It was a tough journey from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap by bus with bumpy roads, Mosquitos and smokey air with people burning rubbish. So on the way back from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh we decided to fly and opted for a cheap flight with Lanmei Airlines. In todays Lanmei Airlines review I talk about why its worth booking a flight from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh or vice versa.
We paid just £25 each to fly from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and that was booking just one week in advance. It’s just over double the price of Mekong Express, but saves time which is well worth the extra money in itself.
Lanmei Airlines is a low cost airlines based in Cambodia.
Taking an internal fight out of Siem Reap seemed to avoid any rip off cons at the airport. We heard stories of international tourists being charged an extra ‘tax’ to leave — this didn’t happen to us when flying to Phnom Penh.
We checked in around two hours before the flight and were the first people to do so (our flight was very early and so we arrived at the airport at 6am!). We didn’t need to print out the booking — and were able to check in online beforehand. When checking in bags, showing my mobile booking and the passports was fine. Other people were checking in up to 1 hour before the flight. Boarding was quite fast and we weren’t standing in…
