Flights Phuket → Osaka (HKT-KIX) — THB Fares, Airlines, Frequency

Phuket to Osaka links the Andaman coast with western Japan, with around four flights a week.

Block time is about seven hours, an easy single sector by day or overnight.

Airlines on this route

Thai Airways operates HKT-KIX, flying a full-service widebody direct to Kansai International. The fare includes checked baggage and a meal. With a single carrier on the route, the schedule is the main variable to plan around — four flights a week means choosing dates that line up with a departure rather than picking from many daily options.

THB fares

Running four times a week with one carrier, HKT-KIX has limited supply, so fares move sharply with demand. The Japanese spring and autumn travel peaks and the New Year period are the most expensive and sell out early — two to three months of lead time is sensible. For quieter dates, six to eight weeks ahead usually secures a reasonable economy fare in THB.
