Getting Our Flights to Cambodia

On our initial trip, I l searched for our flights to Cambodia for a couple of months. Everyday I’d be at the personal computer at least for an hour figuring out the best route and comparing the rates between airlines. I spent so much time on it to the point that I had analysis paralysis. I just kept waiting for the lowest rate feasible, and each and every time the rate dropped, I’d be hoping that it would drop even further. I planned to stretch my travel budget as far as doable, and if I have to be in from of the laptop or computer everyday searching for flights to Cambodia, then so be it.

When I finally decided to buy the tickets, and thereby carving my fate to an Angkor Wat pay a visit to, it was by way of the Asian budget airline, AirAsia. The other contender Jet Star Asia was usually a standby, but in the end, AirAsia won by a slight margin. I was flying from Jakarta, and considering that I knew that there’s no direct flight from Indonesia to Siem Reap, I had to very first fly either to Singapore or to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

That was a momentous occasion for me. To see the confirmation e-mail on the inbox meant that this time I’d truly be going to Cambodia, to Siem Reap, to Angkor Wat. Following all the years of hearing about it, watching the documentary videos, and looking at majestic pictures, this time I was really going. Yes it’s so close from Indonesia, it’s just appropriate there, in the very same continent, but for all intents and purposes, it could also be halfway across the country. In Indonesia, no one’s truly interested in going to Cambodia. People are mostly interested in travelling to rich countries, such cities in Europe or to North America. So when I spread the news that I got my flights to Cambodia, most of my relatives looked at me as if I was weird. But never mind that, I’d go by means of thousands of weird stares, and none of those would matter. I was going to Angkor Wat, and so, yayyyy!!

On my subsequent visits to Angkor Wat, I’ve searched for flights to Cambodia from diverse cities, given that I didn’t know which country I’d be in when I ‘had’ to go to Cambodia. I’ve compiled the list of airlines and routes on my site for effortless reference, but for the most of the time I’d still use AirAsia.

There are direct flights to Cambodia (Siem Reap/Angkor Wat) from (are you ready?) Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Ho Chi Minch City, Danang, Hanoi, Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kunming, Nanning, and Seoul. In the near future there possibly will be more cities. Scratch that, there will certainly be more cities flying directly to Siem Reap in the near future. Much more and more airlines will give the route.

Right now, the airlines that give these direct flights are AirAsia, Silk Air, Jetstar Asia, Bangkok Airways, Malaysian Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Siem Reap Airways, Lao Airlines, China Southern, Dragon Air, China Eastern Airlines, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines.

I’m so glad travelers now have numerous possibilities to go to Angkor Wat. It genuinely is 1 of the destinations that you ought to go to throughout your lifetime on earth. And the abundance of selection of direct flights to Angkor Wat just makes that even easier.
