May 31, 20223 yr The Hajj is back, flight days as follows: Outbound Hat Yai - Madinah on 12 - 13 June 2022 Hat Yai – Jeddah on 29 Jun – 1 Jul 2022 Return Jeddah – Hat Yai on 20 – 21 Jul 2022 Madinah – Hat Yai on 8 – 10 Aug 2022 Can expect congestion as whole villages turn out to see the Hajji off and welcome them back again. Best to avoid travelling through Hat Yai airport on these days. .
June 1, 20223 yr I know how crowded it can be. There are even direct international flights from Narathiwat Airport for Hajj. The only time of the year when aircraft fly anywhere else but Bangkok.

Yes it has a festival air to it, families and friends all come to see the Hajji off and making it a day out with a picnic in the car park. Makes getting through the vehicle checkpoint, then the airport security difficult; lots of people just filling up space. The litter they leave behind on the lawns is awful. When I was working in Indonesia I'd sometimes get a double dose, Hat Yai airport, then again in Jakarta, though Jakarta now has a purpose built Hajj Terminal.
