Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Transfer

Budget about 40 km into town

Great-circle from the stored pin to the Siem Reap city-center coordinate is about 40 km. The airport's own shuttle is US$8 and does not include the hotel.

Town departures on the booking page are 05:30, 07:00, 08:00, and 13:30. Airport departures run later in the day. A flight that lands outside those clocks needs another ride.

Lounge

Angkor Lounge is international only

Airside, level 3, between gates 1 and 3, after the Zero duty-free shop. Priority Pass hours are 06:00–21:00, with a 4-hour cap.

Dining

Named brands, few locations

The dining index lists Starbucks, Burger King, Cafe Amazon, Blue Pumpkin, and others. Only Amazon Cafe has a published spot: the middle of the car park.

Traffic

Still well below 2019

The 1.47 million passengers in 2025 are a rounded SSCA figure, and they are 37.6 percent of Siem Reap's 2019 volume at the old airport.

Live conditions
