Mumbai to Phuket Flights

The Mumbai to Phuket air route connects Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) to Phuket Int'l (HKT). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Mumbai and Phuket. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Mumbai to Phuket for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife. Phuket offers a mix of relaxation and adventure, appealing to honeymooners, families, and solo travellers alike. Expect a tropical island atmosphere with plenty of opportunities for water sports and cultural exploration.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Phuket is from November to March, when the weather is dry and sunny. This period avoids the monsoon season, offering ideal conditions for beach activities and island hopping. Consider visiting during the Loy Krathong festival in November for a memorable cultural experience.
