Air Asia opens PP to Penang from December 10th

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 don't know but I'm not surprised, I don't really know where the demand for that route is supposed to be coming from.
Me! I wanted to go!

I spent ages planning that out, places to go, bars to drink in, food to eat etc. FFS, no more Mr Cultural...

This morning I found my hotel and was about to book the flight, but Air Asia no longer show the flights. SkyScanner do, with MyTrip, but that sounds like they haven't caught up.

Anyone know of AA have abandoned this route or they just don't want me onboard?
Gone.

They still have a flight with a stopover in DMK, but it's pretty inconvenient. You have to buy seperate tickets too, bearing the risk of a delay. Just looked into it last month.
Some days Malaysia has a more or less decent connection in KUL but more expensive and the flight back is a very early one, 6.20 AM if I recall well.

Is that official? Have they abandoned the route or just delayed the launch?

Looks like my cultural trip to Panang just got diverted to Pattaya.
Nope, but both app and website don't show them anymore, only show flights from competitors.

Penang will surely rebound in tourism adding more flights and less costs to get there. Just be patient!

Popular destination for seminars for medical practitioners. My dentist has been there often.
