I don't think there are many airlines flying this route as Sihanoukville airport only reopened about 6 months ago. In that time one of the flights crashed, killing everyone onboard. Probably best to take the bus! The only airline flying the route is PMTair. Runway is being extended so I imagine more airlines will fly there within a few years.

When I was in Cambodia there was no direct bus so I had to transit in Phnom Penh and jump on the next bus to Siem Reap. Took around 9 hours in total. Probably a direct bus now though.

I didn't find any flights between either. It's about a 6 hour direct journey by bus which is available daily.

Between Vietnam and Cambodia and vice versa the major carriers are Vietnam Airlines, Thai Air International and Bangkok Airways.

According to Wiki the only airline flying to Sihanoukville "International" is PMTair and there are no scheduled flights on their website. Once the runway is increased I'm sure Air Asia will be there pretty sharpish. You can fly direct from KL to Vientiane now with Air Asia biggrin.gif
