In the past I've been met by friends who come in a taxi, then wait for me to emerge from immigration. I've usually then had to wait varying lengths of time while one of the friends goes to get the taxi to come. How feasible will this arrangement be at the new airport?

And to pick up a thread on another topic, how long then to Sukhumvit Soi 22 at about 1930 on a Thursday, assuming flight is on time? I assume the friends should leave at lunchtime to get to the airport early evening.
