Siem Reap Airport

Nice little airport with reasonable prices at shops. The biggest let downs are the immigration officials asking for a tip for stamping your passport. Have never seen something like that.

Beautiful small airport using a lot of wood as decoration and looking traditional very much like Cengkareng Jakarta. Quick obtention of visa on arrival no customs check. Nice shops fantastic bookshop and friendly people a model airport.

Obtained e-visa prior to leaving home arrived airport only cabin baggage we were not the first off but were first out of the terminal in about 10 minutes.

We flew from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh where we were flying directly on to Singapore on Jetstar. We were informed that we would need a visa for Vietnam even though we were in transit as we would have to collect our luggage and check in again at HCM. We were charged $200 each to have a Vietnam visa arranged to collect at HCM on arrival there. We were not going to be allowed to board our flight in SR so had no choice other than to pay up . There was a man waiting for us on arrival at HCM and we got the visas collected our bags and checked in again all without leaving the airport. Has this happened to other travelers? It cost more than the flight! This was the only sour note after spending 3 lovely weeks in Cambodia.

A nice enough airport aesthetically but utterly rude staff - they almost beat LA staff for total contempt for their passengers forgetting perhaps that we passengers keep them in jobs.

It's clean tidy and staff seem to be friendly. There is free wi-fi which was reliable. You have to pay $25USD departure tax which some passengers complain about but you probably pay more in your ticket for flights from major airports. There are no airbridges meaning there is a walk to the aircraft.

I've used this airport several times and they usually manage to keep it pretty clean and the staff are fairly attentive. Filling out your visa forms on the plane will speed up the process when you arrive. Reports of immigration officials asking for "tips" have been on the increase (do not tip them!) as have reports of people with fake e-visas. (The e-visa site is occasionally being hacked into and it can be difficult to tell if you have been issued the real thing) If your e-visa is not the real thing you will have to line up again and pay $20 for a VOA (visa on arrival).

Overall a convenient and clean airport with a more than reasonable shopping and seating offer. A lot of paperwork upon arrival though and queues can be lengthy both at arrival and departure at passport control.

Small airport with few gates. Close to town. Quick in (passport control) and out (security). Wide range of services for such a small place but only one vendor of each (except food) so no selection.

Well built and very clean. Close to town. Easy check in when you depart and easy customs checks when you arrive. No lines at security. Has all the services needed (but only one choice of vendors due to the airports small size). Lots of smiles from the staff.
