🏖️ Cultural Events Example:

Thai Smile delays caused your Bangkok-Phuket flight to be 4 hours late. You missed your Songkran festival celebration that cost $400. You booked another airline to get there. That’s a valid expense claim.

Thai Smile Airways Compensation FAQ 2025

Can I still claim compensation even though Thai Smile Airways ceased operations?
Yes! Even though Thai Smile Airways ceased operations on December 31, 2023, compensation claims for disruptions that occurred before this date are still valid. Thai Airways International has assumed responsibility for these claims as part of the merger process. SkyAid can help you process these claims through the proper channels.
How did International Flight Protection work with Thai Smile Airways flights?
International Flight Protection applied to ALL international flights (crossing borders), including virtually all Thai Smile Airways flights between different countries. You didn’t need insurance – it was automatic protection. For EU departures, you could claim under BOTH EU261 (€250-€600) AND International Flight Protection (up to $8,200) simultaneously. SkyAid expertly handles both to maximize your total recovery. Keep all receipts for International Flight Protection claims.
Did I need travel insurance to claim under International Flight Protection?
No! International Flight Protection was automatic protection for international flights – no travel insurance needed. It applied to virtually all Thai Smile Airways flights since they crossed international borders. This means you can claim up to $8,200 for proven damages (missed festivals, resort bookings, etc.) without any insurance policy. Just keep all receipts and documentation to prove your losses.
What’s the maximum I could recover for a Thai Smile Airways disruption?
For EU departures: €600 under EU261 PLUS up to $8,200 under International Flight Protection = potentially over $9,000 total recovery for major losses. For non-EU departures: up to $8,200 under International Flight Protection. The key is proving actual damages with receipts like missed Songkran festivals, Phuket resort bookings, or cultural tour costs. SkyAid expertly handles the documentation and legal process. No travel insurance required for International Flight Protection claims.
What were typical Thai Smile Airways disruption causes I can claim for?
Common Thai Smile Airways issues included flight schedule changes and delays, operational inefficiencies, aircraft maintenance problems, and scheduling issues. All of these were airline responsibility and eligible for compensation under both EU261 and International Flight Protection. Even though the airline has ceased operations, these disruptions remain valid grounds for compensation claims.
How fast can SkyAid process multiple Thai Smile Airways compensation claims?
SkyAid processes both EU261 and International Flight Protection claims simultaneously for maximum efficiency. EU261 claims typically resolve in weeks, while International Flight Protection claims take longer due to damage assessment requirements. Our technology and expertise deliver 3x faster results than attempting multiple claims alone. Claims are now processed through Thai Airways International following the merger.
