Recent Traveller Feedback
Departed Don Mueang Airport on a morning flight to Krabi. Security follows the standard 100 ml liquid rule for carry on luggage. I had my travel size toiletries in a clear zip lock bag and they passed through without any issues. The domestic terminal at DMK is modern and security lines move fast.
Booked the Nok MAX fare from Bangkok to Phuket and had 30 kg of checked baggage included. The Nok Lite fare would have been cheaper but comes with zero free checked bags so MAX was worth it for my holiday luggage. Check in at Don Mueang was quick and my bag arrived safely at HKT.
Flew Nok Air from Bangkok to Chiang Mai on the Nok X-tra fare. My 7 kg carry-on measured 56 cm and fit easily in the overhead bin on the Boeing 737. I also brought a small handbag as my personal item measuring about 40 cm and nobody questioned it. Staff at DMK were friendly and the flight departed right on time.
