Spent about 7 hours at this airport waiting for an Emirates flight to Yangon and Dubai. The best advice I can give anyone is DO NOT arrive super early for your flight. If you need to kill time, do it anywhere but there. The check-in space is at a minimum so the airlines all share space. You will not have a check in counter assigned to your airline and flight until 3 hours before departure time. So, you will be stuck in the check in area until that time, and it is miserable. There's nothing in that area but a few places to eat (oddly, this includes a Crispy Creme. The only one I had seen in Cambodia) This area of the airport is very uncomfortable. I was traveling to Seattle by way of Dubai on Emirates and in Business Class for the entire trip. I foolishly thought that I could go to the airport after I had to checkout of my hotel at noon and utilize the business class lounge while waiting for my evening flight. It seems like a reasonable expectation when you're paying almost 5,000.00 US each way for a business class ticket. Emirates disagrees I guess. You must check-in at the counter to access the lounge and you can't do that until 3 hours prior to your flight. Once you're able to get past security this airport is not bad. The duty free area is like passing through a gauntlet. You can't avoid it because right after security you must walk through it's entire length to get to the gates. Do it out. There are some really good deals. There's also a pharmacy in the gate area. It actually sells Vicodin and Diazepam over the counter for about 20 bucks per 30 pack. Use responsibly and know that those drugs become illegal without a prescription the second u land in the USA and many other Countries. There's also a Dairy Queen in the gate area. I used the last of my Cambodian currency there. Maybe it was the Vicodin and Valume or maybe it was heat, but I've never enjoyed an ice cream cone so much.
