Flight time, distance and routing
The non-stop covers the Delhi–Phnom Penh distance in about 5 hours. A well-timed one-stop runs roughly 8–9 hours total, while longer layovers push past 11 hours. Bangkok offers the shortest final hop into Cambodia; Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are slightly longer but frequently served. The Delhi–hub leg is the long part of any connecting trip.
Best time to book and seasonal fares
Cambodia's cool, dry season (November–February) is the most comfortable and busiest for fares; the hot months (March–May) and the green wet season (June–October) are quieter and often cheaper. The infrequent non-stop sells out on popular days, so book early if you want it. Stay flexible and compare the live fare calendar in the FlightGPT search.
Getting your fare cheaper (honest tips)
Flexibility on dates and hub choice saves the most. If the non-stop days are pricey or inconvenient, compare a Bangkok routing against Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and consider booking the long Delhi–hub leg with a separate regional hop if it's cheaper. Mid-week travel and the wet/shoulder months help too. Use the FlightGPT search to compare the non-stop and connecting fares together.
Airports and terminals
Departures use Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL) Terminal 3. Phnom Penh is now served by the new Techo International Airport (KTI), which opened on 9 September 2025 and replaced the old city airport for all commercial flights. KTI is larger and farther from the centre, so arrange transfers in advance. Confirm your hub's minimum connection time on the outbound leg.
Baggage allowances
Allowances depend on the carrier and fare. Full-service airlines (Thai, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines) usually include a checked allowance, while budget carriers like AirAsia sell it as an add-on. On the Air Cambodia non-stop, check the fare's included allowance. When combining a long-haul leg and a regional hop, verify each booking's allowance separately and whether bags are through-checked.
Visa for Indians (Cambodia)
Indian passport holders need a visa, but it's straightforward. The Cambodia e-visa (tourist 'T' class) costs about USD 36 total at evisa.gov.kh, valid for a 30-day stay, usually issued in about three business days. A visa-on-arrival (about USD 30, cash in US dollars only) is also available at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports. Carry a passport valid 6+ months with blank pages.
Connecting hubs explained
Bangkok is the natural gateway to Cambodia — closest, with the shortest final hop and frequent flights. Singapore offers a premium hub with reliable connections, and Kuala Lumpur adds budget-friendly AirAsia options. Each pairs a long Delhi–hub leg with a short regional flight to Phnom Penh; choose by fare, schedule and layover length.
Travel tips for Phnom Penh
Cambodia widely uses US dollars alongside the riel; carry small-denomination USD cash. Phnom Penh sits where the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers meet — the riverfront is the heart of the city. Tuk-tuks and ride-hailing (Grab, PassApp) are cheap and easy. Dress modestly at the Royal Palace and temples. Visiting the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng is sobering but important. The dry season is hot, so carry water and sun protection.
Why visit Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh blends French-colonial charm, golden Khmer architecture and a poignant modern history. See the glittering Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, stroll the breezy riverside, and explore the National Museum's Khmer treasures. The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng museum offer a powerful reckoning with the past. With its riverside markets and emerging food scene, the capital is a meaningful complement to Cambodia's Angkor temples.
