Booking the Best Price on Your Flight in 3 Segments ✈️

Step 1: Get to a Major U.S. Gateway

Depending on which side of the country you live on, search Kayak.com for the cheapest flight from the largest airport near you to one of these major U.S. international gateways.

Book this segment first.

  • LAX (Los Angeles)

  • SEA (Seattle)

  • SFO (San Francisco)

  • ORD (Chicago)

  • NYC / EWR (New York City / Newark)

✅ Tip: It’s often cheaper to book a short domestic flight to one of these hubs and then book the long international flight separately.

Step 2: Fly from the U.S. Hub to Southeast Asia

Next, search Kayak.com for the cheapest flight from your chosen U.S. hub to one of these five major Southeast Asia international hubs and book that segment.

Major Southeast Asia Flight Hubs:

  • Bangkok (BKK), Thailand

  • Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Vietnam

  • Hanoi (HAN), Vietnam

  • Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Malaysia

  • Singapore (SIN)

👉 These cities have the most flight options, competition, and cheapest long-haul fares into Southeast Asia.

Step 3: Final Hop to Cambodia

Finally, search Kayak.com for the cheapest flight from your Southeast Asia hub to Siem Reap (SAI).
