Direct flights to Phuket
Would like to know which airline of the Star Alliance (but preferably from the Lufthansa) Group is offering DIRECT flights to Phuket.
Leaving from BRU but I don't mind flying from London, FRA, CDG or any other EU airport.
I know Thai Airways is planning to fly direct to Phuket from Paris, Frankfurt, London and Copenhagen but I'm interested in the other airlines too.
Thanks for your help.

Thai has announced that they will fly from ZRH.
I would expect more airlines to follow if Phuket is really opening up as promised. Fly to HKT, spend a week there in a nice resort and then travel freely inside Thailand sounds promising. But I believe it when I see it....

To be safe, if you're planning to book something, prioritize options where you would enter Thailand at Phuket Airport.

I would expect entering Thailand elsewhere than HKT will lead to quaratine in ASQ hotel.
I would def. not rely on being able to clear immigration at BKK and proceeding on a dom. flight to HKT (and expect to be treated as if arriving HKT directly).

Question remains if Phuket will really open on July 1st for fully vaccinated travellers.
