An aviation-related question. What is the Thai equivalent of 'air bridge'?

[SantiSuk]

'Air bridge' being the walkway that is moveable to connect the aircraft exit to the terminal departure gate.

Many thanks guys. I know about saphan loi as my Bangkok condo has one outside which features in my instructions to Thai taxi drivers when up in town! I used it at Ubon airport a few days ago and the check-in girls understood my issue.

However, when I just now talked my wife thru' your responses she said that KhunBENQ's sà-paan tîiap krêuuang bin shows a level of sophistication that might get the girls switching to Thai, believing me to be fluent. I'll try it out next time (next week) and see what happens.????

 

Many thanks to all.
