I have a friend flying into HKT on a flight scheduled to arrive at 6.30pm...As I don't want to do endless loops before picking him up I am just wondering what the average processing time is for Customs/Immigration at that time of day.

thanks for any help

Why do the loops when you can park your vehicle? Furthermore, the flight could be delayed.

5-15 min.

Are you trying to save the 20 baht charge for the first hours parking?

That's if you can even find a space. Parking is near impossible. Hope that new car park opens next year.

Depends where you are in the queue.......

Not quite sure how accurate this is to check if the flight is delayed and what is the actual arrival time.

I never realized it was so cheap to park there; a pleasant surprise. Finding a spot is not easy, but possible.

Less pleasant were the huge traffic jams all the way from Thalang Town to Boat Lagoon on the way in and out.

Not a nice introduction to the island.

Why can't they move cars off the road after a fender bender (minor accident)?

I can't say I have ever had a problem parking there. I just park towards the back near the coaches. Plus it ensure you never get cars parked in front of you. Was there 2 nights ago.

New car park does look quite impressive though....as far as car parks go

Easier: just google the flight number, and the info about real arrival time will pop up straight away, no need to open a website.

Not all flights are available online, I have found this website reliable for Phuket arrival information.

I agree. Incidentally I just learned that trick today while I was watching this brilliant Google ad.

That is actually embedded information from the flightstats.com website.

Depends on how many flights arrive at approx the same time and how fast you get down to the immagration check point
