Udon Air Passenger Traffic

Post by **bignote1** » January 7, 2015, 4:05 am

In the EU ......in the event of a cancellation, the passenger is entitled, among other things, to cash compensation of Euros 250/400/600 for flights type 1, 2 and 3.
Flight 1----A flight of less than 1500km in distance.
Flight 2----A flight within the EU between 1500 and 3500km
Flight 3----A flight not within the EU of greater than 3500km.
Are there no rules in Thailand regarding passenger compensation in LOS?

Then again I would not want the compensation set so high as so the airline is pushing to fly in very bad weather conditions, or when the airplane has a red-X maintenance condition, or heaven forbid the pilot is still drunk from the night before

I just got given 1200 baht by Bangkok airways for bringing forward my UD to Bangers flight about 2 hours and they sent SMS, email and called to advise and explain. Excellent service weasel

The numbers continue to grow for Udon! I suspect a good percentage of those numbers are locals traveling back and forth to Bangkok via air instead of bus/van/car. But in any case......that's a lot of passenger traffic compared to a few years ago.

Was at the airport yesterday and parking is now a real problem. Nearly every parking bay had vehicles double parked and i wonder how many left their brakes off .... Also wheel clamping is now in use. Extra parking is sorely needed. I remember 5 years ago you could pull into any section and pick your space.

Privatise the car parking, WOW what a good idea. Keep the pigs out of the trough with government decisions.

Multi Storey parking would be built within a year and 50 baht for first hour and stagger the prices upwards etc.....

I thought the system at the end parking section, near arrivals, appeared to work ok? Seems one hour limit on parking, after which a fine is in operation. Who is running it, whether it's handled properly if you get near the hour mark, I'm not sure ( no ticket seemingly given on your time of arrival) but I've had no hassles having used it a couple of times - and the system creates some empty spaces. Ok if you're just dropping off/collecting passengers, just watch the time.

Came back Udonsville Thai airways in the afternoon,there were two Lion airplanes already there

Parking was horrendous,felt sorry if anybody had properly parked there,the double parking of the cars would have made it impossible to shunt them all out of the way to get out

Airport authorities should physically check at nightime.10pm preferably as that is the timing for last flight out of Udon and check how many cars are using the carpark as longstay

Parking inspectors already out with the giks.

Bring on wheel bracing. Only take a day to get the word around.

Oh my God, I have been away a long time!

I've said it before.. As far as I know the Airport Organization of Thailand (AOT) owns the airport and its grounds and is responsible for managing it.. Why they can't scrape down any of the many fields west of the main parking lot and pave them, adding several hundred slots is beyond me... I wager they could get it done in two weeks time.. for the long term perhaps a 4 level parking garage out front to quadruple what they have now... Air travel into Udon will only go up over the next few years..

Swampy Parking 24 hr 250 Baht.So someone is loosing a heck of a lot of money each day in Udon.

Remove seating, shops etc from the ground floor of the terminal, widen the doors slightly so that the locals can park inside as close to the departure point as possible. I presume creating a car park further from the terminal building with a free shuttle bus is not in the equation.

Left the car overnight for free Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights just gone. This facility is for lanes 1-5 opposite the check in area. The only thing is you will likely have to arrive early in the hope that someone leaves and a space becomes available. Same old nonsense applies with people double parking in the long stay area and some unable to be shunted due to the retards leaving the handbrakes on or in gear.
