Find out how to find cheap tickets to Angkor Wat below with my post below: Travel Made Easy – Getting to Angkor Wat!On my first trip to Angkor Wat, I arrived by high-speed ferry from Phnom Penh and left by pick-up truck to Bangkok – cheap, but neither fast nor comfortable. Thankfully, since then many more flights are available, so it’s much easier and cheaper to get there today! Siem Reap (REP) is the closest airport to the ancient temples and is served from more than 30 cities across Asia.

If you are planning a trip from Europe or North America, it often is cheaper to buy a discount ticket to one of the major hubs and purchase a separate ticket on a low-cost carrier within Asia. Your best bet is to make your way via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur and connect on Air Asia to Siem Reap! Even during high-season, you can frequently find round-trip tickets for under $100!
Other big hubs serving Siem Reap on low-cost carriers are Singapore (Jetstar), Hanoi (VietJet Air) and Manila (Cebu Pacific). Major hubs with non-stop flights to the US and easy connections are Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (NRT) and Seoul (ICN)!

AirAsia and other low-cost carriers in Asia often have a member-only sale for tickets that starts 24-48h prior to general availability. And they do sell out quickly, so to get access to these deals, you want to sign up to the carriers free email alerts! They often sell tickets 6-9 months in advance, perfect for international visitors planning a trip. I have scored international fares for pennies, only paying taxes and airport fees!
This approach of buying two separate tickets also gives you a chance to explore other Asian cities as a stop-over on your trip! Bangkok or Manila are inexpensive and your flight savings will pay for a few extra days!
