I flew to Thailand on a charter flight. What flight can I take home?

The logic here is simple: the less you are tied to a charter flight, the more freedom you have for your departure. Let's break it down by combinations:

Combinations of arrival and departure flights from Thailand

How you arrived in Thailand	What flight you want to take	Departure status	Condition and reality
Scheduled flight (Aeroflot, Emirates, S7)	Scheduled flight (any airline)	? Allowed	Complete freedom, no restrictions.
Scheduled flight (Aeroflot, S7)	Charter flight (AZUR air, Ikar, Red Wings)	❌ Prohibited	The airline will refuse check-in for the flight.
Charter flight (AZUR air)	Scheduled flight (any airline)	? Allowed	A scheduled flight will accept you in any case.
Charter flight (AZUR air)	Charter flight of the same airline	⚠️ Restricted	Allowed only if you have stayed in the country for less than 60 days.
Charter flight (AZUR air)	Charter flight of another airline	❌ Prohibited	Another airline's charter program will not accept you.

The bottom line for your situation: if you arrived on a charter flight, you can depart on a scheduled flight of any airline or on a charter flight of the same airline, but only if less than 60 days have passed since entry. You won't be able to buy a charter ticket from another airline — they will turn you away at check-in. To avoid getting confused in these intricacies, get a ready-made round-trip ticket on scheduled flights or on the same charter flight — then there will be no surprises at the check-in counter.
