Just had a email from emirates they are flying to Phuket from 10th December

"Operated by a three-class Airbus aircraft, EK378 will depart Dubai at 1245hrs and arrive at Phuket International Airport at 2155hrs. The return flight, EK379 will depart at 0035hrs the following day and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 0435hrs"

I just did a search for a price comparison for there bangkok flight and its coming out the same £848 from lon to bkk or lon to phuket return on 17th dec not bad save a lot of hassle for some holidaying in phuket

This was forecast a couple of years ago, when Qatar began flying into Phuket, just leaves Etihad to complete the trio.

Check the layover times in Dubai connecting Dubai-Phuket sector !!!!

EK 036 ex Newcastle arrives Dubai 0025

It's time that the world could connect direct to Chiang Mai ! They've been cut-off from us for far too long !

Etihad already uses the Airberlin codeshare from AUH to HKT. So you wont see them to fly themselfs to HKT very soon.
