Hyderabad to Phuket flight path: HYD to HKT

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Hyderabad to Phuket. The right side wins because of its dramatic descent over Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts near Phuket, paired with a marginally more interesting departure view over the Deccan terrain — the left side offers little beyond flat farmland and open ocean.

During takeoff from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing HYD to the southeast, the right side gives a brief glimpse of Hyderabad's southern suburbs and the rocky Deccan plateau terrain before the aircraft climbs out over open country. The left side mostly shows flat agricultural land with little definition. Notable sights include: Deccan Plateau granite outcrops, Hyderabad southern suburbs, Musi River basin.

When landing at Phuket International (HKT), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the typical runway 27 approach into HKT, the aircraft descends from the north over Phang Nga Bay before turning south to align with the runway, putting its dramatic limestone karst islands on the right side. The left side shows only open Andaman Sea water during this turn. Notable sights include: Phang Nga Bay limestone karsts, Phuket's northern hills, Mai Khao Beach coastline.

The flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) to Phuket International (HKT) takes about 3 hours 10 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 1,479 miles (2,381 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

The route crosses the Bay of Bengal for most of the cruise, passing south of the Andaman Islands before crossing into the Andaman Sea near the Thai-Myanmar coastal waters.
