Thai Airways Flights from U-Tapao not Allowed Direct to LAX
Thai Airways International flights bound for Los Angeles from U-tapao are being forced to undergo thorough security checks at another airport, adding three hours to the flight time.
The extra inconvenience for passengers came after an announcement by US security authorities banning international flights going direct from U-tapao airport to the United States.
Hard to believe that TSA will lift this ban for BKK without its own inspection after re-opening. Wouldn't be surprised if EASA did the same.
