Voice of Travelers to Myanmar
My parents were very happy
The Myanmar airport is great! 20 mins from my parents' place and traffic is rarely a problem. Check in is quick with an air ticket (quicker if you check in online the night before) and then it's a stroll through security and a short walk onto the plane. Hopefully with the new international terminal they'll upgrade the domestic terminal too!
Very Smooth Flight
I booked an air ticket with Myanmar Airlines operated by Singapore Airlines. I didn't bother to do online check in, as I did not have easy access to a printer and check in at the desk was free (although from now on cheaper air tickets will not have a free airport desk check in). Employees at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Security checks your air ticket after passport control and separately for each gate. Boarding was orderly and quick and takeoff and landing were on time. On arrival, baggage was retrieved really fast. They have some kind of wifi/entertainment system on the plane, but I did not try it out.
