Timing matters. Siem Reap’s busiest months bring higher demand, while the rainy season rewards flexible travelers with more availability.
Peak season usually runs from November to February when the weather is cooler and festivals draw visitors, so prices often rise. Off peak months from May to October tend to have better availability and lower average fares, especially for weekday departures, though specific prices vary.
A practical rule of thumb is to search 4 to 6 weeks before departure for short haul trips and check prices a few times per week. Set up the Set a Price Alert for your exact dates and route so our system tracks changes and pings you when the fare moves.

Here is how to navigate the local airport and carriers from a practical standpoint, from codes to ground transport.
Siem Reap Angkor International Airport carries the code SAI with ICAO VDSA. It opened in October 2023, replacing the older city airport, and sits about 40 kilometers east of Angkor Wat. The single runway measures approximately 3,600 meters and the terminal is designed for up to 7 million passengers per year with expansion plans to 12 million by 2040, subject to change. On site you will find modern check in halls, duty free and dining, plus lounges.
Getting there is straightforward. Taxis and ride hailing are widely available around town, hotels often run shuttles, and public buses operate on limited schedules. For smoother departures, arrive at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights to clear check in and security. Airline choice splits between budget carriers and full service airlines. Budget operators such as AirAsia are popular for point to point deals to Kuala Lumpur. Full service airlines like Singapore Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, and regional specialists including Bangkok Airways and Cambodia Angkor Air connect key hubs such as Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Bangkok, with schedules and frequencies that can vary by season.
