Why Fly Private
Commercial flights to Siem Reap typically route through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Ho Chi Minh City, adding significant layover time. A private jet flies direct from any regional hub in one to three hours. The temples are best explored at dawn and dusk when light and crowds are optimal, so arriving on your own schedule — rather than being constrained by commercial timetables — makes a meaningful difference to the experience.
