Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Guwahati and Yangon. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Guwahati to Yangon for business, cultural exchange, and to visit family. Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, offers a mix of historical sites, bustling markets, and serene pagodas. Expect a vibrant atmosphere blending Burmese and colonial influences.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Yangon is during the dry season, from November to February. The weather is cooler and less humid during these months, making it more comfortable to explore the city. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September due to heavy rainfall.

Getting from the airport to Yangon

Yangon International Airport (RGN) is about 15 km from the city center. Taxis are readily available and cost around 15,000 to 20,000 Kyat. Airport buses are a cheaper option, costing around 500 Kyat, but take longer.

Food to try

Local tips

Bargain respectfully when shopping at markets. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, covering shoulders and knees. Carry small denominations of Myanmar Kyat for easy transactions, as smaller vendors may not accept large bills.
