Fly to Bangkok's Airport on the Skytrain

Air travel in Bangkok needs some good news after all the disasters with their new Suvarnabhumi Airport. The news is that the fast Skytrain Airport Link is, uh, on track to open by December this year, making life a whole lot easier for anyone trying to get to the airport.

The airport-bound Skytrain will connect Suvarnabhumi with the almost-built City Air Terminal. The new building will have full check-in facilities where passengers will get boarding cards and check their baggage, then board a train to the airport with their baggage being loaded separately.

Fifteen minutes later, you'll be out of the city and in the airport, already checked in and ready to wait around for your boarding call. It sounds almost too relaxing to be true, so we'll wait until December to see how it holds up in reality.
