What is the BEST method to determine approved flights to Thailand on a Tourism Visa? I have the list of approved airlines, does that mean ALL their flights to BKK are approved? I also have a list of approved flight but it only goes to the end of January. Can anyone lead me the right direction so I can purchase airline ticket in mid February? Leaving from San Francisco.

This is the list I have but it's not good enough...

TLDR : Answer Summary
The best method to determine approved flights to Thailand on a Tourism Visa involves checking with the list of approved airlines. Having this list means not all flights may be guaranteed; it's advisable to verify specific flight status as changes may occur. Reliable recent updates can be found on websites monitoring flight status, which can assist in ensuring your chosen flights remain operational, especially for future dates like mid-February.

Why isn't it good enough? The flights have a starting date, no end date. If the flight number is offered in February when booking then there is no reason to believe it isn't a good flight. No one on here is going to be able to tell you if an airline plans on canceling it.

This is also good website to check which ones are actually arriving and which ones are cancelling

Who knows what may change by Febuary. In my opinion you want to come Febuary book in January

yeah, that sounds like a plan too. Ticket prices will be considerably more by then too though. Rock and a tough place.

not sure where you're located ....in the states the further out you buy your tickets the better, if you try to buy last minute, top dollar.

yes normally but regulations can change weekly, and who knows airlines could go bankrupt.

I used Google Flights and matched against the semi-commercial flight list. But was hoping there was a better way to do this than the "hit & miss" trial and error method.

I think I found one with Asiana. It's on the list I have.

I only get error messages when trying to find flights. Not sure if the site is down temporarily or NOT flying out of San Francisco? Where are you leaving from?

ah ok. I would check as I was looking with Emirates and all their flights are said to be going but they actually aren’t

So I’ve rebooked with Thai airways as I know they are allowed in
