Looking for cheap flights from Bangalore to Phuket?

IndiGo and Akasa Air both operate daily non-stop service on Bangalore–Phuket, each with around 7 weekly flights. That gives roughly one to two non-stops a day, with extra capacity in peak season. Note that Thai AirAsia does not fly this route non-stop — its Bangalore–Phuket itineraries connect via Bangkok. For a beach trip, the IndiGo or Akasa non-stop is the obvious choice; one-stop options via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur exist but add several hours.
The distance is about 2,900 km and non-stop block time is roughly 3 hours 50 minutes. Phuket is 1h 30m ahead of India. Most departures are timed so you reach Phuket with the afternoon or evening free. Phuket International Airport sits in the island's north, about 45 minutes to an hour from the main beaches at Patong, Kata and Karon, so plan a transfer on arrival.
Phuket's peak season is November–April (dry, sunny weather) with the highest fares around Christmas, New Year and Indian holidays. The green/monsoon season (May–October) sees lower prices and short, heavy showers — still popular for budget travellers. Book peak-season trips 6–10 weeks ahead. With two low-cost carriers competing, sales are common. We don't quote fixed rupee fares — see live prices in the FlightGPT search for your dates.
Compare IndiGo and Akasa directly — promo fares swing between them. Both are low-cost, so add checked baggage, seat selection and meals before deciding; pre-buying baggage online is cheaper than at the airport. Travelling in the May–October green season cuts costs sharply. Mid-week departures usually beat weekends, and avoiding the Christmas–New Year window saves the most.
You depart from Kempegowda International (BLR) Terminal 2 in Bangalore. Phuket International Airport (HKT) has a dedicated international terminal; it is compact and easy to navigate. From the airport, metered taxis, airport buses and pre-booked transfers reach the west-coast beaches in about 45–75 minutes. Grab and local taxis are available, though Phuket transport can be pricey, so agree fares in advance.
Both carriers are low-cost. IndiGo international fares usually include a checked bag plus 7 kg cabin — confirm on IndiGo baggage. Akasa Air international fares to Phuket typically include a checked allowance and cabin bag; check the latest on Akasa Air baggage. Always weigh bags before leaving home and pre-purchase any extra baggage online to avoid higher airport charges.
Thailand's entry policy for Indians is in transition in 2026. The previous 60-day visa-free entry is being replaced by a Visa on Arrival (around 2,000 THB, stay up to 15 days) following a Thai Cabinet decision, but the change takes effect only after publication in the Royal Gazette, and timing was still pending as of mid-2026. Always confirm the current rule on the official Thai immigration/embassy website before booking. Separately, all travellers must complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within 72 hours before arrival.
Phuket is a hub for the Andaman coast. From here you can reach Krabi, Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Phang Nga Bay by ferry or speedboat, or hop to Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Koh Samui on cheap domestic flights. If you want both islands and culture, pair Phuket with a few days in Bangkok on a multi-city ticket rather than backtracking.
The Thai Baht (THB) is best obtained from ATMs or exchange counters; cards work at hotels and bigger restaurants. Grab is handy but island transport is costly — agree fares first. Respect temple dress codes and Thai customs around the monarchy. Book reputable island tours, watch sea conditions in monsoon season, and carry reef-safe sunscreen. A local SIM/eSIM is cheap and useful.
Phuket offers something for everyone — lively Patong nightlife, quieter beaches at Kata, Karon and Nai Harn, Old Phuket Town's heritage streets, and world-class diving and island day trips. As Thailand's largest island with its own international airport, it is the easiest Andaman base. Short flight times and two daily non-stops from Bangalore make it a simple long-weekend or honeymoon escape.
Rules are changing in 2026. Thailand is moving from 60-day visa-free entry to a Visa on Arrival (about 2,000 THB, up to 15 days), but the change takes effect only after Royal Gazette publication. Confirm the current rule on the official Thai immigration site before booking, and complete the free TDAC online before arrival.
The non-stop takes about 3 hours 50 minutes over roughly 2,900 km. Phuket is 1h 30m ahead of India, so you typically arrive with part of the day still free.
IndiGo and Akasa Air both fly non-stop, each with around 7 weekly flights. Thai AirAsia does not operate this route non-stop — its flights connect via Bangkok.
No. Despite appearing in searches, Thai AirAsia's Bangalore–Phuket itineraries route through Bangkok. For a true non-stop, choose IndiGo or Akasa Air.
The May–October green/monsoon season has the lowest flight and hotel prices, with short heavy showers. November–April is peak and pricey, especially over Christmas and New Year.
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a free online form all arriving travellers must complete within 72 hours before arrival. It replaces the old paper arrival card and is separate from any visa requirement.
Phuket International Airport is in the island's north, about 45–75 minutes from the main west-coast beaches like Patong, Kata and Karon. Use metered taxis, airport buses or a pre-booked transfer.
IndiGo and Akasa international fares usually include a checked bag, but always confirm for your fare type. Pre-purchase any extra baggage online, as airport rates are higher.
