Required for something nowadays called International Security , or did you sleep through the last 3 years also. Which takes all of 10 minutes to complete. |

OK, but the airlines cleary *request* that you check in at least 2 hours before takeoff , or would you like to debate that ? Not much point. It's not in dispute that they request it. Likewise, the state police request that you not drive 57 in a 55 mile per hour zone. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

They can request it all they want, until it is REQUIRED, I will show up in the amount of time I need to be there in order to make it to the gate by the REQUIRED boarding time. If its two hours, it is two hours. BTW, is that two hours at the counters, or at the back of the line? The link you posted said "at the airport"... Now, if I am checking in at the First Class counter, do I need the same two hours? If it is the first flight of the day, do I need to be at the airport two hours early if the counter people show up only an hour before the flight? |

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. |

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 stayed at the Rama Gardens Hotel on my way to Ranong last year. Very nice hotel with spacious rooms, about US$ 60, a few minutes from Don Muang by cab. They also have a shuttle bus service. The place is non-smoking, but smokers can go to the beer garden. Can be booked on-line. M |

Ahh so you must be one of the morons who check in 10 mins before departure and make the plane late for everyone Maybe twice in the past few years I've been the last person on the plane, and they weren't international flights (just Southwest 1-hour hops). Fact is there's just a whole lot of sitting around in the departure lounge to look forward to if you get there that early. Also I'm pretty sure if I had been arguing in favor of getting there three hours in advance you'd be the first one in line to tell me what a moron I was for not getting there at the last minute. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

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. *******5555555 Not if you are the "great Tchiowa". |
