Month-by-month price guide for Manila to Phnom Penh flights
💡 Pro tip: The cheapest months are June through September — often ₱12,500–₱16,500 roundtrip on Philippine Airlines, since there's no rival nonstop carrier to force deeper discounts. Yes, it's Cambodia's rainy season, but afternoon showers rarely ruin a full day. Avoid mid-April (Khmer New Year) and late November (Bon Om Touk Water Festival) — those are the two most expensive windows of the year, and April's surge compounds with Philippine Holy Week if you leave booking late.
📅 Phnom Penh events & fare surges
MNL → Phnom Penh fares spike hard around these dates — book early or avoid entirely
🎉 Khmer New Year (Choul Chnam Thmey)
April 14–16 annually — worst window: Apr 12–17
+75%
avg fare surge
Cambodia's biggest annual holiday, when the country effectively shuts down as Cambodians and the diaspora travel home. Normal ₱14,000–₱16,000 roundtrip fares on Philippine Airlines climb to ₱22,000–₱28,000. Because PAL has no nonstop competitor here, there's no budget carrier undercutting the surge the way Cebu Pacific softens Songkran pricing on the Bangkok route. It also frequently overlaps Philippine Holy Week, doubling the incentive to book early.
💡 Book by January for April travel — PAL's limited nonstop seats in this class sell out well before the holiday itself.
🚣 Bon Om Touk (Water Festival)
November 23–25, 2026 — Phnom Penh riverfront
+55%
avg fare surge
Phnom Penh's population swells as boat races take over the Tonle Sap riverfront for three days — one of the biggest domestic travel events in Cambodia. Hotels along Sisowath Quay book out weeks ahead, and PAL's nonstop fares climb from the ₱15,000 baseline toward ₱20,000–₱24,000 roundtrip in the surrounding week.
💡 Fly out by November 20 if you want to catch the festival without paying peak-week fares both ways.
🎄 Christmas & New Year
December 18 – January 3
+45%
avg fare surge
Filipino families and Phnom Penh's small but active expat and Filipino community both travel over the holidays, pushing PAL's already-firm nonstop fares to ₱18,000–₱25,000 roundtrip. It's a real but comparatively mild surge next to Khmer New Year, since Cambodia itself doesn't observe Christmas as a major domestic travel holiday.
💡 January 6–20 is the reset window — fares drop back toward ₱14,000 within two weeks of New Year.
🏯 Angkor Sangkranta (Siem Reap)
April, timed with Khmer New Year — Siem Reap
+20%
add-on effect
A cultural festival at Angkor Wat that draws Filipino travellers combining a Phnom Penh flight with a Siem Reap side trip. It doesn't independently move MNL–Phnom Penh fares much, but it compounds Khmer New Year's surge since many travellers extend their April dates around it, tightening seat availability further.
💡 If you're combining Phnom Penh with Angkor Wat, fly in early April before the 12th to dodge both surges.
🇵🇭 PH Long Weekends (13th Month Effect)
Nov–Dec (13th month pay release); June–Aug long weekends
+15%
avg fare surge
With only around 10,000 Filipinos based in Cambodia, this route doesn't see the dramatic 13th-month exodus that routes to Gulf destinations or Hong Kong experience. Philippine long weekends nudge demand up modestly, but the bigger driver on this route by far is Cambodia's own domestic holiday calendar, not the Philippine one.
💡 Mid-week departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) consistently run 10–15% cheaper than Friday–Sunday on this route.
📊 How to read this: Surge percentages are averages vs the same route in a non-event week. A +75% surge on a ₱15,000 base fare means roughly ₱26,000. Because Philippine Airlines has this nonstop route to itself, surges here tend to stick rather than get undercut by a competing carrier the way they would on MNL–Bangkok. The single best thing you can do: subscribe for alerts and book MNL → Phnom Penh before January if you're travelling in April.

Is Phnom Penh cheaper than Singapore? Yes, by a wide margin — and cheaper than Bangkok too. Your $2 (~₱123) in Phnom Penh buys a full plate of fish amok or lok lak at a local restaurant. In Singapore, $2 barely covers a bottle of water. A guesthouse night near Russian Market runs $8–10; the cheapest comparable room in Singapore starts around $35–40. If you're chasing a visa-free city break that stretches a modest peso budget the furthest in mainland Southeast Asia, Phnom Penh consistently beats Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore on a per-day basis — you just won't find the same density of malls and nightlife.
🇵🇭 Filipino traveller intel — Phnom Penh edition
Things a Skyscanner page would never tell you
Cambodia has become a known hub for online scam operations that specifically target Filipino jobseekers. Fake "customer service" or "data entry" job ads on Facebook and Telegram, promising salaries well above local norms, are a documented recruitment pattern — the Philippine government has repatriated hundreds of trafficking victims from Cambodia in recent years, and confiscated passports on arrival is a known tactic. If you're flying to Cambodia for work rather than tourism, verify the employer through the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) before you book, not after you land. The Migrant Workers Office that opened in Phnom Penh in July 2026 exists specifically to help Filipinos in trouble here.
Phnom Penh's airport moved — and it's now 24km from the city, not 10km. Techo International Airport (KTI) replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) in September 2025. Many Filipinos booking today still assume the old airport's closer distance and shorter transfer time. Budget 45–75 minutes into the city depending on traffic, not the 20–30 minutes the old airport used to take, and factor that into any tight onward connections.
Philippine Airlines has this nonstop route entirely to itself — no Cebu Pacific, no AirAsia nonstop competitor. That means MNL–Phnom Penh doesn't get the aggressive piso-fare wars that make MNL–Bangkok or MNL–Singapore so cheap. If you want a genuinely rock-bottom fare, you'll likely need to accept a 1-stop routing on Cebu Pacific or AirAsia via Kuala Lumpur — usually ₱2,000–₱5,000 cheaper than PAL's nonstop, but 4 to 9 hours longer with a layover and often a separate baggage allowance.
Your Philippine peso card is close to useless in Cambodia — this is a US-dollar economy, not a Riel one. Unlike Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur where you can get by on local currency alone, Cambodia expects USD cash for anything beyond small change. Order US dollars from a Philippine bank like BDO or Metrobank a few days before you fly — the rate is meaningfully better than exchanging at Techo Airport, and it saves you from discovering your card doesn't work smoothly at a Cambodian ATM on day one.
Because there's no fare war on this route, a genuine PAL seat sale is worth grabbing the moment it appears. Philippine Airlines runs periodic promotional fares on MNL–Phnom Penh, but far less frequently than Cebu Pacific's piso fares on competitive routes — when one drops, the discounted seats go within a day, not the 6–12 hour window you'd get on a route with more inventory. piso-fare.com monitors this route and sends alerts the moment a fare drops — subscribe below.

No. As an ASEAN member, the Philippines has visa-free entry to Cambodia — extended from 21 to 30 days for Philippine passport holders in 2026. You do not need to apply for a visa before travelling. Bring a valid passport (at least 6 months validity), a return ticket, and proof of accommodation. You must also complete Cambodia's e-Arrival Card online within 7 days before your flight — it's free and replaced the old paper arrival form; air arrivals now get an email confirmation instead of a physical stamp.
Philippine Airlines operates the only nonstop flight from Manila (MNL) to Phnom Penh, taking around 3 hours. It lands at Techo International Airport (KTI), Cambodia's new main gateway that replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport in September 2025 and sits about 24km from the city centre. Cebu Pacific, AirAsia, Vietnam Airlines, and Thai Airways only offer this route with a stop, typically via Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, or Singapore, taking 7 to 12 hours total.
June through September, Cambodia's rainy season, is consistently the cheapest window — fares drop to ₱12,500–₱16,500 roundtrip on Philippine Airlines even without a promotional sale. The most expensive weeks are mid-April (Khmer New Year, which often overlaps Philippine Holy Week) and late November (Bon Om Touk Water Festival). Book by January for April travel, or by September for a November trip.
Philippine Airlines' nonstop fare is usually not the cheapest — because it has no nonstop competitor, it holds its price better than a route like MNL–Bangkok. Cebu Pacific or AirAsia routing through Kuala Lumpur, or Vietnam Airlines through Ho Chi Minh City, can run ₱2,000–₱5,000 cheaper roundtrip, but always check baggage fees separately, since budget-carrier advertised fares rarely include checked luggage on a connecting itinerary.
A piso fare is a promotional fare — popularised by Cebu Pacific — where base fares drop to ₱1. Because Cebu Pacific doesn't fly this route nonstop, MNL–Phnom Penh doesn't see the same piso-fare frequency as MNL–Bangkok or MNL–Cebu. What you'll see instead is periodic Philippine Airlines promotional fares, which are less dramatic but still worth grabbing quickly — they typically don't last more than a day once announced. Subscribe to piso-fare.com alerts to be notified the moment one appears.
Techo International Airport (KTI), which opened in Kandal province in September 2025 and fully replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) within the city. It's roughly 24km south of central Phnom Penh — about double the distance of the old airport — so budget 45–75 minutes for the transfer into town via the Airport Express Bus, Grab, or a taxi.
