Special certificate for being delivered to the wrong airport
Today’s Bangkok Post reports that the latest (i.e., today’s) all-systems-go dateline for Suvarnabhumi Airport is September 28. More interestingly is the following:
Ahead of Sept 28, Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways, PB Air, Nok Air, One-Two-Go and Thai AirAsia would direct some of their non-connecting domestic flights to land at Suvarnabhumi from July 29 for real tests. But flights out of Bangkok would depart from Don Muang as usual.
There would be enough public transport services and facilities available to serve passengers of the selected flights from July 29 onwards, and the passengers would also receive special certificates to mark their early appearance at the new airport, said Mr Pongsak.
So you get dropped off at the wrong airport and they even give you a certificate to show for it — how excellent! Too bad if you had planned to connect to another airline and had allowed just two hours for transfers.
