Melbourne-Phnom Penh is “Skyscanner Unserved Route of the Week”

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It's a scraper site, the only difference is in the fees or the fact it rounds up the pennies. So I've just looked for MEL PNH, it quoted me £431. It is actually £430.59. That took me about 20 seconds.

I also don't think that the large aircraft taking off from Phnom Penh could fly long distances eg. direct to the USA

Qatar operate Airbus A330 aircraft Phnom Penh - Siagon (Ho Chi Minh) - Doha so can refuel in Siagon (SGN) and
Emirates operates 777 aircraft Phnom Penh - Rangoon (Yangon) - Dubai.

Air France used to operate flights to Paris but I understand the route was flown via Bangkok.

I often use Skyscanner and have found it one of the best airline booking sites. However, I have noticed a few of the air fares do increase when you go to book them.

However, this seems to apply only to a small percentage of bookings and therefore still use Skyscanner to book most of my flights.

My only other complaint about Skyscanner is that some of the airfares in Cambodia and Vietnam are over priced and it is cheaper to book direct with the airline or use a local agent. I think this problem occurs because the English travel agents Skyscanner direct me to are trying to over charge!

They don't stop in SGN or Yangon for refuel purpose. Although most likely they do it as fuel price in PP is higher. But PP airport runway is long enough for fully loaded A330 to take-off.
