Just a report back on how things went.
We had only 2 hours between scheduled international landing and next domestic flight. (8:30 am and 10:25am)
Needless to say we landed about 20 mins late - had to abort landing and recircle etc as there was a "dead animal on runway"
Anyway as had kids were sent to priority lane and were straight through. Other queues were no more than 10 mins.
Baggage another 10 mins or so.
This is when things took a surprising turn. Went up to a lady to enquire as to which Thai Smile Queue was the correct one for our check in.
She took it upon herself to take us to the self check in kiosk and checked us all in straight away. She then took us over to the self check in for bags and handled all that as well - including moving goods between bags so they were not overweight.
All in all about another 10 mins so we were well in time for connection.
I must say a BIG thank you to this lady and Thai Smile - such service well appreciated after a couple of long flights overnight with kids in tow.
