XGM Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I've seen that flights to Phuket sandbox cannot be with a transit in Bangkok. Must "Fly from abroad to Phuket". But are there restrictions on connecting flights in general though to in this program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 There are no connecting flights in Bangkok that are a continuation of a international flight to Phuket. In time their may be some available. You can have a connecting to Phuket from another place other than Bangkok. For example there are connecting flights in Singapore to Phuket, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto2910 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Q: What airlines are operating direct flights to Phuket? A: Currently, Cathay Pacific, HK Express, El Al Israel Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Thai Airways International (THAI) are operating direct international flights to Phuket. Please check flight schedules on the respective airlines’ websites. Q: Can I travel to Phuket on an indirect international flight, transiting via a domestic flight at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport? A: No. Currently, all travellers must travel on direct international flights to Phuket only. However, transiting via Bangkok maybe possible in the near future as Thailand gradually reopens more pilot destinations to fully vaccinated international travellers. here the link https://www.tatnews.org/2021/08/phuket-sandbox-faqs/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example there are connecting flights in Singapore to Phuket, There are also international flights with a "stop" in Suvharnabhumi, that then continue to Phuket after about 1-2 hours. Same plane. Same flight code. I guess some of the passengers depart and the rest continue to Phuket. Acceptable? Edited September 1, 2021 by XGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cape Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Chiang Mai is supposedly opening from 1st October. China Airways has flight codes that enter Thailand at Chiang Mai. Will these flights resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
