Chiang Rai International Airport (Mae Fah Luang Int'l) CEIVTCT

Mae Fah Luang–Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI) is a compact regional airport serving Chiang Rai and nearby northern Thailand, about 8 km from the city centre. Despite the “International” name and the presence of immigration/customs facilities, it is not a major hub and is not an oneworld, Star Alliance or SkyTeam hub. For frequent flyers, think of CEI mainly as an origin/destination airport for domestic Thailand flying, especially Bangkok links, with low-cost carriers and Thai network service varying by season and schedule. The airport has one passenger terminal, so there is no inter-terminal transfer problem; domestic and any international processing are handled within the same building. It is practical for short ground times but not designed for complex airside connections, premium lounge-hopping or overnight airside stays.
