For my trip to Cambodia, Thailand, and Singapore in December of last year, I was looking at flight options from Siem Reap to Bangkok. Scanning the news, I noticed that AirAsia had just announced their plans for a DMK-REP flight. I quickly went to the AirAsia website and noted they have had it on sale for about $80. Knowing that PG and K6 were much more expensive, I jumped on the sale and bought a one-way REP-DMK.
On the day of departure, I rose early and headed to Siem Reap airport where the ticket counter of AirAsia was not open yet. I sat down and had a green tea at the nearby coffee corner and waited... When I saw people lining up, I quickly joined the queue and soon after the AirAsia counters opened I checked my bag (prepaid online) and went through security. The gate area was rather busy and it later it turned out that the flight was almost completely full (no surprise there).
