For those interested....
Martinair, a Dutch charter airline starts a direct flight from Amsterdam to Phuket in November. Just visit their website at
Martinair and this is their English language website.
To my knowledge, they make a stopover in Oman and the will use Boeing 767-300 planes on this route.
The time are approximately:
Outbound: 20.40 - 16.15*
Inbound : 18.30 - 03.30*
I must honestly say, Martinair is by far not my favorite airlines, due to some bad experiences, but I heard they improved and also have updated the plane interiors.
Should you fly them long haul, then definately choose their comfort class, for an extra price of € 100 per return ticket. For the rest see the website.
