Melbourne-Phnom Penh is “Skyscanner Unserved Route of the Week”.

http://www.anna.aero/2017/11/29/melbour ... jump-onto/

Are there any nonstop flights from USA to Cambodia? No right?

Skyskanner is full if shit, 99.9999% of there results end up in the wrong price.

Whats the point of advertising something with the wrong price????

Not enough fuel for a 12-16 hr + 10-12 hr stretch. At least from here.

It's a scraper site, the only difference is in the fees or the fact it rounds up the pennies. So I've just looked for MEL PNH, it quoted me £431. It is actually £430.59. That took me about 20 seconds.

I also don't think that the large aircraft taking off from Phnom Penh could fly long distances eg. direct to the USA

Qatar operate Airbus A330 aircraft Phnom Penh - Siagon (Ho Chi Minh) - Doha so can refuel in Siagon (SGN) and
Emirates operates 777 aircraft Phnom Penh - Rangoon (Yangon) - Dubai.

Air France used to operate flights to Paris but I understand the route was flown via Bangkok.

I often use Skyscanner and have found it one of the best airline booking sites. However, I have noticed a few of the air fares do increase when you go to book them.

However, this seems to apply only to a small percentage of bookings and therefore still use Skyscanner to book most of my flights.

My only other complaint about Skyscanner is that some of the airfares in Cambodia and Vietnam are over priced and it is cheaper to book direct with the airline or use a local agent. I think this problem occurs because the English travel agents Skyscanner direct me to are trying to over charge!

They don't stop in SGN or Yangon for refuel purpose. Although most likely they do it as fuel price in PP is higher. But PP airport runway is long enough for fully loaded A330 to take-off.
