Why are flights to Myanmar so expensive in 2026?
Flights to Myanmar are expensive because the country is cut off from normal aviation due to sanctions and conflict, forcing you through pricey detours.
To put it bluntly: a return trip from Frankfurt to Yangon that cost around €800 in 2019 now runs €1,350 to €1,800 or more. That’s a painful jump, and here’s why.
First, there are no direct flights from Europe to Myanmar. You have to connect through Bangkok or Singapore on carriers like Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, or Myanmar Airways International. That first long-haul leg is already expensive because planes must avoid the Russian airspace ban, adding hours of flying time and extra fuel costs.
Second, jet fuel inside Myanmar is hard to get. Western sanctions limit fuel supplies to pressure the military government, so airlines sometimes carry extra fuel for the return trip. Heavier planes burn more fuel, and you pay for it.
Third, insurance costs have spiked. Insurers see Myanmar as a conflict zone, so airlines pay steep war-risk premiums just to land there. Those costs go straight onto your ticket.
Finally, fewer tourists mean airlines focus on travellers who must go—aid workers, diplomats, and families. With little competition for seats, prices stay high.
The outlook: Don’t expect bargains soon. Until sanctions ease and the security situation improves, connecting through Southeast Asian hubs will remain the only option—and a costly one.

Superdeals to Myanmar
Fly for half price (or less)
Airlines don't design their pricing systems to offer half-price tickets. However, when algorithms detect demand shortfalls for specific routes, automated systems apply steep discounts to fill planes. Airlines would rather accept losses than fly with empty seats.
ATC monitors thousands of routes from Europe 24/7, detecting Superdeals with 40–80% discounts. While a typical return flight from Europe to Yangon costs €900+, with Superdeals you can often grab it for around €350:

Travel hacks and insights
for Europe — Myanmar flights
Verified strategies to save money and avoid friction on routes to Myanmar.
German Foreign Office warns against all Myanmar travel
The German Federal Foreign Office and other European authorities maintain a strict “Do Not Travel” (Level 4 equivalent) advisory for Myanmar. This status invalidates most standard European travel insurance policies, which typically exclude countries under such warnings.
If you must travel, you cannot rely on standard credit card insurance or generic policies. You need specialized “high-risk” or “war zone” coverage from providers like Battleface or Global Underwriters, in addition to the mandatory local coverage required for entry.
Singapore Airlines offers safest connection reliability
While often €150-200 more expensive than Thai Airways options, Singapore Airlines provides the most reliable connectivity into Yangon (RGN) during periods of instability. Their flight schedules are less prone to sudden cancellations compared to regional competitors.
If a flight is cancelled, Singapore Airlines has the capacity to reroute or accommodate passengers in Singapore, whereas cancellations on separate tickets via Bangkok leave you stranded with no protection. For travel to high-risk zones, this operational stability justifies the price premium.
Return ticket proof strictly enforced
Immigration enforcement in Myanmar and airline check-in agents in Europe strictly verify proof of onward travel. You must hold a confirmed flight ticket out of Myanmar within the 28-day visa window. Bus or land border crossing tickets are rarely accepted.
If you plan to leave flexibly, buy a fully refundable ticket for the return leg or use a service like OnwardTicket for a temporary verifiable booking. Arriving on a one-way ticket virtually guarantees denied entry or denied boarding in Europe.
Flight insurance loophole for “civil unrest”
Most travel insurance policies have exclusion clauses for “civil unrest,” “martial law,” or “acts of war.” Since Myanmar is currently experiencing these conditions, flight cancellations due to political events are likely uninsured losses.
Read your policy’s fine print carefully. You likely need a “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) upgrade to get any reimbursement if you decide not to travel due to a deteriorating security situation that doesn’t technically close the airport.
Yangon airport taxi counter safety
Upon arrival at RGN, ignore touts approaching you in the main hall. Proceed directly to the official taxi counters clearly marked near the exit. They provide a slip with the car number and fixed price (approx 15,000 MMK to downtown).
This system provides a paper trail for your journey, which is a critical safety feature in the current environment. The price is slightly higher than street hailing, but the security of a tracked vehicle is non-negotiable for foreign visitors.
Mandatory Myanma Insurance required for visa entry
Regardless of your personal travel insurance, Myanmar requires purchasing specific inbound travel accident insurance from the state-owned Myanma Insurance to obtain a visa. The cost is typically around $50-60 USD depending on coverage duration.
You must print the insurance certificate in color and present it at check-in in Europe and immigration in Yangon. Airlines will deny boarding without this specific document, even if you hold a superior policy from a European provider like Allianz or AXA.
What travelers ask most
Expert answers on routing, carriers, timing, and fees
Are there new flights connecting Europe to Yangon?
While there are still no direct flights from Europe, Myanmar Airways International (MAI) recently expanded codeshare partnerships in late 2025 to improve connections via Dubai and Doha. This allows for smoother baggage transfers for travelers flying Qatar Airways or Emirates from hubs like Frankfurt, Paris, or London.
Previously, travelers often had to re-check bags in Bangkok or Singapore when switching to local carriers. With these new interline agreements, you can often check your luggage all the way through to Yangon (RGN), reducing the risk of missed connections. Prices for these connected itineraries generally range from €800-€1,100 for economy round-trip.
Do I need a VPN to access the internet in Myanmar?
Yes, a reliable paid VPN is essential for accessing many Western apps and websites. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are frequently blocked or throttled by local ISPs. Banking apps and Gmail usually work without one, but speeds can be slow.
Download and install your VPN (like ExpressVPN or NordVPN) *before* you arrive in Myanmar, as the VPN websites themselves are often blocked, making it impossible to download them once you are in the country. Also, buy a local SIM card from MPT or Atom upon arrival (approx €5 for 10GB) rather than relying on hotel WiFi, which is often too slow for anything beyond basic emails.
Can I use Grab or Uber in Myanmar?
Grab is widely available and very reliable in Yangon and Mandalay. It is safer and easier than negotiating with street taxis because the price is fixed and the driver is tracked. You can pay via the app if you link a card, but cash is often preferred by drivers.
In smaller towns like Bagan or Inle Lake, Grab is non-existent. There, you will rely on e-bikes, tuk-tuks, or private drivers. Renting an e-bike in Bagan costs about €4-6 per day and gives you total freedom to explore the temples, but check the battery level before leaving the shop.
How does Air Traveler Club find cheap flights to Myanmar?
We use AI to monitor pricing anomalies across 150+ airlines, specifically targeting routes from Europe to Asian hubs like Bangkok, Singapore, and Yangon. While a standard fare from Frankfurt to Yangon might cost €900+, our system detects temporary drops or “Superdeals” where the price falls to €450-550.
These deals are manually verified by our team to ensuring the layovers are reasonable and the airlines are reputable (like Qatar, Emirates, or Thai Airways). We then alert our free newsletter subscribers instantly. You book directly with the airline, ensuring full ticket protection—we just point you to the hidden savings.
What are Superdeals and are they safe to book?
Superdeals are verified flight offers with 40-80% savings compared to standard market rates. These aren’t “glitch fares” that might get cancelled; they are legitimate published fares resulting from airline algorithm adjustments or new route promotions.
For example, we might find a Business Class seat to Southeast Asia for €1,400 instead of the usual €3,500. Because you book directly with the airline (not a third-party agency), your ticket is as safe as any full-price fare. The only catch is speed—these deals typically vanish within 3-7 days, so our newsletter members need to act fast when an alert lands.

Is a stopover in Bangkok worth it before flying to Yangon?
Absolutely. Since most flights from Europe to Myanmar require a transfer in Bangkok anyway, turning it into a 24-48 hour stopover is a smart strategy. It breaks up the long journey, allows you to acclimate to the time zone, and serves as a safety buffer for your connection.
Furthermore, flights from Bangkok to Yangon are plentiful and cheap (€50-80). By booking a “multi-city” ticket or two separate tickets, you can often save money compared to a single through-ticket. Just remember you’ll need to clear Thai immigration, so ensure you meet Thailand’s entry requirements.
Is Business Class worth the upgrade for flights to Myanmar?
For the long-haul leg from Europe to Asia (11-13 hours), Business Class is a game-changer for arriving rested, especially given the heat and potential chaos upon arrival in Yangon. However, for the short regional hop from Bangkok or Singapore to Yangon (1-2 hours), it’s rarely worth the extra €200-300.
The regional planes are often smaller narrow-bodies with “recliner” business seats rather than lie-flat beds. A smart strategy is to book Premium Economy or Business for the long flight to the hub, and then standard Economy for the short connection to Myanmar.
Nonstop (direct) vs 1-stop
How much do flights from Europe to Myanmar cost?
No nonstop service exists between Europe and Myanmar. All routings require at least one connection, with total journey times of roughly 15-20 hours depending on hub choice.
This is standard for the route—most travelers connect through Bangkok (BKK), Singapore (SIN), or Doha (DOH) with minimal hassle. Select connection times of 2.5-4 hours for international-to-international transfers—enough buffer for immigration, security, and gate changes without excessive waiting.
All ATC Superdeals are manually verified for optimal connection times and efficient hub routing.
