Air Asia/Nok Air transfer times at DMK, help needed.

[roamer]

Daughter has just had her AA flight from Kuala Lumpur to Don Muang cancelled and switched to a later flight that gives her just 2 hours connection time for her Nok Air flight to Ubon. Don't really have any options for switching to an earlier flight from KUL.

Question I'm asking is for those that often do the flights into DMK is the 2 hours transfer time adequate (checked baggage) or is it cutting it tight ? Obviously flight delays are another factor.....

if she already checked in online for the Nok flight, should be plenty of time

clear immigration, collect bags, then straight upstairs to Nok bag drop queue

If she is a Nok Fan club member, they have a special counter for checking in also (last time I checked)

NokAir has seven daily flights from DMK to Ubon Ratchathni (UBP).

From 6:05h in the morning to 19:30h in the evening.

So there might be a chance to rebook on site for a fee or buy new.

What is the new planned arrival time?

Thai AirAsia has another two flights.

The latest at 18:00h.

As I said no room for alternative flights. Arrives at 17.30 now instead of 16.30. She is already booked on last flight of the day at 19.30.

OK, so lets hope that the flight from KL lands in time.

As @Argust Tuft writes: DMK at the current state is not that big, so two hours should be enough.

Yep. Always prefer to have a bit of leeway time but it is what it is.

Good luck to her! Hope it goes okay to transfer

In my experience there is no problem. Stop worrying.

For domestic flights it's advised to be at the airport 2 hours before departure. She will be landing 2 hours before the next flight so would expect it to be ok.
