Good deal
Excellent as I touched down floating through passport control and skipping to the baggage carousel grabbing my Osprey and Liforme yoga mat and speeding onto the rail link basement floor snack of cinnamon bread before stepping onboard onwards to central Bangkok Makkasan interchange station with Phetchaburi carrying me forth to my hostel a few stops north at Huay Kwang and the stutter before reorienting myself in the right direction my bunk ten minutes away thankful that I’m travelling with an obscenely light load which will be even airy these next few months while considering and funnily enough liking the intensity of the tropical heat a downpour delaying itself until the late hours of the day.
QD 504 from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap Check-in started unexpected late (domestic only 90 min. before departure). Airline was flexible with a typo in a passenger’s name (our fault) free of change for fixing it but a bit slow. Plane was new or newly refurbished very clean top condition no entertainment system no power at seat. The jet was a 320 with 3+3 seat layout. 30 minutes flight on a less than 1/2 full plane only some water was served but what can one expect for $30 including 20 kg checked luggage on such a short trip? Staff in the plane was very kind and family friendly (free snack for toddler for distraction). All in all a very good experience. (Much better than a 5 hour car ride from PP to SR)
