TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around predictions for flight prices to Thailand as travel restrictions ease post-COVID-19. Participants express a variety of opinions on whether prices will rise or fall. Some believe that airlines will need to lower prices to fill seats, while others anticipate high prices due to reduced capacity and the financial impacts of the pandemic on airlines. Several users suggest checking various airlines and using sites like Skyscanner for the best pricing. Concerns regarding refunds for canceled flights and future travel plans are also discussed.

Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
Cos I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to me head,
No matter where I roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home. My home is Scarborough. I am now in Buriram, Thailand.

But for us foreigners who are in thailand is there any other way we can go back home??? Because i believe theyve closed the airport in bangkok
I don't think travel will become more expensive as itself - some airlines already are fighting this rule of empty seats for distance purposes, they say some other measures need to be used. It will not become more expensive by the same very reason - not too many people will now grab their suitcases and start traveling, not because they cannot afford it but because it's just too much of a trouble to travel at the moment - restrictions, quarantines, doctors certificates, etc...
Hotels and resorts, when they are allowed to operate again - will have to lure people with good prices 😊
Planes need 66% capacity to break even. If they lose middle seats, they need the remainder full and inevitably until things change, prices will rise. There may be some initial discount but I doubt for long.
I would have thought prices would remain high for some time. Airlines have taken a massive hit, staff laid off and aircraft parked up. Aircraft are designed to be in constant use and will require safety checks/servicing. Plus there may be empty seats/distancing. So fewer flights, fewer seats, lots of passengers= higher prices?

Prices to Asia from the US for later this fall are cheap. I’ve seen SF/BKK for under usd$400. Several airlines are allowing no-charge changes if you book by June 30. The real question is what will the travel restrictions be in Thailand this fall?
Thai Airways can not afford to disappoint their customers past or future if they don’t honour the tickets already bought then why fly with them plenty of Airlines to chose from Shop around
Any Airline who puts up their fares because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are fools. In these difficult times fares should stay the same or come down Don’t forget Airlines are offering a lesser service and Cabin crew are taking a 30% pay cut probably for the next two years and let’s not forget fuel prices have dropped So any Airline who puts their fares up for no good reason won’t be getting my hard earned cash

I wish I was seeing a price reduction over the next three weeks but looks like even Eva who have not stopped have increased their prices by 66%
Use a site like skyscanner as they show prices from multiple airlines.

Same here I’m checking Emirates and Qatar online in June July to book flights to Chiang Rai in January so hopefully they will not be tripled in price like some people have quoted 🙏😊🇹🇭✈️

Thai Airways we’re charging £1,500 for economy class while other Airlines like Emirates we’re charging £500 for the same journey, date,time That’s why it’s gone bust
