Why book domestic flights in Myanmar?
Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, and travelling between cities can take a long time by road.
Flying is often the easiest way to get around, especially for longer trips or places that are harder to reach. Domestic flights are quicker, more convenient, and help you make the most of your time in the country.
Common reasons to fly domestically in Myanmar:
- Shorter travel times between cities and remote towns
- Limited road or rail connections in some regions
- Quick access to popular destinations like Yangon, Mandalay, and Bagan
For example, a flight from Yangon to Mandalay takes about 1.5 hours, compared with 8-10 hours if you drive.

How early do I need to arrive for domestic flights in Myanmar?
