Kolkata: Air India’s flights between Kolkata and Bangkok that had been initially announced till December 29, 2021, have now been extended till March 23, 2022. The flights will continue to operate two times a week — on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The first two flights that have operated had around 95% bookings. But there have been several no-shows with passengers being denied the Thai Pass that is mandatory to travel to the country in addition to the visa. Travel agents are now advising travellers to first apply for the online Thai Pass before making their visa application.
“Passengers need to provide travel details, stay details, $50,000 worth insurance coverage and a fully vaccinated certificate while applying for the Thai Pass.
