Bangkok airport rail link opens

After numerous setbacks and delays, Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport rail link has finally opened.

A non-stop 15-minute Express Service now connects Suvarnabhumi Airport with the City Air Terminal (CAT) in Bangkok's Makkasan area.

The fare will be 150 baht (£3), discounted to 100 baht (£2) until the end of the year.

The cheaper City Line, operating on the same network as the Express Service, will take approximately 30 minutes to reach the airport from its furthest stations.

A baggage check-in service will be available at the Makkasan terminal from the end of the year.

The airport link can handle up to 50,000 passengers a day.
