Phnom Penh International is a small, single-terminal airport with no dedicated transit zone, so almost all 'connections' involve exiting through immigration, collecting bags, and re-checking in. It's straightforward and rarely congested, but the lack of an airside transfer process makes it inherently slower than hub airports built for connections. There is one compact terminal building, so all passengers walk between check-in, security, immigration, and gates on foot. There is no airside inter-terminal transfer; international arrivals must clear Cambodian immigration and often collect and recheck bags even for onward flights, since through-check agreements are limited.
