Siam Reap International Airport to Phnom Penh International Airport


We ended our tour to Siam Reap here at the Siam Reap International Airport. Our short and fast track holiday aint allow us to ride a bus or boat from SR to PP. So, the fastest way was via air and of course was not cheap. About MYR300 per way.


Some tips to share about purchasing the flight ticket of Cambodia Air from SR to PP.

Main problem: Need to match the credit card name with our identification in the passport. Which was obviously we cant since in Malaysia, we are allow to register any name (suitable) on the credit card. End up, our booking was rejected so many times. At first, my friend in Qatar made the first attempt but failed. Thought, it was because due to problem in middle east network etc. Than i tried here. Both attempt failed. Since, we were departing in 2-3 days time, i made the last effort. Googling any contact number i can find.

At last, i found a website which i think it looked genuine with address and contact number. I emailed and made several follow up phone call and after 2 days, managed to purchase the tickets. Two 1 way ticket cost us USD210.

We reached the airport quite early. The airport basically was separated into 2, domestic and international and both were in 2 separate building. We were at domestic area.

Since we reached here early, we decided to rest at International Airport. Why? Cause, the domestic was rather small and lack of space for waiting area. Only a row of benches and was already occupied by the passengers.


Waiting area in international airport. Clean, less noisy. i took a nap and perform my pray here. Slept around 2-3 hours. Our flight was at 830pm. But we were here around 4pm

It's a one hour flight and we reached PP at 930 pm. Took taxi at 10pm and reached the hotel in 15 min time. Leaving SR with lot lot of memory. Hope SR has winter season, so we can be here longer visiting all the places. just a wish.

We actually flying with Vietnam Airlines. I bet this is under their strategic alliance.
