Getting Around BKK Airport

At BKK Airport, navigating the terminal is straightforward thanks to its single, large terminal building which integrates both international and domestic flights. The terminal is divided into different concourses, each designated for specific types of flights. Signage is clear and frequent throughout the facility, guiding you to your desired section, whether you're catching a domestic or international flight. The terminal's layout is linear, making it relatively simple to find your way from one end to the other without unnecessary detours.

Here are some tips to help you get around inside the airport:

  • Jet Bridges and Remote Gates: BKK Airport is equipped with 72 jet bridges and 69 non-jet bridges. If your flight is parked at a remote gate, airport buses are available to transport you to and from the terminal. This is common for flights that do not board directly via jet bridges.
  • Walking and Transit: Given the terminal's large size (it was the largest single-phase constructed terminal in the world at the time of its opening), prepare for potentially long walks between gates. Comfortable footwear is recommended. Additionally, there are moving walkways to help speed up your transit within the terminal.
  • Accessibility: For travelers needing assistance, the airport offers services for disabled passengers, including wheelchair access throughout the terminal.

Overall, while the terminal at BKK Airport is vast, the clear signage and systematic layout facilitate a smooth navigation experience.
