From today, almost one million Thai and foreign travelers are expected to pass through Don Mueang international airport over the seven-day Songkran festival and holiday, which runs from tomorrow until April 17th.

 

The airport’s director, Mr. Sirote Duangrat, estimates that about 120,000 passengers, including many from China, Japan and India, will board flights today for journeys to the provinces for the Thai traditional New Year holiday.

 

To accommodate the spike in passenger numbers, and their luggage, the airport has increased the number of X-ray machines to 18, said Mr. Sirote, adding that the entire process, from check-in until boarding, should average 35 minutes for domestic routes.
