Phuket: €332 Full Service With Edelweiss from Amsterdam in Late 2021

Star Alliance member Swiss and holiday subsidiary Edelweiss have put a very attractive price tag on flights to Phuket, Thailand. With a stop in Zurich both ways, you can reach the holiday destination for just €332 – checked bags and full board service are included. Flights at the lowest fare are available from late October through December 2021.

Info

Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.

A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.

Our availability calendar shows all round trips at the lowest fare for stays up to three weeks. You can also use it to search for flights manually before going to swiss.com.

Swiss will take you from Amsterdam to Zurich. The long-haul flights are Edelweiss Airbus A340-300 services. You can expect a 2-4-2 seating pattern and all the amenities Swiss’ long haul economy offers.

According to the fare rules, tickets are on sale for this price until April 15, 2021. Since this is a pretty good offer, they might sell out earlier. A hefty minimum stay of six days applies as well as a maximum stay of three months.

Consult Google Flights to find additional flight dates. We strongly recommend booking directly at SWISS’ website for the usual reason.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
