Hajj Flights Hat Yai Airport - Organised Chaos


Stocky

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
