Peak season
Magnificent ruins and temples are the reason why most travellers take cheap flights to Cambodia, but there is much more to this fascinating country. The capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, is located in the south of the country. Once known as the ‘Pearl of Asia’, it is a bustling city and lively all year round with interesting architecture, great cuisine and shopping opportunities. Siem Reap in the northwest is a popular tourist destination for its proximity to the magnificent Angkor Wat temple complex, boutique hotels and restaurants. It is mainly busy during the dry season and quietens down in the off season. The country has a tropical monsoon climate with the dry season running from November to April and when most travellers arrive on flights to Cambodia. The wet season runs from May to November. November and December are the coolest months of the year with temperatures averaging 24C – 26C. Accommodation should be booked well in advance if you’re planning to visit during the peak Christmas and New Year period.
Off season
The wet season extends from April to September and is considered the off season. March, April and May are extremely humid with temps hitting 35C – 40C, while the months of June to August are hot and wet, but the rains usually fall in the afternoon or at night. While the rainy season may not be for everyone, booking cheap flights to Cambodia at this time can be worthwhile with spectacular waterfalls and rivers, and lush green vegetation.

Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of December, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 25.0 C).
The best time to book a flight to Cambodia will depend on what you want to see and do. For visiting Cambodia’s beaches and dive sites such as Koh Kong, Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Rong, flight tickets are best purchased for the dry season. While November and May are considered the best months to dive the Koh Sdach Archipelago. The shoulder months of February and October are better for sightseeing temples and ruins when there aren’t so many tourists. For the budget conscious the cheapest flights to Cambodia will be found between May and early October.

The business class cabin is really nice - EXCEPT the two interior seats have no divider between them - which makes for a bad experience -especially when the person next to you coughs excessively with no protection. Basically, the person is looking at you and coughing at you the WHOLE FLIGHT. Most major airlines have a sliding divider you can close for privacy and safety reasons. The window seats do not have this problem - so if you book business class and are traveling solo - make sure to get a window seat - I didn't and regretted it.
