Airport at a glance

Our catalogue records 8 outbound and 1 inbound corridors at Don Mueang International Airport (DMK / ICAO VTBD), serving Bangkok, Thailand, across 11 carriers with 5 of them based here. Time zone Asia/Bangkok. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 238 departures a week.

Bangkok has more than one airport. Besides DMK there is BKK (Suvarnabhumi Airport), base for Thai Airways, Thai Smile and Bangkok Airways. The common trap is an itinerary that lands at one and departs from the other: that is not a connection, it is a self-managed cross-city transfer with bag reclaim, ground travel and a fresh check-in. Check the airport code on every sector before booking, not just the city name.

IATA and ICAO are used in different places. The three-letter DMK is the IATA code that appears on tickets, bag tags and search screens; VTBD is the four-letter ICAO code used in flight plans, notices to airmen and operational paperwork. IATA codes can collide for historical reasons; ICAO codes do not, and their first letters encode the region. A four-letter code in aviation documentation is not an error — it is a different system.

Airlines serving DMK

11 carriers appear at DMK in our catalogue and we hold an airline row for 7 of them, with baseline baggage spanning 7 to 25 kg. None of the rows we hold sits in a major alliance. 5 of them are based here.

Carriers we hold no row for. Jetstar Asia, VietJet Air, Cebu Pacific and Indonesia AirAsia appear at this airport in our catalogue but have no alliance or baggage record in our database, so we print a dash instead of guessing. Check those carriers’ own pages before buying — an empty cell is more honest than an unsourced number.

DMK route overview

DMK has 8 outbound corridors in our catalogue, roughly 182 departures a week combined. The densest is DMK–KUL at 42 a week, the thinnest DMK–DPS at 14. All figures are estimates of the standard schedule. Block times on those corridors run from 1.2 to 4.2 hours.

Outbound

Inbound

Outbound and inbound are asymmetric because this is a catalogue boundary. We record 8 outbound and 1 inbound corridors for DMK. The gap reflects which route guides we chose to build — weighted to what travellers from Thailand search — not one-way service. The return flights exist whether or not we have published a page for them yet.

Corridors & fares from DMK

The 9 corridors at DMK break down as 8 short-haul (<4h), 1 medium-haul (4–7h), serving mainly ASEAN & regional leisure. We hold a cached fare for 9 of 9 routes, the lowest ฿1,179 on CNX–DMK. The field runs on Asia/Bangkok, ICAO VTBD.

Most DMK corridors here serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. The mix is 11 short hops (under 4 h), 1 medium sector (4–7 h). Fares are shown in Thai baht (THB), and each route guide below carries live cached prices.

Everything is shown in baht, and that matters more than it looks. Fares are converted to THB so they compare on one page, but the underlying prices are set in the currency of the market that issues the ticket. The same corridor can price differently issued in different countries, and the exchange rate moves between our capture passes. Read these as a ranking, not as accounting figures.

Why some rows have no price. We capture lows in passes, and not every corridor returns a value each time. Seasonal routes, thin routes and routes sold through narrow channels report irregularly. An empty cell means no capture succeeded in the latest pass — not that the route is closed or expensive. We leave it blank rather than interpolate, because plausible-looking estimates are exactly what makes a table untrustworthy.

The destination country sets the rules, not the departure airport. The corridors here span 6 countries, each with its own aviation regulator, visa regime and transit conditions. What you are owed changes with the destination and the direction of travel, not with the airport you left from. The route guides carry the detail per corridor.

How to read this list usefully. The frequency figure describes the risk in your plan, not the quality of the route: several departures a day gives you options when something breaks, a few a week means building in a spare day. We hold a cached fare on 8 of the 8 corridors here; the rest have no successful capture yet, which does not mean they cost more.

Direct flights to DMK — 1 route

Our catalogue records 1 inbound corridors into DMK from 1 country, block times 1.2 to 1.2 hours. Frequency figures are estimates combining every carrier on the corridor. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 238 departures a week.

• CNX → DMK — 56×/wk, 1.2 h, low ฿1,179

How to read this list usefully. The frequency figure describes the risk in your plan, not the quality of the route: several departures a day gives you options when something breaks, a few a week means building in a spare day. We hold a cached fare on 1 of the 1 corridor here; the rest have no successful capture yet, which does not mean they cost more.

Direct destinations are not all reachable destinations. This list is the nonstop network in our catalogue. Everything else is reachable by connecting at a hub, which widens the choice and adds a point where the plan can break. If you must connect, make a single ticket the default and only split it when the saving is large enough to be worth the risk you are taking on yourself.

Time zone and connecting at DMK

Our catalogue records 8 outbound and 1 inbound corridors here. DMK runs on Asia/Bangkok, the same as Bangkok. The gap is constant year-round. Every time printed on a boarding pass is local to that airport rather than an elapsed duration, so subtracting one from the other gives you the wrong number.

Offsets make overnight flights deceptive. With DMK the same as Bangkok, a late-night departure can arrive the same morning or the next one on paper for identical flying time. That is the single most common reason transfers and first hotel nights get booked on the wrong date. Read the date on the final sector’s boarding pass, then confirm anything on the ground.

Minimum connection time is not in our data. Every airport publishes one, and the figure differs for domestic-to-domestic, international-to-international and terminal-change connections. A booking system will not sell you less than that on a single ticket — but it will happily let you build less than that yourself across two tickets. That is where passengers most often create risk without realising it.
