Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

Getting to Cambodia from Australia
No airline flies direct from Australia to Cambodia, so every route is at least one stop. That is not a problem in itself - it usually widens the choice of fares - but it does mean the whole trip is only protected if the legs are on one ticket. Booking the long haul and the last leg separately is where people get stranded.
When Australians fly to Cambodia
January is the busiest month for Australian trips to Cambodia and June the quietest, across 37,220 trips a year. The peak is when fares and accommodation cost most and when the cheaper insurance and eSIM options sell out first, so a trip that can move a few weeks either side of it is a trip that costs less.

Your passport
Cambodia wants 6 months of validity beyond the day you arrive. A fare is non-refundable long before a passport renewal is.
Entry requirements
Yes - Australians need a visa for Cambodia.
Travel insurance only covers a cancellation that was not already public when you bought the policy, so the cover is worth buying with the fare rather than in the last week. Compare cover for Cambodia.

Cambodia flights FAQs
Can you fly direct to Cambodia from Australia?
No. No airline flies direct from Australia to Cambodia, so every route involves at least one stop. That usually widens the choice of fares rather than narrowing it, but book the whole trip on one ticket: on separate tickets a missed connection is your cost, not the airline's.
When is the cheapest time to fly to Cambodia from Australia?
Fares track demand, and Australian demand for Cambodia peaks in January and bottoms out in June, across 37,220 trips a year. The months either side of the peak are usually the cheapest, because they are cheap for the airline to fill. The figures are Australian Bureau of Statistics counts of trips taken, not a fare forecast.
Do I need to book the whole trip to Cambodia on one ticket?
It is strongly worth it. With no direct route from Australia, every itinerary to Cambodia has at least one connection, and a connection you booked separately is one nobody is obliged to fix. On a single ticket the airline rebooks you; on two, you buy a new fare. This also covers the domestic leg if you are not starting in the city your long haul leaves from.
