Quick query. Had an international flight booked with Thai airways. I’ve had to leave two days early because of a death in the family.

I’ve asked if I can use the return flight, but advised I can’t because it’s a promo flight and if I don’t board one way can’t use the return flight.

Is this the norm or are Thai airways being fuckwits? I don’t understand how me not taking the first flight fucks me over for the return. They get an extra fuckin seat. I don’t travel that often, so I’m not sure what to make of this.

Thank you.
