Like getting a restaurant table immediately, but your food order comes out after 4 hours.

[nasanews]

What about the 6000 travelers who were stuck for four hours in  Don Mueang because immigration staff were not informed about arrival flights.

Some news sources are paid to lie.

[akirasan]

Well that was just a misunderstanding, you see

[harada]

Oh yes, Don Meuang is like a tiptoe through the urine.

That was a quick intro to thainess.

" Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi Airports have made to the top ten list of Asia Pacific airports providing on-time service. "

 

If this was carried out by a reputable organization, it should scare the bejeezus out of anyone flying to and from this part of the world.

Errrm its 7th August not 1st April lol

[Bluespunk]

BS. 

[ezflip]

What is so difficult to understand? The planes are on time. The passengers are secondary since they are stuck at immigration. If there was no passengers, Don Mueang and Swampy would win Best Airport Ever in the Whole Know Universe. Which is pretty small when you ask a Thai person...

[Misterwhisper]

What good is it if your flight arrives on time and you then have to waste the next 2 hours lining up at immigration?

 

Even worse, you experience the same wasteful waiting again upon your departure, with you missing your flight because it took off ON TIME.

This just goes to prove you shouldn't believe everything you read in the news. The only way I can see these two airports being in the top ten is if there are only ten airports being included in the survey.

[steven100]

I thought there were suppose to be 5,000 tourists stranded a couple of days ago  ?

 

Amazing Thailand ....

The thing that was missed in this matter, was the survey was conducted by T.A.T.

What's passenger Ying Wong's immigration delay got to do with aircraft on time stats?

[yellowboat]

That problem at Don Muang was so two days ago.  Ancient history for TAT.  Spinning right along.

And in July BKK slipped to 15th place, one wonders what the rating will be for August?

The immigration queues on arrival makes sure you wont miss your return flight.

Absolutely, and the excellent time keeping records remain intact.

Getting aircraft off the ramp on time is priority one even if you lose a few cattle in the process. Keeping the departing cattle happy is priority two. The arriving cattle have the lowest priority.

5555555555555555555555555555555555555555 ... they cannot be serious! Last time I flew through there, international transfer took nearly an hour and a half. And in the middle of this complete chaos (people begging to be allowed through because "my flight leaves in 20 minutes" and being told to go back to the back of the queue -- which went many deep for more than a city block) EVERYTHING stopped for about 10 minutes while the staff changed over. 

[HiSoLowSoNoSo]

Maybe the pilots are taken to attitude adjustment if they don't arrive and depart on time?

Nice analogy.
