人生如夢
"in the interest of providing better service to our passengers."

沒了物件省了流量
请问有人知道这个新的起降点, 需要怎么去/ 去市区?
他會發光卻沒照亮我
聽它在鬼扯+o(

對旅客有益在哪(離曼谷市區比較近 進出市區方便?=_=)

以後若有泰國國內線 & 國際線(不同航空公司)的互轉需求時

就得再多花上二三小時往返新舊機場的交通時間

一想到就很麻煩~~:-S

PS:應該是這個關係吧 為了舒緩Suvarnabhumi新機場的擁塞情形 之前就有相關的新聞了~~

Budget airlines to fly from Don Mueang

Govt decision prompted by mounting chaos and congestion at Suvarnabhumi

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has ordered that all low-cost airlines move to Don Mueang Airport to improve air and runway traffic at Suvarnabhumi, but the plan is unlikely to ease the current turmoil frustrating countless travellers.

The shift of low-cost carriers to Don Mueang was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism and Sports Minister Chumpol Silapa-archa yesterday in response to a growing outcry from departing Suvarnabhumi passengers, many of whom have missed flights or suffered close calls.

People familiar with the problem doubt whether the long-planned move of low-cost services to Don Mueang will ease the current crisis at Suvarnabhumi, where renovation work has cut the capacity of immigration checkpoints by two-thirds.

Officials contacted by The Nation yesterday could not say for certain when the renovation work would be completed.

Chumpol admitted that the current problem of passenger congestion stemmed from the fact that only one of Suvarnabhumi's three immigration gates was operating.

International passengers are now being advised to arrive at the airport at least three hours before their flight leaves, rather than the standard two hours.

Chumpol said news of the passenger bottleneck only reached him on Wednesday. He said he could not get involved with the problem but gave assurances that the transfer of low-cost airlines to Don Mueang Airport would help reduce the congestion.

He is now working with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Tourist Police, and Airports of Thailand (AOT) to help increase personnel by 30 to 40.

Meanwhile, Deputy Transport Minister Chatchart Sithipan said yesterday that in the short term, the ministry would increase officers at the Suvarnabhumi's immigration areas to help relieve congestion in the short term. AOT, as the airport operator, has been assigned the task. In addition, the ministry is coordinating with police to help out.

In the long term, he said the airport would deploy technologies such as an e-passport system that consumes less time, especially with Thai passengers. This would also resolve the problem of congestion at the airport during rush hours. Currently, Suvarnabhumi has annual traffic of 48 million passengers, in excess of its capacity of 45 million.

An Immigration Police source said increasing checkpoint staff was not the answer. "All checkpoints are being manned to full capacity. The problem is not shortage of personnel," the source said.

A source at the Transport Ministry said the government planned to move all domestic and international flights serviced by low-cost airlines to Don Mueang Airport in a bid to resolve congestion at Suvarnabhumi Airport in the long run.

"It's believed that the government must encourage low-cost airlines with incentives to move their services to Don Mueang Airport," said the source, adding that AirAsia alone had 82-90 flights daily.

Apart from AirAsia, major low-cost airlines using Suvarnabhumi Airport include Orient Thai.

Somchai Sawasdipol, acting director of Suvarnabhumi Airport, said he had coordinated with immigration officials to solve the problem of long queues and would pay overtime to officials of Bt100,000 per day as incentive.

Of total immigration counters, 124 are for inbound passengers and 80 are for the outbound.

Maiyarat Pheerayakoses, president of the Association of Domestic Travel, said she had no problem with the government move to shift all low-cost flights to Don Mueang Airport. However, the government should do it very carefully, especially in cases of passengers with connecting flights.

As a long-term solution, she said she did not mind having two airports in Bangkok. It is common in other nations to have separate domestic and international airports. However, transport connection between the two must be developed well to make it convenient for passengers.

The new phase of construction development at Suvarnabhumi should proceed quickly so as to be ready to serve the growing number of passengers after the implementation of the Asean Economic Community in 2015, she said.

Speaking of the current congestion, she said the problem was due to mismanagement by the Immigration Bureau at the airport. She urged the agency to tackle the problem quickly by increasing the number of officers working at the airport.

槍硬情濃
我的日期是10月13号, 这次带父母家人,一共6个人, 想说从机场去市区, 还有从市区去机场会不会很不放便? 因为没有airport link 了。
这个Don Mueang機場 有机场taxi 吗? 去市区, 大概多少钱呢?
別讓我們變成回憶
舊機場要變成LCCT鐵皮屋機場

又沒機場快線
仇家太多不方便透露姓名
请问有人知道这个新的起降点, 需要怎么去/ 去市区?

a. 巴士(公交车)到市区

空调和普通大巴。尽管空调大巴的价格比机场大巴便宜好多,公交经常人满为患,尤其是在高峰期。一共有5(应该是6)条大巴线路连接机场和曼谷的不同地区。

普通大巴:
29路 机场-曼谷火车站((Hua Lamphong))
59路 机场- 玉佛寺 (Sanam Luang)
95路 机场- Ram Indra Rd. – Ramkhamhaeng Rd.
空调车:
4路:机场-席隆
29路:胜利纪念碑-曼谷火车站(Hua Lamphong)
10路: 胜利纪念碑-南部地区汽车站

担心市区堵车的同学,可考虑坐以上公交到Chatuchak(翻译五花八门,扎都甲,乍都乍,插肚插。。。),只需两个站。然后转轨道交通(天铁Mo Chit站;或地铁Chatuchak站),便可快速抵达天地铁、机场快铁所能到达的任何地方。曼谷轨道交通全图见下方

b. 出租车。

在机场到达大厅有个小岗亭可以租到打表的出租车。大部分市区到DON MUANG都是200-250铢间,但是如果从Don Muang出来,还有50铢收费+30~40铢高架费用。也就是400铢可到市区。

c. 火车

廊曼机场,还可以坐火车进入曼谷市区。以下由无奈哥分享

火车票查询(泰国铁道部官网)

从廊曼机场,还可以坐火车到曼谷市区。
火车的好处,在于超级便宜,不到10铢即可到市区,堪称泰国最便宜的机场交通。

廊曼机场门口就是火车站,名字是廊曼火车站,Don Mueang Train Station
曼谷市区,则是华南蓬火车站,正式名字是曼谷火车站,Bangkok Train Station

到此网站,廊曼机场的火车站名字是Don Muang,华南蓬火车站的名字是Bangkok

华南蓬=廊曼机场站 有两条线在运行,分别是Northern和North eastern

每天这两地的班次很多,运行时间从40-50分钟不等。每小时1-3班
华南蓬-廊曼方向 最早一班5:45,最晚班23:40
廊曼-华南蓬方向 最早一班凌晨2点多,最晚班22点左右

因為曼谷機場Suvarnabhimi 機場已經爆量,所以亞洲航空將在 2012年十月移至廊曼機場(Don mueang) ,請各位背包棧友注意。

AirAsia Ready to Transfer Flight Operations to Don Mueang Airport from October 1st, 2012

Bangkok, 25 June 2012

AirAsia affirms its readiness to transfer all operations to Don Mueang International Airport by October 1st, 2012. The airline assures Don Mueang Airport will be able to accommodate its growing fleet and provide its customers with the utmost satisfaction.

Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said that AirAsia’s decision to return to Don Mueang Airport was carefully assessed as he noted that the capabilities of Don Mueang Airport are in line with AirAsia’s own growth plan. Thorough consideration into transferring to Don Mueang Airport found that the airport’s capabilities, coupled with the Airports of Thailand Company’s assistance measures, meant AirAsia could better manage its cost more effectively and provide passengers with improved service.

“The uncongested Don Mueang Airport is sure to prove a benefit to AirAsia when it boosts its fleet of Airbus A320s to a total of 48 and welcomes more customers. The airport’s location also makes it conducive to further travel. Prospective travelers should have confidence in what Don Mueang has to offer”, said Mr. Tassapon.

AirAsia has scheduled October 1st this year as the date when all of its services will be based at Don Mueang Airport. The airline’s flights will retain their FD code and original schedules. Passengers who are affected by the switch to Don Mueang Airport, may alter their flights by either choosing another travel date on the same route either 7 days before or after their original travel date, at no additional cost. Passengers also have an option to convert the paid flight into credit shell available to be used within the next 90 days. The change options are only available to affected passengers who purchased their tickets before 26 June 2012 whose travel dates are from 1 October 2012 onwards.

檸檬不該羡慕西瓜的甜
亞航10月也要搬家搬到舊機場了...
心軟是病不治要命
「曼谷郵報」報導,泰國自去年大水災後,慘遭水淹的「廊曼機場」已在三月恢復營運,當局表示,凡是願意轉到「廊曼機場」設櫃的航空公司在飛機起降及使用機棚方面,可享有高達一折的優惠。我想這是廉價航空的吸引力吧
