What are the odds of the old airport opening before then? It would be quite annoying if my international flight came into the new airport, and my domestic connected out of the old one. How far apart are the airports, even? I'm assuming that'd mess a lot of things up...
There is absolutely no chance that DMK will re-open on or before 18 March 2007. If it ever re-opens it would be no earlier than 1 May 2007 based on some of the timetables written up in the local press. Further, as of today Bangkok Airways, Nok Air and AirAsia have announced that they wish to remain at BKK (Suvarnabhumi). AirAsia had been pushing for a transfer back to DMK but they did a 180 sometime over the past 10 days.
