Luggage Trollies

[GungaDin]

Hi.

First time into Swampy airport!

Can the luggage trollies be taken to the taxi rank?

I have two very large cases plus a xlarge softbag.

TIA

gd

[londonthai]

yes, as in any airport in the world

[Crossy]

Yup^^^

And they are free, unlike many airports in Europe

HEY GD, hope you're packed by now...

If you want to go for the 'taxi from departures' route rather than the official taxi rank on arrivals level, you can take the trollies up two (IIRC) levels using the sloping escalator thingummies. Just be careful to disengage the brake when you get to the end of each escalator or you'll cause a pile-up

I asked, as I had to unload a load of luggage to get thru the Immi channels at DM (as everyone else did) a few years ago.

So, not as in any airport in the world

Thanks for the tip.

IIRC - If I Recall Correctly - means I'm not 100% sure - it's been almost a year now

In the post before did you mean you had to unload for the immigration or customs channel? You wouldn't have your (checked) bags going through immigration..?

Hi Gungadin , that is reasonable advise , i would , however , like to add that this will only apply if there are enough trolleys left when you arrive at the carousel , when you consider so many have been , hahem , missplaced by employees etc in the general direction of local scrap dealers .

[GungaDin]

I had no probs at Swampy.

Biggest prob seems to be the distance from the carousel to Immigration etc.

Yes , the amount of walking one has to do at swampy is unreal , especially when advanced in years , can a person get help with this ?

Thai Air were superb, and they wheeled me from the a/c door to the taxi rank, I have emphasema (sp)

Just tell travel agent that you need help at the airport.

When you check in, make sure the airline rep knows about your request.
