Find your operating airline and flight on the departure board

On Level 4 departures, look up your operating airline and flight, then go to the assigned counters. Q5–10 means counters 5 through 10 in Row Q; it is not a boarding gate.

The order below is check-in, ticketing, airport offices, baggage and reservation support. Airlines are alphabetical within each section. Assignments may change by day or season, so use the current departure board.

Check-in and airline contact FAQs

What does a counter code such as Q5–10 mean?

It means check-in counters 5 to 10 in Row Q. The letter identifies the row and the numbers identify desks; neither is a boarding gate.

Can a counter change by day?

Yes. Read any day-specific assignment in the airline’s entry and check the current departure board against your own flight number and date.

Do all flights of an airline use the same check-in hours?

Not necessarily. Where flight-specific hours are listed, use the entry for your flight and date. An incoming flight does not establish the departure counter’s opening hours.

Can I arrive at the airport at check-in closing time?

Closing time is not a recommended arrival time. Allow time to find the desk and queue, and finish the required formalities before the airline’s deadline. Aircraft or flight exceptions must be read separately.

Can I check in at an office or baggage contact?

Those desks serve different purposes. Use check-in for departure formalities; report missing or damaged bags to baggage staff before leaving the airport.

My flight is delayed · US–Thailand →

Ask the airline for the latest departure information. Keep the original schedule and delay notices. Ask about the assistance you need and how to obtain written proof of the disruption.

My suitcase is damaged · US–Thailand →

Show the damage to baggage staff before leaving the airport. Photograph the damage and keep your baggage tag and report. Check the airline’s separate written-notice requirements after the airport report.

Dates are the retained checks for each record. Counter hours normally refer to Thai local time; follow another time zone where explicitly stated.
