Domestic flights in Phuket
Several domestic airlines fly here, including Nokair , Air Asia , Orient Thai . Tickets from Bangkok can cost around 1300 Baht one-way if booked well in advance, or around 2000-2500 Baht (including taxes) if bought on the day.
Thai Airways flies from Bangkoks Suvarnabhumi airport several times every day, as well as once daily from Chiang Mai (but there are no direct flights in the opposite direction). Additionally, they sell tickets from/to many domestic and international destinations with stopover in Bangkok - which are usually cheaper (especially international) than if you book separate tickets. Cheapest (non-exchangeable and non-refundable - though taxes are refunded even in the unfortunate case of no-show, if you call them later) one-way ticket from Bangkok, as of April 2008, costs 2320 baht - worth checking if you book just a few days before flight, as low-cost airlines may cost only 200-300 baht less in this situation, but you get world-famous Thai Airways service, and free onboard meals too.
Air Asia . fly from Phuket to Chiang Mai direct, twice a day at 10.35am and 7.20pm affording an opportunity to combine a beach holiday with experiencing the wildlife and exotic cultures of Northern Thailand. From Chiang Mai to Phuket flights depart at 1pm and 9.45pm. they fly to two Cities in Isaan as well, daily to Udon Thani (handy for a trip into Laos) and four times per week to Ubon Ratchathani.
Bangkok Airways has a monopoly on direct flights between Phuket and U-Tapao (Pattaya / Sattahip) and Ko Samui. They also have 6 daily flights from Bangkok - fares are usually same as Thai Airways, but sometimes they have very inexpensive Promotion-fares as low as 1.390 Baht incl. Taxes (that was a promotion in May 2011) when purchased on the airline website.
Bangkok Airways flights are usually less crowded and the entire journey is more relaxed, plus you can use their lounges for free even as an economy-passenger.
IMPORTANT:
Thai Airways International and Bangkok Airways fly to Suvarnabhumi (pronounced: Soo-Var-na-phoom), whereas NOK Air and Orient Thai fly to the old Don Mueang Airport.
This may be of importance when you have a connecting flight.
