Claim and compensation for flight Thai Airways International Brussels - Bangkok
Your claim for compensation for the Thai Airways International flight from Brussels to Bangkok deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 9 262 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
Why are you entitled to 600 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
- Arrival airport: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
- Flight distance: 9 262 km (~11h35)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Thai Airways International, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Thai Airways International Brussels - Bangkok is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Brussels and Bangkok entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
Also note that the distance of 9 262 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.
What are the conditions for Thai Airways International to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bangkok.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Thai Airways International (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brussels, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Thai Airways International compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Suvarnabhumi Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Brussels airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Brussels Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.
Your forced stay at Brussels shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRU-BKK trip.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Thai Airways International?
For your Brussels - Bangkok trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Thai Airways International staff at the Brussels Airport counter during the incident.
By entrusting your case regarding flight BRU-BKK to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.
How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
On the BRU-BKK line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Thai Airways International's legal department.
Recovering 600 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Thai Airways International systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Thai Airways International should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
For your 600 €, don't compromise with Thai Airways International without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Brussels.
