More than 300,000 travellers are stranded in Thailand, trapped in the siege of Bangkok's two airports by anti-government demonstrators.

All commercial flights in and out of the capital have been halted. Meanwhile, airlines were flying dozens of empty planes out of the city's Suvarnabhumi international airport.

Some 30 planes were flown out on Sunday and an additional 50 were moved later, some to protest-free airports elsewhere in Thailand so that stranded tourists, businesspeople and others can fly out of the country, said Serirat Prasutanont, acting director of the Airports Authority of Thailand.
