Phuket is renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, rich history and beautiful natural scenery, making it a popular destination for travellers from around the globe. Whether you're drawn to its iconic landmarks, historical sites, or simply its relaxing atmosphere, Phuket offers something for everyone.

The flight duration from Dunedin to Phuket is considerable, with no direct flights available. You'll typically need at least one, if not two, stopovers. The total travel time depends heavily on your chosen route and the duration of any layovers. For instance, a route through a major hub like Singapore or Kuala Lumpur might add a significant amount of travel time to your journey.

Several airlines may offer flights with connecting routes, but it is advisable to check with eDreams for the most up-to-date information on flight schedules and airlines available for this route. Flight frequency varies depending on the airline and the season. During peak travel times, you'll likely find more frequent flights, but this typically also coincides with higher prices.

The ideal months for budget-friendly travel to Phuket are generally outside of peak season (November to April) as this is when you'll find the cheapest flight and accommodation options. However, keep in mind that weather conditions will vary significantly during different times of the year. To make the most cost-effective travel plans, it's recommended to book flights several months in advance, to secure the best deals.

Phuket is busiest during its peak tourist season, which usually spans from November to February. These months coincide with pleasant weather and holiday periods; as such, you can expect to find higher prices and more crowds.

To avoid peak tourist seasons, consider travelling during the shoulder months (March-April or September-October) to balance a pleasant climate with fewer crowds.
