According to the airport's departures board, Air Cambodia and Cambodia Airways fly from Techo International Airport (KTI) to Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI).[3] The flight is shorter in the air, but add the transfers to KTI and from SAI before comparing. Choose the bus if you prefer to travel between city terminals and avoid airports.
