Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) is Cambodia’s main gateway, serving a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers on international and regional routes; it typically handles more scheduled flights and connections than smaller domestic fields. The airport sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by road) southeast of the city centre; taxis and tuk-tuks are the most common options, with rides commonly taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing in a modest local range, while private transfers and app-based cars can be slightly pricier. Passengers can expect basic but improving facilities—convenient for quick access to the capital but occasionally busy during peak times—whereas budget travellers may appreciate frequent low-cost service but find amenities limited compared with larger international hubs.
