Dear readers,

I want to fly to Samui with Etihad. They have a ticket via Abu Dhabi to Phuket and then transfer to a flight to Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways. Everything on 1 ticket. Will this be accepted? I can't find out if that is a so-called 'sealed flight'?

Regards,

Jan

    Dear John Ponger,

    Thank you for your interest in Bangkok Airways' service. According to your e-mail, we would like to inform you that your flight is arrive at Phuket so you will take the Phuket Sandbox Program which if you are staying less than 7 nights in Phuket, you must fly out of Phuket to an international destination .If you are staying for 7 nights/days or more in Phuket, you will then be able to travel to any domestic destination in Thailand.

    For more information, please visit https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/thailand-travel-restrictions and https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/no-quarantine-phuket-sandbox-plan

    However, Samui Plus Program, for the flight via Bangkok, the ticket must be issued on the same booking with an international flight in conjunction with such approved Bangkok-Samui-Bangkok flights. Any flight reservations booked separately will not be allowed.

    So you can only travel to Samui via BKK and the sealed flights PG5125 and PG 5171 on 1 ticket. Well, that will be looking for which company offers that

      And that search is greatly facilitated by using, for example, Momondo or Skyscanner.
      Enter departure and arrival airport and indicate a limited number of further wishes.
