Frequently asked questions

What is the IATA code for the new Siem Reap airport?
The new Siem Reap airport uses the IATA code SAI for Siem Reap-Angkor International, opened in 2023. The legacy REP airport closer to the temples has been progressively retired. Search SAI on Flightmussy for the freshest schedules now that all major carriers have migrated their Siem Reap service to the new field.
How far is the new Siem Reap airport from Angkor Wat?
SAI sits about 50 km east of central Siem Reap and roughly 60 km from the main Angkor Wat temple complex, a 60-75 minute drive. Most hotels arrange transfers. The greater distance was deliberate, to remove flight noise and vibration from the temple area. Flightmussy is free and needs no signup.
Which low-cost carriers serve SAI?
AirAsia and Thai AirAsia connect SAI with Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, VietJet Air runs Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Scoot covers Singapore and Chinese LCCs operate seasonally. Flightmussy surfaces these options prominently because Google Flights frequently de-prioritises low-cost carriers against legacy alliance partners.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Siem Reap?
Wet-season months May through October typically show the lowest fares, with September the rainiest and cheapest. Peak prices hit Christmas through February when temple weather is dry and cool. Khmer New Year in April spikes domestic fares. The Flightmussy 12-month fare heatmap pinpoints exactly which week each year is cheapest.
