Thailand trip
Am doing a business trip to China which is requiring an overnight in
Bangkok. Any recommendations for good accomodations near the BKK airport??? The Amari looks fine but seems rather extreme in pricing for the quality of service. Comfort Suites no longer seems to appear on the Choice Hotels' website. I was told the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok is considered an airport hotel, but is it really that close??? Since I'm arriving at 11:30 p.m., I figure the drive in wouldn't be too bad, but I would think that I would have to leave at around 7:30 a.m. to catch a 10:30 flight.

The Amari looks fine but seems rather extreme in pricing for the quality of service. Comfort Suites no longer seems to appear on the Choice Hotels' website. I was told the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok is considered an airport hotel, but is it really that close??? 20 minute taxi ride, depending on traffic. Not really an "airport hotel" but close enough. Since I'm arriving at 11:30 p.m., I figure the drive in wouldn't be too bad, but I would think that I would have to leave at around 7:30 a.m. to catch a 10:30 flight. That's plenty of time. Check in at Don Muang isn't as bad as some other airports. I arrive about 90 minutes before a flight (just in case) and usually spend only 10-15 minutes on check in, if that. |

I hope that is not for an international flight , as checking in at least 2 hours prior to takeoff is standard and required on most flights. Required in what sense? The only time I was 2 hours early for a flight I fell asleep in the airport and missed it. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

No, but I've taken maybe eighty international flights in the last 3 years and haven't been 2 hours early for a single one - nor did I miss any of them. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

I check in, get a boarding pass. Take myself and my carryon and a lot of the time through the same security checkpoint domestic flyers are going through. I doubt the airline has flagged me as an international flier for the TSA people at the checkpoint. |

I don't think there is an actual requirement anywhere. But there are "recommendations". In SFO they were recommending arriving 3 hours before flight time. |
