March 31, 20233 yr My family has a flight on the 8th April at 10:20 from Don Mueang to Chiang Mai. They have checked in online and have hand luggage only. However, as i have not been through this airport for a very long time, any advice on how early they should arrive?
March 31, 20233 yr the line for security at DMK domestic terminal is very quick. i fly to buriram monthly and it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to get through security. they could arrive an hour before and have no problems. i once arrived 35 minutes before flight time and had no problem making it and i checked a bag, the check in lady said 'boarding starts in 5 minutes, sir'. it was 11:55am and flight was 12:30pm. the flight had been 2pm for several months so i planned to arrive early and have lunch there but instead headed straight to the gate !!
April 1, 20233 yr With no checked bags, as long as you've checked in and have a boarding pass on your phone or a hard copy, walk straight to security (skipping the check in desk). From there, go to your gate. Boarding usually starts about 30 minutes before departure, so I aim to walk into the airport 1 hour before departure. The biggest variable is whether there is traffic along the way to the airport.
