Phuket International HKT
Phuket International Airport, coded HKT, is the only airport serving Phuket in Thailand, so every flight to Phuket arrives and leaves from the same place. It handles the island's international traffic, with popular routes including Warsaw, Istanbul, Chisinau, Krakow, Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Barcelona. Because Phuket has no second airport, there is no choice to make about which one to use. Decide on your route first, then compare the fares on the dates that suit you.

Getting to the city
Most travellers get from Phuket International to their hotel by taxi, by an app-based ride or on a transfer arranged through their accommodation. Agree the fare, or check that the meter is running, before you set off, and confirm the exact pickup point with your driver, because the arrivals area gets crowded when several long-haul flights land close together. For the return leg, book your ride the day before and leave a buffer, since island roads can be slow at busy times. A pre-arranged transfer is the easiest option if you land after dark.
