Cheap flights discovered by AI✨

Our AI finds Superdeals to Myanmar from all major airports in North America. You book directly with airlines for half the price—or less.
Why are flights to Myanmar so expensive in 2026?
Flights to Myanmar cost a lot more than nearby countries because of politics, not distance.
Here’s a reality check: A flight from New York to Bangkok costs around $1,150 to $1,350. But fly just one more hour to Yangon, Myanmar, and you’ll pay $1,850 to $2,300. That’s up to $950 extra for a tiny hop.
So what’s going on? First, sanctions on jet fuel have made it risky for airlines to refuel in Yangon. Many carriers now carry extra fuel for the return trip, which means fewer seats and higher prices for you. Second, most airlines have left. Before 2021, over 30 international carriers flew to Myanmar. Now, only a handful remain. Singapore Airlines is one of the few reliable options for Western travelers, and less competition means higher fares. Third, insurance costs have spiked. Myanmar has a “Do Not Travel” warning from the US government, so airlines pay extra to cover the risk of flying there. You pay that cost in your ticket price. Finally, longer routes from the US (avoiding Russian airspace) add fuel costs before you even reach Asia.
Popular carriers for this route include Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Thai Airways, though you may need to book separate tickets.
The outlook: Don’t expect cheaper flights anytime soon. Until sanctions ease and more airlines return, prices will likely stay high through 2025 and beyond.

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 US/Canada 24/7, detecting Superdeals with 40–80% discounts. While a typical return flight from North America to Yangon costs $1,100+, with Superdeals you can often grab it for around $425:

Travel hacks and insights
for North America — Myanmar flights
Verified strategies to save money and avoid friction on routes to Myanmar.
Level 4 Advisory limits consular support
The US and Canada maintain “Do Not Travel” advisories for Myanmar. This means consular assistance is extremely limited. The embassy may not be able to assist if you are detained or stranded.
Have a robust evacuation plan that does not rely on government rescue. Ensure your high-risk insurance provider includes security evacuation, not just medical evacuation.
Don Mueang airport switch risks missed flights
AirAsia operates its Yangon flights from Don Mueang Airport (DMK), not the main international hub Suvarnabhumi (BKK) where US flights land. These airports are 45km apart with notorious traffic between them.
The transfer takes 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on gridlock. Never book a connection involving an airport switch in Bangkok with less than a 5-hour buffer. Staying at BKK with Thai Airways or MAI is worth the extra $40 fare difference.
Use Alaska Miles for 50% business class savings
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan offers excellent redemption rates on partner airline Starlux via Taipei. A business class ticket from the West Coast to Taipei-Bangkok costs significantly less in miles than United or Delta dynamic pricing.
Availability is sporadic but valuable. Once in Bangkok, pay cash for the short hop to Yangon. This split method secures lie-flat luxury for the 14-hour ocean crossing while avoiding high cash fares.
Priority Pass saves $40 at BKK transit
If you have a long layover at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) between your transpacific and regional operational legs, Priority Pass (via Chase Sapphire Reserve or Amex Platinum) grants access to the Miracle Lounges.
Showers and hot food are essential after a 15-hour flight. Without the pass, entry costs $35-40. The Miracle Lounge in Concourse D is generally the largest and best-appointed for long stays.
Book flexible tickets for the final leg
Given the volatile political situation, regional flights to Myanmar can be cancelled or rescheduled on short notice. Book the Bangkok-Yangon sector in a flexible fare class if possible.
The price difference is often only $20-30. This flexibility allows you to change dates without penalty if the security situation shifts or if your inbound long-haul flight suffers a major delay.
Return ticket proof is strictly enforced
Airlines check-in agents in Bangkok will deny boarding if you cannot prove an onward flight out of Myanmar. A “bus ticket” or “plans to cross land border” will not be accepted.
You must have a confirmed flight booking leaving Myanmar within the visa period. If your plans are flexible, buy a fully refundable ticket for the exit leg and cancel it after entry.
What travelers ask most
Expert answers on routing, carriers, timing, and fees
Is the mandatory inbound travel insurance still required in late 2025?
Yes, all foreign tourists must purchase Inbound Travel Accident Insurance from Myanma Insurance, even if you have your own global coverage. As of November 2025, checks at immigration counters have intensified, and you will be denied entry without the printed certificate. The policy typically costs $50-75 USD depending on coverage length and age. While your personal insurance (like World Nomads or Allianz) is vital for medical evacuation, the local policy is a bureaucratic entry requirement you simply have to pay. Buy it online 3 days before travel to ensure the PDF arrives in time.
Can I bring a drone into Myanmar?
No, do not bring a drone under any circumstances. Customs officials strictly enforce a ban on unmanned aerial vehicles, and tourists frequently have drones confiscated at the airport upon arrival. Flying a drone near government buildings, pagodas, or military areas can lead to immediate arrest and imprisonment under aviation and privacy laws. If you are transiting through Yangon with a drone for another destination, declare it immediately to customs for bonded storage, though this process is risky and time-consuming.
What is the best hub for flying to Myanmar from North America?
Bangkok (BKK) is the most efficient hub, offering the highest frequency of daily connections to Yangon via Thai Airways, MAI, and Myanmar National Airlines. Singapore (SIN) is a close second, offering excellent premium service on Singapore Airlines, though fares are typically higher. Doha (DOH) and Dubai (DXB) are also good options for East Coast departures, connecting via the Middle East, though total travel time is often longer. Avoid connecting through China (Kunming/Guangzhou) unless you are prepared for potential transit visa complexities and stricter luggage screening.
How far in advance should I book flights to Myanmar?
For the long-haul leg from North America to Asia, book 3-5 months in advance to secure the best economy fares, aiming for the “Goldilocks window” where airlines release discounted inventory. However, for the short regional hop (e.g., Bangkok to Yangon), you can often book 3-4 weeks out without a major price penalty. Be careful booking too far in advance for domestic Myanmar flights, as schedules change frequently; 2-3 weeks prior is usually sufficient and safer for internal travel.
How does Air Traveler Club find cheap flights to Myanmar?
Since there are no direct flights from North America to Myanmar, our AI monitors pricing anomalies to key regional hubs like Bangkok (BKK) and Singapore (SIN). We often find deals dropping fares from $1,400 to $750-850 for the transpacific leg. You then book a separate, short regional hop to Yangon. Our human experts verify these “split-ticket” opportunities to ensure connection times are safe. Members get these alerts instantly via our free newsletter, allowing them to build a trip for 40% less than a standard single-ticket booking.
What are Superdeals and how do they work?
Superdeals are AI-detected pricing errors or limited-time sales that offer 40-80% off standard international airfare. For Southeast Asia routes, this often means flying top-tier carriers like Qatar Airways or ANA for the price of a budget ticket. These deals are time-sensitive, often lasting just 3-7 days before the airline corrects the price. We verify every deal for quality—checking layover times and airline reputation—before sending it to our members. You book directly with the airline, ensuring full ticket protection.
Why are your flight deals cheaper than on Expedia or Kayak?
Search engines like Kayak show you the current market price *right now*, which is often inflated. We monitor the backend fare buckets 24/7 to catch temporary drops caused by algorithm adjustments or new route capacity—like a sudden $600 drop on a New York to Bangkok route. By alerting you the moment these drops happen, you book the same seat on the same plane as everyone else, but at a fraction of the cost. Sign up for our free newsletter to see these deals as they break.
What is the best month to visit Myanmar?
The cool, dry season from November to February is the ideal time to visit, with temperatures ranging from 70-90°F (20-32°C). March to May becomes dangerously hot (100°F+), while the monsoon season from June to October brings heavy rains and higher dengue risk. However, visiting in the “shoulder” months of October or February offers a good balance of manageable weather and fewer crowds at major sites like Bagan.
Nonstop (direct) vs 1-stop
How much do flights from US/Canada to Myanmar cost?
No nonstop service exists between US/Canada and Myanmar. All routings require at least one connection, with total journey times of roughly 20-28 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 customs, security, and gate changes without excessive waiting.
