Common questions about travel to Phuket

These are some of the most common questions people ask before booking a trip to Phuket, why not see if something you're wondering is here?

Yes. You can sometimes fly direct to Phuket from the UK, but most direct services are seasonal or charter flights rather than year-round scheduled routes. Major UK direct options commonly operate from London Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham at peak times. While other UK airports may run occasional charters, otherwise most travellers connect via hub cities such as Bangkok, Singapore, Doha or Kuala Lumpur. If you need nonstop options, search for direct flights to Phuket on our Flight Search Tool to compare dates.
A direct flight time from London (Heathrow) to Phuket typically falls around 12-13 hours in the air. But most flights from Heathrow include one stop and a total door-to-door journey of 14-18+ hours depending on the connection and layover length. Check your specific routing for the exact schedule.
The UK airports that most commonly offer direct flights to Phuket are London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN) and Birmingham (BHX). These are the main departure points for scheduled charters and seasonal direct services. Smaller regional airports may operate occasional charter flights at particular times of year, so always check current schedules for your travel month. You can always ask Oceans Travel on our Forum to find out!
Visa rules depend on your nationality. Many travellers are currently eligible for Thailand’s Tourist Visa Exemption. This allows a visa-free stay. However, make sure to check the exact length for your passport. As it must have at least 6 months validity on arrival! While other nationalities may need a visa on arrival or must apply in advance. Always confirm the current visa for Phuket before booking. All visitors must now complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before arrival. Contact Oceans Travel if you need extra assistance or have any concerns or questions you would like to ask!
Yes. Flights to Phuket are generally safe during the monsoon. But the May-October wet season brings heavier rain, possible short-term storm disruptions and a higher chance of delays or cancellations. Airlines and Phuket Airport operate normally, yet you should book flexible tickets. Buy travel insurance that covers delay/cancellation, which Oceans Travel does! Additionally, allow extra time for transfers during monsoon months.
Baggage allowances vary by airline and fare type. As a rough guide, full-service long-haul carriers commonly include one checked bag of 23kg (sometimes 20-30kg depending on airline/fare) and a cabin bag of about 7-10kg. While low-cost carriers often charge for holding luggage and limit carry-on weight tightly. Always check the exact baggage allowance for your flights to Phuket on your ticket or with Oceans Travel when you book. So you can add or upgrade baggage before arriving at the airport.

How to Find the Cheapest Flights to Phuket

When you are looking for the cheapest flights to Phuket, the best strategy is to be flexible and use Oceans Travel's tools. Try travelling in the low season on the island (September often is the cheapest month for international fares). Pick mid-week departures if possible, see a range of dates using our flight tool! You compare routes and nearby airports, so you see cheaper connections and less transit time. Then sign up to the Oceans Travel newsletter, so you're first to know about exclusive Phuket fare drops and limited-time offers we publish.

 

Book a few months ahead for off-peak travel (but avoid the December-January peak if you want the lowest prices). Think about shoulder-season travelling for a balance of price and weather. Additionally our flight search tool can be used to quickly look at alternative arrival options. Such as routing via a major regional hub plus a short domestic link. All of which helps you find the lowest fares to suit your dates and budget when it comes to finding flights to Phuket.

When to Visit Phuket

The best time to visit Phuket is the dry/peak season from November to March. You will get the most reliably sunny days, calm seas and excellent beach and boat conditions. These are ideal for general sightseeing and island-hopping. For beach lovers and general sight-seeing, aim for November-March when the weather is best. For divers and snorkellers target November-April when the Similan and the surrounding dive sites are open and visibility is often at its clearest time of year. If you're a surfer or want bigger swells, the monsoon months between May and October hold the best (peak surfs June-September).

 

Budget travellers should look at the green/low season (May-October) for lower prices in hotels and less crowds although September is often the cheapest time to get flights to Phuket. Families usually prefer the drier, calmer, high season (December-February) for safe sea conditions and easy day trips. While the honeymooners and photographers will appreciate the November-March time period where they are rewarded with the clearest skies and sunsets. But if you're interested in lush, dramatic landscapes and getting the best value. The green season still has its perks like less likely to heavy rain, lower prices.

Most Popular Routes and Airlines

Phuket's busiest connections are with regional hubs and a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers. The most popular route connections are domestic and short-haul international connections to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi & Don Mueang), Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. These three form the importance of arrivals and onward traffic to the island. These are served through Bangkok Airways/Bangkok Airways and low cost carriers such as Air Asia and Scoot. 

 

From farther afield, major global carriers offer one-stop, or seasonal services into Phuket via hub cities. Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines are important long-haul/one-stop routes from Asia-Pacific. While Gulf and Middle East (Qatar Airways, Etihad, and seasonal European charters such as TUI/Edelweiss for winter sun). All of these link Europe and the Americas via Doha, Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Phuket is also served by a number of direct connections with international destinations. Including Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei and Muscat with Turkish Airlines and Oman Air on longer trans continental routes.

Phuket has a variety of activities to appeal to all kinds of travellers. Begin with a visit to the Big Buddha, a 45-metre-tall statue on top of Nakkerd Hill with panoramic views of the island. For a cultural experience, check out Wat Chalong, Phuket's most significant Buddhist temple, noted for its serene atmosphere and historical significance. Nature-lovers can take a tour of Phang Nga Bay, known for its limestone karst formations and the emerald green waters, or go to Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Sanctuary to see Phuket's lush rainforest and diverse wildlife.

 

For beach lovers, Patong Beach is full of energy, with nightlife and water sports while Kata beach is for a relaxing time with clear waters for swimming and snorkelling. History buffs won't want to miss Phuket Old Town, which is famous for its Sino-Portuguese architecture and markets. Lastly, adventure seekers can have a day at Andamanda Phuket, a huge water park with exciting slides and a lazy river environment.

Neighbourhoods and Surroundings

Phuket has a diverse range of neighbourhoods and surroundings to suit all types of travellers. Patong, Kata and Karon are Phuket's main coastal trio. Patong is the lively centre of nightlife and big beach tourism. Kata and Karon are nearby and are quieter and family-friendly bases with easy access to shops and restaurants. Kamala and Surin/Bang Tao (Laguna area) to the Northwest draws travellers after tranquil beaches and high end resorts. While Nai Harn and Rawai in the island's southern tip feel more local and laidback with strong dining and boat-departure ties.

 

Phuket Town (Old Town) is the island's cultural and food centre which is useful if you are interested in markets, cafes and a city vibe rather than a resort stay. The northwest coast (Mai Khao, Nai Yang) is quieter and close to the airport and outside the island you have easy day trip neighbours and quieter alternatives. Such as Khao Lak, Phang Nga and the Koh Yao islands. Together these neighbourhoods and nearby towns provide visitors with a true choice of atmosphere and practical bases when booking your flights to Phuket.
