Any one knows of a safe budget air travel from Saigon to Cambodia?
Written by admin on March 15th, 2009
All the other budget air travel that I know - like pacific air, air aisa, jetstar - do not ply the Saigon-Phnom Penh route. But I think there should be one somewhere. I hope somebody can help me with this info, and how much are return flights. Thanks.
I believe your only choices are Vietnam Airlines and Siem Reap Airlines, and neither of them are cheap, probably at least $250US or so round trip. I live in Thailand and it's the same situation here, Bangkok Airways and Siem Reap Airlines are the only airlines that fly into Phnom Penh and Siem Reap and they're both very expensive, too. And if you think that's expensive, try pricing flights from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Air Asia is planning a Vietnamese subsidiary, but whether that helps with prices into Cambodia remains to be seen, I doubt it. Hopefully some airline will open up some cheaper fares on these routes, but for now, you don't have much choice. Good luck.

Vietnam Airways connects HCMC and Siem Reap.
It is not Phnom Penh, but it is in Cambodia.

Sorry, there just isn't any cheap flight to Phonm Phen. But… You do have an alternative. The bus to Phonm Phen is really cheap. it leaves every morning about 8:00 and you are in Cambodia by 2:30 or 3:00. I hate the bus but this is not a bad way to go. plenty to see and an easy cruise. Really cheap. I think its $16 as I remember.

i’d rather go with the bus choice between saigon and phnom penh. else, i’d better fly with bangkok airways coz their got a nice new fleet of airbus 319. and they serve hot meal - thai food - on the phnom penh-bangkok sector too. yum!
