working to solve issues of overcrowding and painfully long immigration lines
that are causing many passengers to miss flights at Bangkok's
Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Immigration troubles have been acute for
nearly a month according to various reports, with some travelers complaining
of wait times of more than two hours at both departure and arrival
immigration checkpoints last week. Depending on the time of day,
international fliers either breeze through or get stuck in travel gridlock.
"Allow plenty of time to go through passport control," advised traveler J
Cullen of the United Kingdom on Skytrax's Airlinequality.com on Wednesday.
"It took us a very uncomfortable [and squashed] hour to get through a queue
of only 20 meters." In response to the overcrowding and insufferable lines,
Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra says she wants all budget carriers to
move to Bangkok's secondary Don Muang airport to ease congestion at
Suvarnabhumi. read more
