Get out of Cambodia by air, and you’ll be treated to some stunning views.

Within Cambodia there are limited flights between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh and Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. These flights are generally quite expensive, and most expats opt for a private taxi or long-distance bus instead.

Both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap have international airports that host a number of airlines.

In Phnom Penh, these airlines offer flights to the following cities:

For some reason, many of these airlines forget to include Cambodia on their web sites. If you can’t book a ticket directly, it’s often useful to go to a flight aggregator such as Expedia. Last year Cambodia folded its $25 departure tax into the price of flights leaving the country, so you won’t need to pay any additional fees on your way out.
