I've had mixed experience interlining on international itineraries. Just because the airlines have an agreement doesn't mean you'll get to benefit from it.

There is a transit visa, but to be honest it's easier to come in with an exempt entry, if you're eligible. Transit visas are applied for at a consulate or embassy and they have a cost. It's a lot of work for a few hours. You should have no problems entering the country on an exempt stamp if you have a flight a few hours later.

One thing to keep in mind when booking separate tickets - if your first flight is delayed and you miss the onward leg, it's 100% your responsibility and you'll have to pay whatever fees are associated with missing a flight and reticketing, neither airline will help you or is responsible for helping you.

I don't know what you're going on about. It's not relevant to anything anyone had said. You haven't read anything by the OP or her replies.

But, on two separate tickets, she will have to clear customs some way or another. She cannot stay in transit. There are very very limited circumstances where she would be allowed to stay in transit on two separate tickets, and it's not worth going into that here because it's about the way the flight is booked, the airlines involved etc...

@Robert ******

you should read everything again, I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

She can't stay in transit on two separate tickets, no matter what airport (s) she uses.

That she can stay inside transit. This is only applicable if she's on a single ticket. She'd have two separate tickets

Robert Lagas this is not true if it's two separate tickets, unless they are on the same PNR and the airlines have interline agreements and the check-in staff staff at the departure airport actually honor the interline agreements and thru-check any baggage.

Cindy Fonseca this is for cases where it's a single passenger name record (PNR). IF you can get two sperate tickets on the same PNR it'll be much easier to avoid clearing customs and having your bags interlined. But don't count on this, you'll need a good travel agent to make a ticket like this for you.

If you're flying on two separate tickets, it's almost certain you'll have to clear customs to collect your luggage and recheck it. Some airlines may interline it for you, but count on having to clear customs and enter the country to collect your bags and check in for your next segment.

TW does SWIFT transfers for $3. Send USD to your THB account. You'll get the bank's TT rate, not the TW rate (since they're sending USD not THB) but it's still cheaper and easier than setting up SWIFT network transfers direct from your US bank. Will always show as international.

You can check the schedule on the srt website. If the train don't work for you, grab a taxi to Future Park. Vans leave from the parking lot every fifteen minutes or so. You can also get vans at Mochit BTS, but this is a slight bit of backtracking
