How Long Wait To Meet Friend Lading Etihad 1950 Please

[RubbaJohnny]

I know from my own 3 experinces ths year that delays are horrific.

I am meeting a UK passport holder,without Thai wife,so in the big queues.

I am happy to wait but assume 9pm be earliest even if plane on time?

I can check arrivals online I hope and get a cab from Asok or train from Makkasan after arrival and still have time to greet him?

If its any consolation its no better at Heathrow

I'd be there at 2045. In the bar outside waiting for a call....

I have been through the airport twice in the last month on Etihad, there were no queues whatsoever and I was out within 30 mins. I actually had fast track cards but saved them for another time because it was so empty.

I your friend has a compatible cell phone, and there's still time before they arrive, mail him/her a prepaid Thai SIM with a bit of time on it so they can call you with details on the queues.

Hmmmm, might be a good idea if AIS & DTAC had SIMs for sale airside.

For a flight landing around 1950 you should ideally set off about 62 years ago.

My friend arrived on that Etihad flight last Monday, touched down 7.20 pm it took him 1 hour from then. If your friend has thai wife he can go through the thai channel so no delays. My friend sms me when he landed i left the bar in soi 4 nana, we met at same time at meeting point 3.

I came in with Etihad on Saturday evening. 20 minutes from wheels down to baggage queue, then 15 waiting for my bag. The new snake queueing seems to be working well.

worked for me he has raoming so as soon as mobiles were allowed on he text me. i park at airport get airport link to nana and have a few beers around there, eneded up getting it back to meet him as taxi want 500 baht and no metre, so i just used BTS and airport express straight into the airport. worse places to wait than nana soi 4
