The Thailand island of Phuket is a dream destination for many people. However, while we can book package holidays to the island, it is often better to make our own plans. This would involve booking flights to Phuket independently of accommodation, excursions, and car hire. Fortunately, there are several ways we can book those flights easily, conveniently, and safely online.
Safety First
Most websites operating in the travel industry are safe and easy to use. However, it can be difficult to tell the difference between genuine and fake sites. We should use a secure site, preferably one we’re familiar with, and pay using a credit card to ensure we have protection, just in case we’re caught out.
Get Prices for Flights from Different Airports
There is only one airport on the island – Phuket International Airport. However, there may be more than one departure airport we could fly from. Prices may vary markedly from one to another. It may be cheaper to fly from one than another, even with the potential for additional costs to reach the airport. Crunching the numbers will help get the best flights to Phuket that won’t break our budget.
Get Comparison Prices
Various airlines provide flights to Phuket that can be booked in advance or at little notice. Regardless of when we travel, we should always get prices from several sources. It is often best to book in advance if you can; one source found a 90-day lead time often garnered the most affordable prices.
Phuket offers the potential for a memorable holiday. It is far better to save as much cash as we can to spend while we’re there, rather than spending it unnecessarily on the trip to the destination itself. These tips will help us achieve that aim.
