Thai AirAsia X switches all flights to Don Mueang Airport

Thai AirAsia X has switched all its international flights back to Don Mueang Airport, effective yesterday, October 1. If you’re jetting off to Japan, South Korea, China, or Australia, you’d better double-check your flight details—or risk turning up at the wrong airport.

All flights under Thai AirAsia X (code XJ) to popular destinations like Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Seoul, Shanghai, and Sydney have now shifted to Don Mueang Airport. Passengers are urged to check in at the counters located in Rows 6 to 7 of the International Terminal 1 on the 3rd floor. You can do this up to three hours before your departure.

Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia X, confirmed the change.

“We are fully ready to serve passengers from Don Muang Airport starting today.”

He assured that passengers would be notified via email, but advised everyone to verify their flight schedules to avoid any inconvenience.

Convenience remains a top priority, with the airline reminding travellers that they can check in via multiple channels, including the AirAsia MOVE app or online check-in. Despite the relocation, flight times remain unchanged.

However, not all AirAsia flights are affected. Domestic flights to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, and Hat Yai—operated by Thai AirAsia (code FD)—will still depart from Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports, reported The Nation.

In related news, AirAsia is taking punctuality to new heights with its latest Thai campaign, “Thank You for Being on Time.” In a bold move, the airline is not just focusing on its timeliness but celebrating passengers who make punctuality a lifestyle.

The campaign, created by the creative agency Chujai, features two heartwarming video spots directed by Thanachai Srivichai.

The 15 and 48-second ads capture the story of two friends, one perpetually late, and the other always on time. In a touching twist, the punctual friend is seen being applauded by AirAsia staff and fellow passengers for her dedication to timeliness, while the latecomer struggles to keep her promises.
