Hoping to get some feedback or experience of anyone who has transited PNH via domestic (REP) to an international flight.
I am looking to book a flight from REP to PNH arriving @ 9AM, and connecting to my international flight @ 11:05AM.
Does that seem doable or is it not recommended? Is is an easy transit with 2 hours?
Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried a transit personally, but it should be entirely doable, especially if you don't have carry-on luggage or are able to check it through. Domestic and international flights leave from the same terminal building and operations are reasonably efficient. The main question mark, as anywhere, is whether your connecting flight will arrive on time, but Siem Reap Airways (which I presume you're flying REP-PNH) is usually pretty punctual.

I agree with jpatokal. Siem Reap Airways (currently the only airline flying the REP-PNH route) is generally on-time, and PNH is a small airport. I don't know if they'll let you check your bags through, but you're probably ok (though a bit rushed) even if you have to pick up your bags and check in again. If the latter is the case, though, I would try to call the PNH staff for the airline you're connecting to and let them know what's up.

Thanks guys for the response.
I think I'll make a run for it then. I only have a carry on so I think I will be fine.
