What should I do if I miss a connecting flight to Thailand but arrive the same day on a different flight?
Hi all! What happens when one misses a connection and is offered another connection by the airline , which naturally deviates from the COE? That is, even arriving same day in Thailand, just with another flight. Any shared experience in this matter shall be truly appreciated :)
Answer summary
The discussion focuses on the process and considerations for travelers who miss a connecting flight to Thailand but are rebooked on a different flight arriving the same day. Participants share that generally, if the arrangement is made by the airline and the flight details can be presented, it should not pose a major issue. However, there are concerns about potential complications such as new Certificates of Entry (COE) being necessary due to delays, especially considering the impact of Covid-19 regulations.

If yoi mean that you're taking 2 flights (for example London Doha Bangkok) and the 1st flight is late for reasons outside your control, arriving after your 2nd flight should have left - then your airline puts you on another later flight, I would think that your original booking plus new onward flight should do it as it was outside your control ... though you might be delayed explaining it.

If same day should be no problem

I’ve seen some horror stories about this. People having to get issued new COE’s, as a result the fit to fly’s and covid tests expiring while being stuck in the airport, spending days in the connecting airport while trying to figure it all out.

Just make sure you can show the changes to the flight , don't think it will be a big deal
