Techo International Airport

Phnom Penh, Cambodia · Asia-Pacific

Phnom Penh's new single terminal is calm and clearly stacked on three levels, but it sits 20 km south of the city with no rail, and the lounge's child rules depend on which card you show.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Book KTI

The old PNH airport is not the passenger door

Scheduled flights moved to Techo on 9 September 2025. A ticket that still says PNH is the previous airport.

e-Arrival

File the Cambodia e-Arrival card before you fly

arrival.gov.kh is the official portal. Air Cambodia says every inbound traveler has had to file it since 1 September 2024, up to 7 days before arrival. It is not a visa.

Level 3

Food and both Plaza Premium lounges are on the mezzanine

The airport guide puts airside and landside dining on level 3. Plaza Premium Lounge is at H1; Plaza Premium First is at J1.

Children

Lounge child rules disagree

Priority Pass says children are not admitted to Plaza Premium Lounge. American Express says children under 2 are free. Ask at the desk before you queue.

Live conditions

Right now at KTI

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Scheduled flights that used to use Phnom Penh International
Priority Pass holders departing between 06:00 and midnight
Travelers who want one building for domestic and international

Watch out for

Booking PNH, the previous airport, instead of KTI
Priority Pass refusing children while American Express admits under-2s
A 20 km taxi with no metro, and a bus fare the airport site does not print
An e-Arrival QR that is mandatory and is not a visa

Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

There is one passenger terminal. Level 1 is the arrival hall: international corridor, domestic corridor, transfer hub, immigration, domestic and international baggage reclaim, customs, and the meet-and-greet hall.
Level 2 is departures: drop-off kerb, international and domestic check-in, screening, outbound immigration, airside duty free and cafés, and international bus gates. A Buddha statue is on this level.
Level 3 is the commercial floor: airside and landside food, seating, and the lounge mezzanine. Plaza Premium Lounge is at H1. Plaza Premium First is at J1.
The airport tells you to use its indoor digital map. It does not publish a gate count or a jet-bridge count.
A Wikipedia runway table lists 05/23 at 4,000 m, concrete, and calls the field a code 4F airport. That length is not on the passenger website, and no Cambodian AIP plate was retrieved for this guide.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

The operator places the airport about 20 km south of Phnom Penh city center, via Samdech Hun Sen Boulevard and the Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet flyover from the Morodok Techo flyover. No minute count is published.
There is no metro and no airport railway. A 2023 ministry comment about a future light-rail link is not an operating service.
Official transport page: standard taxis and the Grab, WowNow, and PassApp apps, about USD 10–20 depending on the drop-off. Fares move with traffic. Uber does not operate in Cambodia. Bolt is not listed.
Euro Car rental counters are in the arrivals hall. Rates are not printed.
Parking: about 2,000 spaces in total. Regular parking 602 cars, 24 EV blocks, 24 accessible bays. Premium parking 232 cars, 16 EV blocks, 22 accessible bays. Motorbike area up to 980. Class 3 vehicles over 3 m high use standby parking at the entrance for at most 1 hour, then the drop-off lane. Tariffs after the free drop-off minutes are not published.
A city airport bus was announced for 9 September 2025. The current official transportation page does not print a bus fare, a route, or a timetable. Do not budget from an unofficial figure.

Lounge & amenity notes

Lounge, food, and quiet-spot picks pulled from the markdown guide.

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Plaza Premium Lounge (H1, level 3, airside): Priority Pass hours 06:00–00:00 every day, maximum stay 2 hours, cold buffet included, standard alcohol included, premium alcohol extra. Priority Pass conditions say no smoking, no dress code, and children are not admitted. American Express's page for the same lounge says smart casual, children under 2 free, and showers cost extra. The airport page lists a dedicated shower and a designated smoking area. Those three sources do not match; the desk is the tie-breaker.
Plaza Premium First (J1, level 3, airside): airport page lists premium food, a private shower, Wi-Fi, a smoking area, and massage for a fee when available. Hours, memberships, and a walk-in price are not published there. Do not assume Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or a DragonPass code opens it.
Airside duty free, cafés, and restaurants are on level 2 after screening. More food and drink, landside and airside, is on level 3. A Relay newsstand is in international departures.
The airport does not publish a terminal Wi-Fi network name. Both lounge write-ups advertise high-speed Wi-Fi inside the lounges.
Exchange and ATMs are listed under facilities. The guide does not name the bank or the rate.

The markdown guide's highest-signal tactics before the data-backed tips below.

From Best Airport Tricks & Hacks

Search and book KTI. PNH is the previous airport. Airlines that published the move, including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Korean Air, switched on 9 September 2025.
Domestic and international passengers share one building. Arrivals, immigration, baggage, and customs are level 1. Check-in and outbound immigration are level 2. Food is level 3.
If you are only connecting, the airport tells arrival and transit passengers not to clear customs if they want the airside lounge.
The drop-off lane is free for the first 10 minutes for class 1 and 2 vehicles and 20 minutes for class 3. Unattended cars can be towed. The fee after that window is not on the fees page.
Priority Pass still titles the KTI lounge index "Still Closed". The lounge detail page itself publishes hours and hundreds of reviews. Use the detail page, not that stale heading.

01

NavigationTraveler Tips & Hacks

Confirm the ticket says KTI

Scheduled passenger flights left PNH on 9 September 2025.

Techo, in Kandal Stung, is the airport that operates those flights. The old Phnom Penh International Airport is a different field.

Upside

One terminal handles both domestic and international passengers.

Watch-out

A pickup sent to PNH is at the wrong airport.

02

SecurityTraveler Tips & Hacks

e-Arrival before the visa desk

The QR code is required even when you already have a visa.

Use arrival.gov.kh up to 7 days before landing. The airport still asks for six months of passport validity. It does not publish a security-wait time; the directory figure is not an official clock.

03

LoungeTraveler Tips & Hacks

Check the child rule for your card

Priority Pass and American Express do not describe the same door policy.

Priority Pass says children are not admitted and there is no dress code. American Express says children under 2 are free and smart casual is required. Showers are listed by the airport; American Express says they cost extra.

Upside

Cold buffet and standard drinks are included on Priority Pass.

Watch-out

A family can be turned away if the desk follows the Priority Pass wording.

04

TransportTraveler Tips & Hacks

Budget USD 10–20 and no train

That band is what the airport prints for taxis and the named ride apps.

Grab, WowNow, and PassApp are the apps on the transportation page. The site does not publish a driving-time or a public-bus fare. There is no metro.

Upside

The drop-off lane is free for the first 10 minutes (20 for tall vehicles).

Watch-out

The paid parking tariff after that is not published.

Water & Hydration

Hydration notes pulled from the editorial guide.

From Water & Hydration

Bottled drinks are sold at the Relay store in international departures. The airport does not publish a bottle price.
The passenger guide does not list a drinking fountain or a refill station.
Lounge cold-buffet access is the practical free drink if your card matches the Priority Pass rules above, and only for the stay cap they print.
