Flight compensation Thai Airways International:
Brussels — Bangkok

You were due to travel with Thai Airways International from Brussels to Bangkok and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Thai Airways International, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 600€: {delay exceeds 3h at Bangkok|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Thai Airways International is responsible for|the fault lies with} Thai Airways International.
