Asian LCCs: Bangkok and Siem Reap Airways Cut Fuel Surcharges

This week, we're headed to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the small town on which some eight million tourists descend annually to visit the adjacent, famed Angkor Wat temples. But now, we're wondering if we should've delayed the visit.

Siem Reap Airways and its parent company, Bangkok Airways, have both cut their fuel surcharges on both international and domestic flights. An SRA spokesbot says:

We do not want to take advantage of people and try to earn more money after the price of crude has already dropped.

The 15 percent fee cut only saves passengers about $5 per ticket. But since that's the average nightly hostel budget for someone on the SE Asia travel circuit, every little bit counts.
