Riyadh is served primarily by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), a major international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and typically used by full-service carriers alongside some Gulf low-cost airlines. Located roughly 35–40 km north of the city centre, RUH can take about 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; airport express buses and private shuttles are also common, with fares generally ranging from modest bus rates to mid-range taxi fares. The airport offers extensive passenger amenities and frequent international connections, but its distance from central Riyadh can mean longer transfer times and added cost compared with smaller, closer airfields used for domestic hops.
Bangkok is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 30–35 km east of downtown and typically takes 30–60 minutes by Airport Rail Link plus taxi or 40–90 minutes by road depending on traffic (fares range from low single digits on rail to mid-double-digit baht for taxis). Don Mueang (DMK) operates as a budget and domestic base for low-cost airlines, roughly 20–25 km north of the city with 30–60 minute taxi transfers or longer in peak hours; buses and airport shuttles are affordable options. BKK offers more amenities and onward connections, while DMK can be quicker for domestic low-cost carriers but is more basic and may require extra time between airports for transfers.
