Surat to Phuket Flights

The Surat to Phuket air route connects Surat (STV) 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 Surat 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 Surat to Phuket for leisure, seeking a tropical beach vacation. Phuket offers beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and cultural attractions. It's a popular destination for families, honeymooners, and solo travellers alike.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Phuket is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is sunny and pleasant during these months, ideal for beach activities and sightseeing. Avoid the monsoon season from May to October, which brings heavy rainfall and strong winds.

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is about 32 km from Phuket City. You can take an airport bus for around 100 baht, a taxi for approximately 600-800 baht, or a pre-booked private transfer. Metered taxis are available outside the terminal.

Things to do in Phuket

Visit Patong Beach for its lively atmosphere and water sports. Explore the iconic Big Buddha statue for panoramic views. Take a boat trip to Phi Phi Islands, famous for Maya Bay. Discover the Sino-Portuguese architecture in Phuket Old Town.

Food to try

Try Tom Yum Goong, a spicy and sour shrimp soup. Sample Pad Thai, a stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp or chicken. Indulge in fresh seafood at the local markets or beachfront restaurants.

Local tips

Bargain respectfully when shopping at local markets. Dress modestly when visiting temples. Be aware of scams targeting tourists, and always agree on a price before taking a taxi or tuk-tuk.
