Norse is adding nonstop London Gatwick to Phuket flights from £457 return for winter 2026/27. KAYAK’s route page puts typical London-Phuket returns at £587-£777 when checked on 21 June, so this is already cheaper than usual before you get to the best part: no Gulf connection, no Bangkok transfer, just Gatwick to Phuket.
The fare lead we found was for 4 to 24 December, which is early high season for Phuket. That is exactly when a cheap direct flight starts to matter: you are not burning half a day changing planes before you reach the beach.
The route is due to start on 4 December and run until 16 April 2027, with flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. That gives you enough flexibility for a normal winter-sun trip rather than an awkward itinerary built around one stray cheap date.
Norse is a low-cost long-haul airline, so do the boring bit before you pay: check bags, seats, meals, and fare flexibility. If you only care about the lowest possible Thailand fare, compare Bangkok and one-stop Phuket options as well. If you want Phuket with fewer moving parts, this is the one to price up.
How to book
Go to Norse, search London Gatwick to Phuket, and start with winter 2026/27 dates from 4 December onwards. If the £457 return fares do not appear on your first search, try nearby Monday, Wednesday, and Friday departures, then compare the final price after bags and any extras.
