Do you have any tips for my flight to Phuket?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Phuket could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Phuket?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Phuket a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.

Best time to go to Phuket

Peak Season:

Phuket's peak season lasts from November to March. The weather is generally warm and beautiful during this time, with only a little bit of occasional rain. During these months the sea is generally calm and inviting, and the nightlife is in full swing. Cheap flights to Phuket during the peak season are easy to find, just so long as you book well in advance.

Shoulder Season:

April and October make up the shoulder season in Phuket. April is often sunny and pleasant, while October sees an increase of rain. Although these two months vary in weather, what they have in common is a significant decrease in the price of flights and accommodations.

Off Season:

If you do not mind the rain, the off season is a great time to visit Phuket. May through September is considered the wet season and thus the tourist crowds tend to thin out. However, the locals maintain a decent party atmosphere and there is still plenty to do and see.
