We got to the airport in plenty of time for our flight to Bangkok, which was a good job because at first they told us there was only one seat booked for us and we didnt really fancy cramming into the one seat for 5 hours! Luckily they sorted it and after a mini heart attack over the prices of airport food after eating 5 rupee samosas for so long, we boarded the plane.
