA when u purchase yr ticket as they are not comprehensive enough. Moreover, if u changed date u have to buy again, the earlier one u purchased will be forfeited. Better get a separate travel insurance. You can inform yr agent when you change date.It must be before you travel (anyway, do check with yr agent regading this).I have been purchasing AHA tvl insurance whenever I tvl (only overseas trip). They are quite complete. And of course no travel insurance will cover riots and flight cancellation/delay due to riots. Read carefully the clause when u purchase the travel insurance.

their army and police also want the government to step down, so they dont actually care.

.... in the end they all sitting together singing songs cooking bbq eating peanut all together.

mmmm. bbq. hahah. anyone got any friends that made it back from thailand? through the diverted mas flights or by train or bus?

read past days newspaper

those who were stranded in bkk airport for 3 days, get to come back home
omg, getting back to come home is the best thing in life, they said

they look so exhausted, they didnt wan to comment anything about what's happening in bkk airport now. poor thing.

anyone read the article about the sailors in BKK. some foreign sailors needed to fly to malaysia to join the race here but were stuck at the airport. so they took the bus i think. 14hours. arrived at second leg of the race at 330pm something. started the race at 4pm. haiyo. i really respect them man.

necessity is the mother of invention.

when we're forced to, everything become possible.

for those who are expecting the occupation of the airport to end soon well good luck. for those of you who have flights in the next week or so i think you should just approach air asia and get a refund or change flight or whatever. apparently even if people leave the airports the airport will not be able to open due to important security and IT checks.

btw.... the author of the article doesnt know how to spell airport. check the headline..... thai journalist? huhuhu

what about those transit one ar? very sad lar.. i just pass by bangkok only ler.. I dowan to canceled my taiwan trip just becos I can't stop by bangkok..

if it is transit they will probably divert you to the other airports in the area. like the one MAS, air asia, firefly are all using. also they might transit in phuket or something. this mainly affects those that want to actually land in bkk i guess.

i think Bangkok is safe.. they wont harm the tourists.. The problem is.. dunno when are they gonna resolve the problem... i need to go BANGKOK on 11th January 2009... uwaaaaaaaaaaaa
