... looking at booking the Emirates flight back.

What's the story with the insurance?

Do they send a copy of the policy with the ticket and does it have the Covid 50k cover highlighted?

...it do you have to ask

Thanks.

Gordon *******
KLM

Teesside - Amsterdam- Bangkok
Paul *******
@Gordon ******
my fav route .. gotta love Teesside airport
Gordon *******
Right, good to get a good deal!
Gordon *******
Yes, convenient for me, quite often prices are higher from Teesside so will go from Newcastle then. Much easier regional airports, Heathrow is a nightmare, together with traveling back to the North East also
Paul *******

I've just booked with Etihad on NYE - good times, short stop over and reasonably priced.
Nick *******
Only do the Middle East airlines from Manchester and my preference would be 1. Qatar 2. Emirates 3. Etihad but the winner would be best price and duration out of those 3.
Martin *********
Don’t go Thai they keep cancelling at the last minute
Glyn *********
Covid, bloody phone.😂
Glyn *********
@Martin ********
yes they were getting erratic even before civid struck. I always use Trailfinders as booking agent and they told me they no longer deal with them for that very reason.

I'm KLM and have 1 day left to get my Thai Pass before I have to change my flight. I've already changed it once because of the Thai Pass fiasco but KLM are very easy to change for free.

@Mark ******
did you get pass ok.

Or does it depend what email you have as iam hotmail
Mark **********
@Owen **********
I’m still waiting Owen. I used my gmail address and got the notification so hopefully will be ok.
Ralph *********
Etihad 23rd nov,if Thai pass comes back!!
Stuart *********
I don’t think everyone is choosing a particular airline or route, just what flights suit their budget and timeframes. You can go London direct to Bangkok, but from Manchester most would transit via the Middle East countries, so Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, etc. Some transit via Turkey ( hearing about many cancellations from there) or someone like FinnAir. etc.
Chris *********************
@Stuart ********
never fly with Turkish airlines again most ignorant airport staff ever known
Mark *********
Etihad
