You'll find the best fares by traveling in March, May, September, or November. Pro tip: it's better to depart on a Tuesday and return on a Wednesday for even better prices!

We recommend booking your flight several months in advance to secure the best possible rate.

If you're departing from Europe, it's advisable to take an evening flight and try to sleep as soon as possible to minimize the effects of jet lag—Cambodia is 5 hours ahead. This way, you can make the most of your trip from the very beginning!

As with all international and long-haul flights, it's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours early. This way you can depart with peace of mind and be prepared for any airport surprises, such as long queues.

Generally, for trips to Cambodia, passengers are allowed to bring between 25 and 30 kg of baggage per person.
