Have any Bm's living in LOS or even elsewhere got any news on how the project is going.

I read on the website of an opening date of September 29th 2005 will all or only some airlines be moving to the new airport then.

Just found another report that the airport will not be fully operational until January 2006.

Delayed put back.. Already major contruction issues.. Major underplanning in transport issues.. Major corruption in contractors..

TiT..

I have been told that Don Muang will be kept for domestic and the new airport for international.. That begs the question as to how do connecting flights work.. Surely they dont expect people to arrive at one.. Transfer through BKK traffic to another.. Then take thier domestic flights ?!?!?

My TG lives near Don Muang and reckons it'll take at least 2 1/2 hours to get from one to the other, that probably on a good day. No chance for a quick transfer. Maybe they are trying to get us to stay in BKK overnight? Don't think much thought has gone into this by the authorities.
