From airlines and flight times to visa tips, you'll find everything you need to book your trip with confidence.

  • Jetstar Airways – A budget-friendly carrier perfect for low-cost travellers. Note that checked baggage is often not included, so you’ll need to add this if required. 

You can book your tickets through Traveloka, where you’ll find flight schedules, prices, and offers. 

Flight time from Sydney to Phuket 

When flying direct, it takes 11 hours and 35 minutes to travel from Sydney to Phuket. Be sure to pack some entertainment or download your favourite shows for the flight! 

Average price of flights between Sydney and Phuket 

Ticket prices for this route can fluctuate based on demand and booking timing, ranging from as little as AU$255 to a peak of AU$750 each way. To secure the best deals, consider booking several months ahead or during major Australian sales events, such as Boxing Day or EOFY sales.

Cheapest time to fly to Phuket 

If you’re looking to save money, consider planning your trip for the off-peak season. Generally, the cheapest flights to Phuket can be found in months like May or September. These times coincide with the rainy season, so pack accordingly, but you'll enjoy quieter beaches and less tourist traffic. 

Peak travel periods like December to February, during Phuket’s dry season, typically see higher prices. Use Traveloka’s fare alerts to snag great deals whenever they pop up! 

Where is the airport in Phuket? 

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is located approximately 32 km north of Phuket Town and about 40 km from Patong Beach’s tourist hub. 

You’ve got several transport options to reach your accommodation:

  • Airport Shuttle Buses – Budget-friendly at around AU$5-10 and convenient for popular areas like Phuket Town or Patong. 
  • Taxis and Ride Shares – Taxis typically cost around AU$20-30, but be sure to agree on a fare before starting your trip. Apps like Grab are widely used in Thailand and provide a reliable fare structure, usually costing AU$15-25 depending on distance. 
  • Car Rentals – Want to explore Phuket at your own pace? Car rentals start at approximately AU$30-50 per day, available directly at the airport.

Visa requirements for Australians flying to Phuket 

Good news! Australians can enter Thailand without a visa for stays of up to 30 days. You’ll just need a passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry and proof of onward travel. Staying longer? Apply for a tourist visa before departure. 

Time difference between Sydney and Phuket 

Phuket is 3 hours behind Sydney (AEST), but this changes during daylight savings. When daylight savings is in effect, Phuket is 4 hours behind Sydney. The time difference is factored into your arrival time, but you will need to adjust your watch!

Alternate airports to fly to Phuket from Sydney 

While most flights from Sydney to Phuket arrive at Phuket International Airport (HKT), you could also consider flying into alternate airports in Thailand. Options include Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) in Bangkok, or Krabi International Airport (KBV), which is a short journey from Phuket. Exploring these alternatives may offer more flight options or competitive pricing.
