off road Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Arrived this morning from Phnom Penh on an Air Asia flight. ( 50 passangers) There was a 5 minute wait for the bus to arrive at the plane. After a short bus ride to the terminal we all left the bus...proceeded up the escalator ....turned left and into the arrivals hall. This was the Domestic arrivals hall ! Some guys with only hand luggage actually ventured through to where taxis were waiting. There was no mass panic with Air Asia ground staff.....or immigration or bells going off. We approached an info kiosk and after a few phone and radio calls we were led on a long walk back to International arrivals and the Immigration desks. Regards, Off road.

Soju Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 That happens from time-to-time at airports when they bus you from the planes and the bus driver isn't paying attention or some miscommunication. Imagine it'll happen many times again in the future. Feel sorry for the guys who went off without realizing what happened though as they'll likely spend a lot of time clearing up the situation later. They were probably thinking to themselves, wow, this is a great new airport...don't even need to check through immigration or customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This had to happen of course.. Did the guys that got off with no check-in actually make it off with no entry stamp? They could be in for a shock when they come to depart if so...
