East coast, USA, which is about 30 hours, connecting in South Korea. Direct flight from Washington, DC to Seoul, then another 5 hrs to Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh is pretty well connected to other Asian cities, though many flights leave at strange hours (very late or very early). - May 2024
I'm from New Jersey. Trips back home from Phnom Penh usually take about 30 hours with a layover in Seoul, Korea (5.5 hours) before the 14-hour flight to New York. Seoul is the fastest and most reliable connection right now and it's continued to be the case throughout the pandemic. Not difficult to travel to Cambodia, but it's long and you're tired by the end of the journey. - Jul 2021
