I flew into Bangkok through the "old" airport and out via the "new"! I am part of history to fly out of the airport on the first day official opening. Wish the cameras "got" me. The new airport is huge. There were many people and many cars. SIA called to advise going to airport early. It take only half an hour from my hotel which is near the old airport and not an hour and half. The reason? The entrance to the highway to the new airport is right at the hotel.
The airport is very spacious and quite well organised considering it is the first day. There were some confusion as the instructions given at the counter were incorrect. The new airport is a lot bigger than the old yet the newspaper reports that it has less gates for the airplanes. Interesting!
