Most beach-aimed flights from the UK head to the Med or the Caribbean, but Phuket is a rare example of an Asian airport reachable nonstop from British shores that sits by a stretch of balmy sand rather than a busy metropolis. The beach in question, Hat Mai Khao, is Phuket’s longest, and is undisturbed enough to be a nesting ground for sea turtles each winter.

February sees the dry season in its penultimate month, and is less busy than December or January.
