International Airfare Information

Rustic Pathways uses Singapore Airlines for our escorted flights from the USA to Singapore, our Asian airline hub. You then travel onwards from Singapore to your final destination in Cambodia (varies depending on specific program in Cambodia). Travel from the USA to Singapore is on escorted Singapore Airlines Flights. Travel from Singapore to Cambodia is on either Singapore Airlines, Silk Air (a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines), Jetstar, or Air Asia.

Domestic USA Airfare is Not Included: Rustic Pathways tickets students originating in the USA on our escorted group flight from Los Angeles or New York to Singapore and then onwards to Cambodia. Students are responsible for making their own flight arrangements from their home city to one of the aforementioned USA gateway cities.
Visa Requirements: Participants traveling to Cambodia will billed the $69 visa and exit tax fee on their trip invoice allowing Rustic staff to easily obtain visas on arrival for all students at the border as well as to pay the exit fee when departing the country. Students DO need to bring four passport size photos with them to obtain their visa upon arrival. You do NOT need to obtain a Cambodian visa prior to leaving the USA - you can do it when you arrive in Cambodia! Students who are not traveling on a US passport should check online for their visa requirements.

For further questions about flights to Cambodia, connecting your Cambodia trip with any of our other Asian destinations, or any other aspect of your trip with us, please email us at cambodia@rusticpathways.com and one of our experienced staff members will get back to you as quickly as possible!

Our Programs are Designed to be Combined!

Almost all Rustic Pathways programs interconnect! Many of our students take advantage of this by combining several programs – and often several countries – to build their perfect summer. Most programs have numerous departure dates which allow students the flexibility to travel at their convenience. We strongly encourage students to take advantage of their time in this fascinating part of the world

Visit New Cambodia first, then...
Add Burma $265
Add China $695
Add India $795
Add Laos $355
Add Thailand $125
Add Vietnam $395

Please note that we do not currently offer flight quotes for programs in the South Pacific (Australia, Fiji and New Zealand) and Mongolia because of scheduling conflicts. Instead, we highly recommend scheduling your South Pacific or Mongolia programs first and then connect to Cambodia. Otherwise, you will most likely miss a minimum of one (1) full program day due to travel times.

For students who traveling to multiple countries, please contact our Main Office at 800-321-4353 ext.0 for the current additional Tax and Fuel Surcharge quote.

About Escorted Flights

We have tried our hardest to have a staff member on every flight; however, on short, non-stop flights there may not always be a flight leader. In these cases, students are always checked-in for their international flight by a Rustic Pathways staff member and met by a staff member upon arrival and after clearing customs.

Specifically, students traveling to Cambodia leave Los Angeles or New York on our escorted group flight to Thailand and then connect from Thailand to Cambodia.  While all of our international flights from the USA are escorted, please note that some our flights within Mainland Asia may not be escorted flights.

Safe Arrival Emails

Within 12 hours of students reaching their program destinations, a safe arrival email is sent to their parents confirming the students' safe arrival overseas. Just one more way that we try to increase transparency and help you understand that your son or daughter is just as important to us as he/she is to you.

About International Travel Costs

The airfares listed on the country pages are estimates only, and all airfares are subject to change without notice. Late applicants are sometimes unable to secure seats on our group flights or obtain the airfares indicated here. All airfares are subject to taxes, airport fees and fuel surcharges which vary according to airline and destination, and which are beyond our control. Rustic Pathways reserves the right to pass along any increases in these costs should this become necessary.

Getting to Your Gateway City

Students traveling to Cambodia are responsible for getting to Los Angeles or New York on their own. Due to frequent domestic airline delays pertaining to weather or mechanical problems, we require that you arrive at your gateway city a minimum of 4 hours prior to the departure of the group flight.

Checking Your Luggage

All students not beginning their journey in Los Angeles or New York must pick up their bags from their domestic flights and recheck them for our international group flights. Please allow yourself enough time to pick up and check in your bags to our international group flights.
