Today's indicative fares Kolkata to Siem Reap

The non-stop is usually the cheapest as well as fastest. These are indicative ranges, not a live quote; for the exact cheapest Kolkata to Siem Reap fare on your dates, ask in the FlightGPT chat.
Airlines flying Kolkata to Siem Reap
IndiGo (6E) is currently the only carrier with a non-stop Kolkata–Siem Reap service, running roughly three times a week on A320 aircraft to the new SAI airport. For 1-stop alternatives, Thai AirAsia and Thai Airways route via Bangkok. See our IndiGo guide.
If the IndiGo non-stop does not fit your date, a 1-stop via Bangkok opens more departure times. On connecting itineraries book a single through-ticket so your bags are checked through. For comparison, our Bangalore to Siem Reap page covers the southern corridor.
Flight schedule & timings
IndiGo typically operates the Kolkata–Siem Reap non-stop about three days a week, so it does not fly daily — check the exact days when booking. The non-stop blocks about 3h 10m; the return SAI–CCU is similar (Cambodia is 1h 30m ahead of India).
If you connect via Bangkok instead, build in a sensible layover buffer. See our Siem Reap destination guide for arrival-day planning.
Non-stop vs 1-stop options
For most travellers the non-stop is the clear winner: ~3h 10m gate-to-gate versus 6–11 hours for a 1-stop via Bangkok, often for a similar or lower fare. The catch is frequency — with roughly three non-stops a week, your preferred date may not have one.
When the non-stop does not fit, a 1-stop via Bangkok on Thai AirAsia or Thai Airways opens far more departure times. If you connect, book a single through-ticket so baggage is checked through and you are protected if the first leg runs late.
When to book for the lowest fare
For this limited-frequency route, the sweet spot is 4–6 weeks before departure for normal travel and 8–12 weeks ahead for the cool season and year-end peak, when the cheapest classes on the few non-stops vanish first.
Set a price alert in the FlightGPT chat, watch IndiGo's 6E sale, and stack a bank-card offer. Our 2026 online booking guide covers the tactics.
Cheapest days & times to fly
Because the non-stop runs only about three days a week, your travel days are partly fixed by the schedule. Within those, the cheapest buckets sell early, so book ahead. On 1-stop alternatives, mid-week Bangkok connections are typically cheaper than weekend ones.
Avoid the year-end fortnight and major Cambodian festival periods (such as Khmer New Year in April). Flying out and back on the schedule's mid-week days is usually the lowest-cost combination — worth comparing in the FlightGPT chat.
Baggage allowance & extra fees
On international economy, IndiGo typically includes around 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on Kolkata–Siem Reap; on 1-stop Thai AirAsia itineraries the base fare is often hand-baggage-only, with checked bags as a paid add-on. Allowances vary by fare type and can change, so confirm on your specific fare.
Pre-paid extra baggage online is cheaper than at the counter. Seat selection, meals and priority are chargeable extras. Verify every fee on the airline's official site before booking.
Siem Reap airport & arrival guide
You arrive at the new Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI), opened in 2023 about 40 km southeast of the city to protect the Angkor temples. Cambodia's e-visa holders use the standard lanes; an e-Arrival card is also required, completed online before arrival.
From SAI, airport taxis and pre-arranged hotel transfers reach central Siem Reap in about 45–60 minutes. For what to do on arrival, see our Siem Reap destination guide.
Visa & entry for Indian passport holders
Indian passport holders need a visa for Cambodia. The simplest route is the Cambodia e-Visa (Type-T tourist), applied for online via the official government portal — it allows a stay of up to 30 days and is valid for entry within 90 days of issue. As of June 2026 the e-Visa fee is around US$36 including the service charge. You must also complete the Cambodia e-Arrival form online. Your passport must be valid for at least six months.
Apply only through the official portal and carry a printed copy. Rules change, so confirm the latest before booking — see our Cambodia visa guide for Indians. Official Cambodia e-Visa portal.
Cancellation, refund & date-change rules
On international tickets, each airline sets its own cancellation and change fees by fare type. Cheaper IndiGo and Thai AirAsia fares carry higher penalties or are non-refundable except for taxes; flexible fares allow changes for a smaller fee plus fare difference. Read the fare rules at booking and verify current penalties on the airline's site.
If the airline cancels your non-stop, you are entitled to a refund or rebook under its conditions of carriage. Given the three-weekly frequency, a cancellation can mean a multi-day wait for the next non-stop, so travel insurance is worth considering for important trips.
