The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bangkok?", "answer": "From Don Mueang Airport (DMK), the most used option is the metered taxi, which runs about 30 minutes to an hour to central Bangkok for roughly 200–220 THB plus a 50 THB airport surcharge; it's the fastest and most convenient door-to-door choice. Public buses like No. 29 to Siam or 554/555 to Suvarnabhumi are the cheapest at 18–23 THB but slower and less comfortable. There's also a free internal shuttle connecting DMK to Suvarnabhumi Airport every 30 minutes from 05:00 to 24:00, useful for transfers but not for reaching the city center directly. Mass transit is available by taking a bus or taxi to Mo Chit (14 km, about 150 THB) to connect to the BTS Skytrain or MRT.

The international terminal is only accessible by road, but travelers can take a free inter-terminal shuttle bus to the domestic terminal and subway station, or use scheduled airport buses to Hakata Station and the Tenjin area.
