Peak season
Travellers booking cheap flights to Cambodia will undoubtedly be drawn by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. But these magnificent 800-year-old ruins are not the country’s only drawcard. The two main cities of Phnom Penh (the capital) and Siem Reap have much to offer tourists and are the best bases for cycling and biking, cultural expeditions, nature and wildlife, adventure activities and more. Flying to Phnom Penh is not difficult with flights to Cambodia readily available from New Zealand. But travelling during peak season (November to January), which is also the dry season, will be a lot busier and flight tickets may increase in price. Siem Reap throngs with visitors during the tourist season and then quiets down, whereas Phnom Penh is a bustling city, lively all year long.
Off Season
Poor roading and monsoon flooding in the wet season (May to November) can make getting around more challenging but when you’ll secure the cheapest flights to Cambodia.
November to January – the dry season – is the high season, and when most travellers book cheap flights to Cambodia. Another option are the shoulder months of February and October when there aren’t so many tourists, but the weather is pretty decent. June to August is hot and wet but the vegetation is green and lush and there are less visitors to the temples. The rain usually falls in the afternoon or at night.
