nasanews Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 " Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi Airports have made to the top ten list of Asia Pacific airports providing on-time service.

ezflip Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
