ORIGINAL POSTERHowever some passengers (around 15) could't board in Istanbul as they had no vaccination proof.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Passengers traveling to Thailand, such as those departing from Istanbul, are still facing issues with boarding flights due to the requirement of vaccination proof. Despite some commentators noting the lack of enforcement of such rules, it appears that airlines are still adhering to these requirements which can leave unvaccinated travelers stranded. The situation continues to cause frustration among travelers regarding the inconsistent implementation and communication of these travel regulations by the Thai government.

when they announce new rules the day before then make an emergency change it’s a bit of a mess, if you’re not vaccinated you can test on arrival. AFAIK the only way you are denied boarding currently would be if your country of departure requires a Covid test to enter that means you need Covid insurance to fly to Thailand…..but that’ll probably change again tomorrow

Tell that to Turkish airways that refused 15 passangers because they never had covid papers.Jared **********
@Steve *****
as someone who’s had to deal with misinformed airline staff it’s not fun and you better be as polite as you can and have the documentation on hand. Can’t assume anything when it’s a mess like this and at the end of the day it’s your own ass that gets fried so better off doing some extra due diligence.
