Booking flights with vpn

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I prefer spending 90 mins waiting on the plane rather than having to transit through BKK.
That certainly helps if you can amble around the cabin. I guess it is usually not full either, as most pax dis/embark at SGN?

Yes, you can do some walking around after landing & disembarkment, but soon the cleaners will come and clean blocking the aisles. During the stop the IFE system is switched off as well if I recall well.

Yea, majority pax disembark at SGN, bugger all get on for the SGN-PNH leg usually. My last flight into PNH, which was the first time since they resumed the route since COVID, there were only about 10 of us on the SGN-PNH leg, the PNH-SGN leg was probably about 20-25 pax, will see what it's like next week when I fly home again.

@armchairlawyer last 2 flights I'd say 70% at a guess. Flying DOH - PNH again next week so will see what it's like then.
