Tips and tricks for getting cheap Christmas flights to Phuket

Follow these tips to save further on your airfare to Phuket.

  • Fly in or out on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day: Flying on a popular holiday such as Christmas Day or New Year’s Day may be a depressing thought for many, and that’s exactly why you may get a healthy discount on the fare.
  • Fly with low cost airlines: If you are not brand-conscious and don’t mind not having a luxurious journey, opting for a low cost carrier may help you to shave a few hundred dollars on your flight to Los Angeles. Popular budget airlines that fly into Phuket include Jetstar and AirAsia.
  • Look for alternative routes: If you can’t find the offer you are looking for, you can test your creativity by searching for flights that add a stopover. For example, flying to Phuket with stopovers in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur on a budget airline like Scoot or AirAsia respectively may be cheaper than a direct flight.
