First, you will take a feeder flight in economy class from Italy to Paris, and then continue in premium economy from France to Phuket on a Boeing 777, which offers a 2-4-2 seating pattern in premium economy.
Air France has two different types of premium economy seats. The seats in their Boeing planes do not recline in the conventional sense but instead slide forward. This can be a bonus, especially on a day-flight since you’re not disturbed by the person sitting in front of you. Tall passengers, however, have difficulties sleeping, as “reclining” leads to very limited leg room. The seats in Airbus A350 planes are better and are closer to the competition. Air France’s premium economy, however, has a major downside that has nothing to do with the seats: The cheapest fare includes 0 checked luggage to most destinations! Furthermore, the service and catering are often disappointing.
Most European citizens can enter Thailand visa-free for 60 days when travelling for touristic purposes.

Information & Tips for Phuket
Phuket is famous for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife in Patong, cultural sights like the Big Buddha, and nearby islands such as Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay. The local currency is the Thai baht (THB), and credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Prices in Phuket can vary; luxury resorts and fine dining can be expensive, but there are plenty of affordable options for food and accommodation, especially outside the main tourist hubs. The weather is tropical, with a hot, humid climate year-round, and the best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March.
