What price is the flight Doc and how often.

Sundays and Tuesdays. 17.5 hours in total. Booking with SA direct it is $946. If you book through BravoFly (owned by lastminute.com) and it's $666.

Korean and Asiana is $900-$1000 and is 24 hours in total due to the 6 hours layover in Seoul, so I will never be going that way again.

Great flight times too

Thats not bad Doc, one question are many flights subject to cancel like I was reading not long ago?
Anyhow had a look, seeing what was available, say from November given a clear month before departure. The Thai Airways 16 hours 25 minutes looks favourable.

Until Thai Airways are up and running I would stick with airlines that are already flying and haven't been cancelling left right and centre.

I have no intention of going to the UK any time soon, but it is nice to know that should I need to return in an emergency that are other options to the Seoul route.

Rule of the thumb should be to check on airline websites first to see what actually takes off.

These booking websites are still selling tickets for flights that will never happen. If you want to know what airline actually visits PP, check the PP airport website for airline. Step 2, the airline website, and then for hopefully more favorable pricing the other websites.

Also avoid airlines with connecting flights with the Middle East, higher risk of covid on your flight, see for instance Korean Airlines....

I flew Singapore and the flight to SIngapore was pretty empty. A whole row for myself. I could sleep and rest. 10 hrs in a holding area in Singapore was not so nice. You can order food but I preferred to stock up on snacks ahead of time.
Flight Singapore-PP was packed, surprised noone was sitting on the wings.

Food on the long haul flight was good, last leg a decent sandwich. I flew economy.

Try to bring a stamped and signed covid test, check-in ladies will be easier to deal with. I know some dont do that or dont want to sign and stamp but insist.It is worthwhile.

This is the search engine that powers Google Flight

Then onwards to Phnom Phnom via SilkAir. I used to take it almost every other month to every month for while from the US to Cambodia. Glad they finally decided to use London Heathrow. Moscow (DME) was cold and miserable. Later on Manchester was cold with not much to do.

Thing is, London is no good to me, I want to be in Manchester, with heading northwards.
Never used Phnom Penh airport, always flew in and out of Bangkok. Etihad was favorite and ended up with a gold card, like yourself I was flying a bit. But the time when I had to have medical assistance, flew again from Bangkok, earliest I could get was four days in advance, high cost of around $1500 one way to Manchester UK

Any cops available to get me in for a $1000 tip?

Will have covid test and insurance.

If you guys are monitoring.......

I had an offer from an agent in PP to give me an invitation letter (offer of employment) for $350. Decided to wait a while until things cool down. If you PM me I will pass on the contact details.

Hi Lagrange,
I just registered. So I am unable to PM you. Could you please send me contact details for the agent in PP? Thanks.

The London Embassy has a very helpful consular guy. Anyone in the UK ready to make an application can PM me and I will let you have his name and mobile number, the Embassy are not very good at answering their phones.

I have seen him this morning (providing we're talking of the same guy!) and everything went smoothly. I do have a few questions though, you mind sending me a message in private? Thanks
