Why book domestic flights in Cambodia?
Cambodia is a beautiful country and one of the highlights of South East Asia. While it's not a very large country, you can still fly between three of its main cities.
The three routes that airlines currently fly within Cambodia are:
Phnom Penh ➡ Siem Reap
Phnom Penh ➡ Sihounkville
Sihounkville ➡ Siem Reap
It's possible to travel between all three of these destinations by road. However, travelling by air is a massive time-saver. For example, to travel between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap (Cambodia's most popular domestic route) by road, it would take over five hours. Whereas, travelling the same route by air only take 45–60 minutes.
