Our flight from Chiang Mai to Don Mueang Airport was delayed, but the airline did a good job informing us about the schedule change a few days in advance. On the day itself, there was an additional 45-minute delay, which was slightly inconvenient but manageable. Overall, the trip went smoothly, the staff handled the situation professionally, and the flight experience itself was comfortable.
