David48 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 To be honest, we all pay the passenger movement tax / airport Tax ... or what ever the name is so that I hope that the service will be equal, if not better then Suvarnabhumi. Not a high service level to clear ... though I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALFREDO Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think its a good idea the two Airport solution. As Suvarnabhumi, was planned to long ago and built to late and is now to small to keep up with the next years increasing traffic and passenger numbers! A train connection, Suvarnabhumi - Don Muang with a short ride, would complement the whole thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonOz Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 On Monday 1 October I will arrive from UBP at 1000 and depart to KUL at 1300. Will be interesting how domestic and international handling performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanee Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 do we know yet which airlines will be operating out of don mueang? use brains-, yes I know thats a big ticket-Q for TV-users: that will change any week and never will be the same as last week or next. Airlnes fail, move, think again etc. Best way is to learn to LOOK at the airport codes they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
