Just saw on the PNH airport webpage that Malaysia airlines is flying on the 3rd. MH 754.

On the company's website there are flights offered also for November. I did not check other dates. In case this was not mentioned before it might be helpful for some. Seems that they have agreements with Qatar for connecting flights/one ticket.

Good news. More of them, more the cheaper prices.

PNH Airport webpage? Got a link? I'm looking at the official Cambodia/VINCI Airports Website and FB page and can see no mention of flights to/from Malaysia resuming.

Malaysia Airlines and Qatar never actually stopped selling tickets for flights between KL and PNH, my companies travel manager kept booking me return flights DOH-KUL-PNH despite me informing them numerous times that Cambodia had banned all flights between the 2 countries. I would be happy if these flights resume because it's a right pain in the ass having to go all the way to Seoul.

Many airlines have been selling speculative flights throughout this whole pandemic, that's why it's so important to conduct thorough research before booking flights, it is no longer a simple case of jumping on Skyscanner etc. and booking an advertised flight, you need to confirm that the flights are actually operational, and that there are no restrictions in regards to the routing ie. transit permitted, etc.

yep, gone. https://pnh.cambodia-airports.aero/en/f ... departures
This is the link, no more Malaysia airlines for the 3rd. I checked for the 10th on their website and nothing. But again showing for October 17 and 24.

Seems the airport team was late with deleting and I fell into the trap. Added to that the fact that Malaysia Airlines plays these games. Before it was several week or at least a month, now only two weeks before they stop offering those non-existent flights. Really nasty, they need money, it seems.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Ok yea, yea that's the official Cambodia Airports/VINCI website. Just checked Malaysia Airlines website also, they have flights from KUL-SIN, then from SIN-PNH on SIA, so no change unfortunately...you had my hopes up for a minute there :cry:

For those not aware, Cambodia Airports posts the confirmed commercial passenger flight schedule each month and if/when there are any changes on their FB page, handy for planning travel, but be sure you check routing/transit restrictions to ensure you are eligible for transit ie. Taiwan, China, Hong Kong.

(They haven't posted October's schedule yet)

Curious to see what happens when they update this month's schedule. Without wishing to get too off topic, ANA sent out messaging saying that the daily NRT-PNH service was going to be restored on the 31st, but last time I checked I didn't see anything bookable.
