When traveling to another country, everyone considers how long the flight will take. Thailand is located in Southeast Asia, but travel times can vary greatly. So still, how long does it take to fly to Thailand? It all depends on the region of Russia where the tourist is flying from and whether there will be transfers. The longest flight would be from St. Petersburg to Phuket, and it is about 10 hours without a connection. From other cities, except Moscow, you can get only to the capital of Thailand. Local planes fly to Phuket in that case from Bangkok.
It’s also worth remembering that during the high season charter flights are organized from major cities of Russia, the tickets for which, together with the tour are cheaper than the prices for regular flights from the capital, but charter flights are not always comfortable and safe flight (by the way, perhaps because of the poor aircraft service of charter flights, people get aerophobia). To figure out how many hours to fly to Phuket, you should add 60-90 minutes to your normal flight to Bangkok. Read about how to how to get to Thailand cheaply in a separate article.
For direct flights there is an approximate arrival time, which may vary around half an hour. If the flight has a connecting flight, then to the total flight time you must add the waiting time between flights, which sometimes exceeds the flight itself. So when traveling to Thailand on a connecting flight it is hard to know in advance exactly how long your flight will take. The departure and arrival dates on the tickets and the screens at the airports (see Krabi airport screen) are always based on local time.
