Bangkok Airways to Charge No-Show Passengers From Now On
31st Oct 2017
As “no-show” passengers start to become an issue, affect revenue and cause flight wastage, Bangkok Airways is looking to put a stop to this behaviour. As of tomorrow, the Thai-based regional airline will start imposing fees on those passengers that do not show up for their scheduled flight.
The penalty fee will not be imposed on passengers who request a flight change with BA’s reservation centre at least two hours before their plane is to depart.
“No-show” passengers will have to pay 500 baht per leg on Economy Class for domestic flights, while for international flights the fee will be 1000 baht. The penalty fee for Business Class on domestic flights will also be 1,000 baht and on international flights it will be 2,000 baht per leg.
According to an insider within Bangkok Airways, the carrier will not charge a penalty fee for some of its high tier tickets as it sees customers who pay top fares as “favored flyers”.
Bangkok Airways isn’t the first airline to start imposing “no-show” penalty fees. Cathay Pacific, for instance, also has such fees.
On the other hand, low-cost carriers such as AirAsia simply invalidate “no-shows” tickets.
