77kaoded Thai Caption: Suvarnabhumi - Ready for long weekend passengers

 

77kaoded reported that officials at Bangkok's main airport Suvarnabhumi were ready for the upcoming holidays - a five day break for many including school children.

 

Tomorrow is the Buddhist holiday Asarnha Bucha, Thursday is the start of Buddhist Lent, Friday is a special holiday for many and then there is the weekend. 

 

The long holiday was made to boost the economy post pandemic. 

 

The media said that the airport was expecting 90,000 passengers.

 

Director Kittipong Kittikhajorn said that this included domestic and international travellers on 580 flights.

 

He said that the Airline Operator's Committee had been working with his teams to ensure they were all ready for the anticipated crowds.

 

Some 318 counters will be in use along with 196 self-service check-in machines and 42 common use bag-drop machines, items being used by many airlines these days. 

 

He promised a full compliment of staff on duty to help passenger convenience.

It can’t be less ready than the Uk’s main port of entry (LHR)…

 

Suvarnabumi is an absolute pleasure compared to the shambles that is are the UKs main Airports; Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester…. 
 

The only things impressive about the uk airports are the length of the lines to go through security screening, the zig-zag through brightly lit Duty-free making you walk twice as long and the amount of stuff that doesn’t work (if you’ve ever arrived in the uk and all escalators & travelators are working you have witnessed rarity !)…,
