londonthai Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 yes, as in any airport in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yup^^^ And they are free, unlike many airports in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaethon Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 yes, as in any airport in the world 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaethon Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 up two (IIRC) levels ?? IIRC? 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..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumball Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 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 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I had no probs at Swampy. Biggest prob seems to be the distance from the carousel to Immigration etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumball Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
