Dreaming of pristine beaches and turquoise waters? Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, might be the perfect destination for your next getaway. But first things first, you need to get there!
This blog post dives into what you need to know about flying from Newark (EWR) to Phuket (HKT).
Non-stop vs. layovers:
Direct flights are the dream for long journeys. Unfortunately, the Newark to Phuket route doesn’t currently offer many non-stop options. Most flights will have at least one layover, adding travel time.
The good news is that you can find flights with layovers ranging from a few hours to a full day. This can impact the price considerably.
How long will it take?
Prepare for a journey! Flights with a single layover can take anywhere from 22 to 28 hours, while itineraries with multiple connections can push past 50 hours. Be sure to factor this in when picking your flight.
What about the cost?
Flight prices can vary depending on the season, airline, and number of layovers. Based on a quick search, you might find one-way flights starting around $621 and roundtrips from $951.
Finding the best deal:
Several websites can help you find the best deals on flights from Newark to Phuket. Here are a few popular options:
- Kayak [KAYAK]
- Expedia [Expedia]
- Travelocity [Travelocity]
These sites allow you to compare prices across different airlines and dates, making it easier to find a flight that fits your budget.
Tips for a Smooth Journey:
- Pack for a long flight: Bring entertainment, comfortable clothing, and essentials to keep yourself occupied during the journey.
- Consider booking your seats in advance: Especially if you’re traveling with companions, securing your preferred seats together can make a big difference.
- Explore layovers (if you have a long one!): Some layovers might give you enough time to explore a new city for a few hours.
With some planning and research, you can find the perfect flight to take you from Newark to the sunny shores of Phuket. Get ready for a relaxing and unforgettable Thai adventure!
