In the interest of our valued passengers transiting through Bangkok, Drukair brings to you a quick overview of the current transit processes at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok.
Step 1: Passengers can follow the signage and proceed to transit area on the 3rd floor. After passing through the security X-ray check, passenger will arrive at the international airlines’ transfer counters on the 3rd floor (opening time of transfer counters vary depending on individual airlines).
Step 2: At the transfer counter, the passengers have to produce their baggage tags received from the first carrier and specifically inform the transit counter staff to confirm the transfer of the baggage on the onward flight. Travel documents are also checked at the transfer counter (and if all requirements are met, boarding passes will be issued accordingly).
Notices:
1. For some cases, check-in at transfer counter happens very early even though the flight is only on the next day. In such cases, the boarding pass you're issued with will not have the boarding gate number mentioned as it would not have been assigned by the airport authority yet. But the boarding pass will have the boarding time reflected and the passengers will have to keep checking on the Flight Information Display System for their boarding gate number.
2. For passengers that have already web checked-in, document check will take place at the boarding gate (but it is advisable to produce your baggage tags for checked-in baggage, if any, at the transfer counter to avoid any last minute unpleasantries).
3. Transit time at Bangkok must NOT exceed 24 Hours, failing to comply with which may result in denial of acceptance by the onward carrier and may also lead to imposition of penalties.
4. Transit cannot be facilitated to/from low cost carriers due to issues with airport tax.
We hope that this information will be helpful in easing your journey during this trying times.
We wish you all a safe flight.
Thank you.
