Just arrived at Suvarnabhumi with Turkish at 10:30 and the whole arrivals level was deserted.
Both immigration halls empty, I was the only one in the big immigration hall with about 5 immigration booths open with boring officers.
Same thing after customs again a almost empty arrivals Hal. Noticed on the board that 11 international flights were cancelled.
Departure looked not to bad with almost normal amount of people.
So nobody is coming but many people leaving.
No good for the high season.

I arrived back on Wednesday last week and it was mobbed. Typically they run out of immigration forms on the plane and there were none at the desk's. Then they lost my bag!

I actually flew out today and considering TAT are saying numbers are up there were a large number of cancelled flights on the departures board.

Flew out internationally today from Phuket. As all are aware Phuket doesn't have problems of BKK but will and is suffering from  knock on effect from flood situation. No waiting at immigration and generally HKT airport very quiet.....

I will be arriving December 13 at about 1130 AM on EVA from Los Angeles/Taiwan.  I have never had much of a wait at that time.

I left on Wednesday on the EVA flight to London. No waiting at immigration and plane about 60% full.

Most news site report Thai tourism down aboug 40% or so this month due to the floods and other things.  I got an OK price on my plane ticket.  But I am not seeing a lot of super deals down in Pattaya.  looks like the same old price increases around as Christmas approaches

That BR flight from TPE always gets me a 20-30 min wait at immigration. Although I manage to beat the rush from the B777 flight  I always seem to get stuck by the big jet charter from Russia and the leftovers from the 11:15 BR arrival from TPE. Depends on the day of the week I suppose.

You got that right. I was checking out some business class fares to Hong Kong and the TG airfare for the same itinerary as I booked 4 months ago has almost doubled. Also, all the direct flights on the alternative carriers have been sold out for  months. I do however, get the joys of flying on TG's smelly,outdated AB 330. I hope the lav works this flight.
