Don Mueang International Airport is situated on Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road, 24 kilometers north of downtown Bangkok. This airport was once the main international airport of Thailand, but after construction of Suvarnabhumi Airport started its operation at the end of 2006, all airlines were moved and began operation at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Consequently, Don Mueang International Airport became just a location for airplanes to park for maintenance, or even if some flights did land here, they were just chartered flights or private aircraft flights. It was not until 2012 that Don Mueang International Airport once again opened for service and became a Low Cost Airline hub handling and reducing the overcrowded flights which Suvarnabhumi Airport had to support.
Originally, Don Mueang International Airport consisted of 3 Terminals but currently only Terminal 1 is in use and it services Low Cost Airlines such as Nok Air, Nok Mini, AirAsia, Thai AirAsia, Orient Thai Airlines, Solar Air, Thai Lion Air and chartered flights. The 1st floor area of the Terminal services inbound passengers with Baggage Claim, Baggage Carousel, Customs, Arrivals Hall and Meeting Point, Information Counter, Public Telephone, Post Service, Lost & Found Center, Currency Exchange & Insurance and ATM. The area in front of Level 1 is the arrival platform and taxi services.
The Departure Lounge is situated on the 3rd floor of Terminal 1 and services outbound passengers with its Check-in Counter, Luggage Check in, Luggage Storage Services, Ticketing, Passport Control and Security, Departure Lounge, 2 Concourses, VAT Refunds, Duty Free shops, and restaurants. The area in front of the 3rd floor serves as the departure platform for outbound passengers who come in from Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
Apart from areas which serve the inbound and outbound passengers, Terminal 1 also has underground parking facilities and observation deck on the 4th floor which also houses airline offices and restaurants. The 2nd floor has a connection point to the overpass which goes to the other side of the road and to Don Mueang Railway Station.
