How to travel from Siem Reap airport directly to Angkor Wat, with ticket, luggage and timing considerations.
Direct is possible, but not always smart
Going straight to Angkor can work with a tight schedule, but luggage, ticketing and fatigue need a plan.
Luggage
Do not assume you can comfortably carry bags through a temple day. Arrange hotel drop off or secure storage first.
Tickets
Have your Angkor pass sorted before building a direct airport to temple itinerary.
Timing
A late morning arrival may leave less useful temple time than the map suggests.
What I would do
Unless time is extremely tight, I would check in first and start Angkor fresh.
