Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Why don't they just ban Chinese passport holders like they did to Americans

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Keep a close eye on your flight schedule. Coronavirus times are unprecedented and changes to schedules or cancellations are common. I luckily signed up for Text up dates and E mail up dates = EVA air this am had out of the blue with no explanation, cancelled the flight out of SFO (BR 27 leaving at 120 am on September 3 Thursday 2020)... my experience in the pre covid times is flights may have arrival or departure changes but outright cancellations are rare. No longer. Keep your head on a swivel and routinely check your flight status is my advice!

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
For some obscure reason, direct flights between Malaysia and Cambodia remain banned for fear of Covid-19, yet (according to this article), Singapore has agreed to have passengers transiting OVERNIGHT at Changi Airport when flying between Malaysia and Cambodia.
However, the new twice weekly flight between Singapore and Phnom Penh is good news for expats in Cambodia and those trying to return.

Travel between Malaysia and Cambodia (via Singapore) to become available in days
Harrison White / Khmer Times
Singapore Airlines has secured approval for passengers to travel between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, transiting via Singapore.
The process will renew travel between Malaysia and Cambodia (via Singapore) which was banned in August because of fears of COVID-19 spreading more widely.
Singapore Airlines will run two weekly services between Phnom Penh and Singapore from Sept 1, on Tuesdays and Sundays.
Those flying from Phnom Penh to Kuala Lumpur can depart from Phnom Penh International Airport on a Tuesday, transit in Singapore Changi Airport overnight and then catch a connecting flight to Kuala Lumpur International Airport on a Wednesday.
During transit in Singapore, all passengers will be required to remain in the designated transit holding area until they are official escorted to a boarding gate for their connecting flight.
The Cambodian government temporarily banned all flights from Malaysia and Indonesia on Aug 1. All arrivals will be required to follow strict quarantine conditions once arriving in Cambodia.
They include a $2,000 deposit at a bank set up in Phnom Penh International Airport, 14 days in self-isolated quarantine at a designated hotel or other agreed venue and a COVID-19 test. The passenger is free to go about his or her business thereafter if cleared.
Further details are not yet available or unclear, including the cost of the flights and hotels or who will be allowed on the flights and under what conditions. However, it is being regarded by travel observers as a move towards a gradual opening up of borders.

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
How to come from Italy to Phnom Penh safely? Are there any guaranteed or highly probable routes and companies?
Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Flights to Phnom Penh, let me just change the title for an instant - Flights from Phnom Penh - The COVID-19 spreading more widely lets say, with an overall increase in this country, anyone on this site think or know that the measures in place, or that what would be acted upon would be sufficient to keep ones self safe? So what chance is there to fly too your own homelands?

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Like getting here, getting back to your home country would be possible but not cheap, I'm amazed how many people travel with only day to day attitude and funds but maybe I'm oldAndyKK wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 4:05 pm Flights to Phnom Penh, let me just change the title for an instant - Flights from Phnom Penh - The COVID-19 spreading more widely lets say, with an overall increase in this country, anyone on this site think or know that the measures in place, or that what would be acted upon would be sufficient to keep ones self safe?

Yes, that is what I was thinking, that is how some of the people have recently found there in a problem, easy to hang it out if you have the finance. But it was more an hypothetical question if the Covid-19 hit this country in an hard way. There maybe many reasons I ask the question, or think of the situation, of what if? Firstly I live in the suburbs I suppose too the city, and just looking around at life on a daily basis, there's very little precautions people take, also that can be said of western people around the city.atst wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:56 amLike getting here, getting back to your home country would be possible but not cheap, I'm amazed how many people travel with only day to day attitude and funds but maybe I'm oldAndyKK wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 4:05 pm Flights to Phnom Penh, let me just change the title for an instant - Flights from Phnom Penh - The COVID-19 spreading more widely lets say, with an overall increase in this country, anyone on this site think or know that the measures in place, or that what would be acted upon would be sufficient to keep ones self safe?

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Apparently transiting through China is now allowed again (oh, the irony!) according to the following website (see point 4):
https://bio.visaforchina.org/LON2_EN/ge ... 3904.shtml
I found it on the UK Foreign Office site, so I think it's legit:

The first link appears to be a pre-COVID discussion of transit w/o visa.Wrightstate wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 10:55 pm Apparently transiting through China is now allowed again (oh, the irony!) according to the following website (see point 4):

Also, the UK foreign office discussion of transit w/o visa doesn't specify that these are new rules post-COVID. Those two sites don't give me confidence that TWOV is currently allowed.

Re: Flights to Phnom Penh - Flight Information
Fair point. Maybe I should have added that the gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china/entry-requirements site do recommend contacting your Chinese embassy and/or the bio.visaforchina.org site about transit visa waiver eligibility. I know though that previously on the UK FO site, transit was not allowed, so that has recently changed.RandyN wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 1:43 amThe first link appears to be a pre-COVID discussion of transit w/o visa.Wrightstate wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 10:55 pm Apparently transiting through China is now allowed again (oh, the irony!) according to the following website (see point 4):
