Phuket International Airport (HKT)
Your flight, not a generic airport page
The hour you land changes everything about arriving in Phuket. A midday landing means a long queue in the sun; half past eight at night means negotiating a fare in the dark; ten to six in the morning means eight hours before your room is ready. Pick your flight below — each guide covers what actually happens on that arrival, and the fixed price to get you out of the airport.

Australia
Perth → Phuket
Jetstar · JQ71
Lands at Phuket (HKT) around 12:55
The shortest long-haul run into Phuket: roughly six and a quarter hours from Perth, wheels down just before one in the afternoon. You clear immigration in daylight with the whole afternoon still ahead of you.
Australia
Melbourne → Phuket
Jetstar · JQ17
Lands at Phuket (HKT) around 20:40
Just under nine hours from Melbourne, landing in the dark at about half past eight in the evening. Almost everyone on this flight goes straight to a hotel and straight to bed.
Australia
Sydney → Phuket
Jetstar
Lands at Phuket (HKT) in the evening
Around nine hours from Sydney, landing in the evening. Fewer flights than Melbourne, so the plane is usually full and the baggage hall busy.
Sweden
Stockholm → Phuket
Norse Atlantic Airways · N0195
Lands at Phuket (HKT) around 05:50 the next day
A Dreamliner overnight from Arlanda that puts you on the ground in Phuket at ten to six in the morning — straight out of a Swedish winter into 28 degrees, before sunrise.
Norway
Oslo → Phuket
Norse Atlantic Airways · N0095
Lands at Phuket (HKT) around 15:40 the next day
A late-night departure from Gardermoen that lands in Phuket at twenty to four the following afternoon — a kinder arrival than the Stockholm flight, with your room ready and the evening ahead of you.
United Kingdom
London → Phuket
Norse Atlantic Airways
Lands at Phuket (HKT) before sunrise
The UK finally gets a direct run to the island. Until now every British traveller changed in Doha, Dubai, Singapore or Bangkok and arrived on a connecting hop; from the 2026/27 winter, Gatwick connects to Phuket three times a week.
Connecting through Bangkok, Doha, Dubai, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur instead? That is fine — we track domestic and connecting arrivals the same way. Send us the flight number that actually lands in Phuket and we will time the car to it. See all airport transfer routes and prices.
Why we publish this flight by flight
Every transfer company in Phuket has a page saying “book in advance, avoid the taxi queue.” None of them tells you that the Stockholm flight lands eight hours before any hotel will check you in, or that leaving the airport at five in the afternoon doubles the drive to Patong.
We drive these arrivals every week, so we know what each one is actually like — and that is worth more to you than another page of stock photography. If something on these pages is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Send us your flight number. We will do the rest.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. We usually confirm within a couple of hours.
