BANGKOK: -- Management at Don Muang International Airport (the jewel of Bangkok’s air travel infrastructure) is working to reduce check in times for travelers flying into and out of Bangkok.

According to the airport’s new scheme, check-in times for domestic travelers should run no longer than an hour, whereas check-in times for international travelers should run no longer than two hours.

In order to see that this goal is met, the airport is hiring extra help staff to assist with airport navigation.

<deleted>?? An hour (or 2) to check-in??

Given the number of people in the photo, I would be surprised if it should take more than 1 or 2 MINUTES to check-in.

That is amazing. So they are tired with losing face from all those angry people who have to wait forever to check in.

Whybother, you would not believe how long some people take to check in, like they are at an airport for the first time. Can drive you crazy as turing up 2 hours before still does not guarantee you will get on the plane.

Then obviously they aren't providing enough check-in counters. I have never spent more than about half an hour in the check-in queues. Even at Swampy (or DM before that) in the late evening with all the midnight flights, there has been long queues, but they moved steadily.

Keeps people busy there will be a big committee thinking for 18 month and come up with a brilliant idea or nothing at all ( most likely ) as long as the have a big payment for their work it's OK clap2.gif

It's nice to know that whoever wrote this article has a good sense of humor.

After reading the original article I had a good chuckle about the reason for reducing check-in times and I quote (from the article): "to allow more time to spend money in duty-free shops". Yeah right, like any traveler would want to waste money and time in those rip-off shops. No, the reason to get check-in formalities completed more quickly would be simply so you can pass through security and go directly to your gate! Duty free shops are there if you want, but most passengers don't give a sh*t and wouldn't buy anything there anyways.
