Use HKT for Phuket, Khao Lak and Andaman island transfers. Bangkok BKK or DMK may be cheaper, but add a domestic sector or long ground transfer.

Practical planning
Phuket planning
Route guides are most useful when they explain the real airport choices, transfer traps and onward travel details behind the fare search.
Low fares can require baggage collection, immigration, security re-screening and recheck-in.
High-season leisure routes, charters and some long-haul services can change between northern winter and monsoon periods.

FAQ
Useful questions before booking
Can I book flights here?
Use the booking-search links to open live fare pages with travel partners. Confirm final fare rules, baggage, terminal and visa details before paying.
Are these schedules live?
No. This is an independent planning guide. Routes, aircraft and days of operation change seasonally, so always confirm current service before booking.
What is the self-transfer risk?
Separate tickets can require immigration, visa eligibility, arrival forms, baggage collection and recheck-in. If the first flight is late, the second airline may not protect the connection.
Where can I check airport codes?
Use Flights Airports for airport codes and map browsing, especially where a city or country has multiple practical airports.
