Airfare - Cambodia

Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia and the launching point for most travellers visiting the country. Airfare to Phnom Penh will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Mondays are popular with business travelers and weekends are key dates for holidaymakers wanting the longest trips possible. Therefore, if you can afford to be flexible with your travel dates, avoid these dates. Also, consider flights into Bangkok, Thailand or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. To get between the cities, you can grab a spot on a train, bus or flight. Look for cheap flights on no frills airlines. Jetstar Asia Airways and Tiger Airways fly to Phnom Penh. In addition, although it will take longer to reach your destination, a bus or train could save you enough cash to make it worth your while.

Another possible money-saving tip is to look for flights that go through Bangkok, Thailand, Delhi, India or some other gateway city instead of flying direct. Low budget airlines from these cities will help you save some cash over flying non-stop to your destination. The most expensive air tickets to Phnom Penh are found during peak holiday travel times, such as the New Year. Also, be aware of national events or festivals, which can also cause ticket prices to rise. The average cost of flying from US to Phnom Penh could be anywhere between US$1650 to US$1900. Usually, the school you get a job with will provide you with a one way airfare. Do check what your contract offers before signing the offer letter.
