Good news for intrepid travellers from our little red dot looking for yet another short getaway option: Emirates now flies daily to Phnom Penh via Singapore. Yes, Cambodia, an underrated travel destination, if you ask us. After all, Phnom Penh offers the buzz of city life (think cool hotels, restaurants and bars) and a poignant look into Cambodia’s tumultuous history, while Siem Reap (and the historical wonder that is Angkor Wat) is just a hop and a skip away.
8days was recently invited on the inaugural Singapore-Phnom Penh flight on the Boeing 777-300 ER. While the Biz Class experience on the B777 is a little different from Emirates’ acclaimed A380 Biz Class cabin (read our full A380 review here), it is a Business Class seat after all, so this Economy Class regular relished living it up nonetheless.
Side note: Emirates also flies the B777 from Singapore to Melbourne and Dubai, so you can expect a similar Business Class cabin on these flights as well. More info on flights and bookings here.
