Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Bangkok Airport to Don Mueang International Airport transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation.

Taxi or private transfer from Bangkok Airport to Don Mueang International Airport?

A pre-booked Bangkok Airport to Don Mueang International Airport transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Bangkok Airport to Don Mueang International Airport per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Don Mueang International Airport involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Don Mueang International Airport, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Don Mueang International Airport: is there a bus, train or metro?

The Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi reaches Phaya Thai in half an hour, and Don Mueang has a train and buses; both end with a taxi or a hot walk to the hotel with luggage, which is why families and late arrivals book a car to the door.

If you are weighing the Bangkok Airport to Don Mueang International Airport options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Bangkok, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed.

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Don Mueang International Airport. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Good to know before you land at Bangkok Airport

Check whether your flight lands at BKK or DMK - they are on opposite sides of the city - and tell us the hotel's soi number, since Sukhumvit alone runs for 20 km.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Bangkok Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Bangkok Airport.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Don Mueang International Airport transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Don Mueang International Airport transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
