Why book domestic flights in Myanmar?
Myanmar is large — it’s the largest country in Mainland Southeast Asia, and the 10th largest in Asia by area. The country’s total length, from north to south, is about 1,275 miles, and its width is approximately 580 miles.
Myanmar is mostly a land of villages. It has a few major cities, the most notable being Yangon, Mandalay, and Mawlamyine (Moulmein), but the majority of the population live in much smaller towns and villages, spread across the country. The journey times by road between major cities is tiresome, and many of the country’s smaller towns/villages aren't easily connected by road. Therefore, many locals choose to travel by air.
Furthermore, Myanmar consists of diverse and varied landscapes, including a series of mountain ranges in the North and West of the country, where you’ll find the sources of Asia’s greatest rivers. The Shan Plateau dominates the Eastern half of the country, while the central basin and lowlands is expansive and home to twisting rivers. If you want to travel quickly, doing so by air is definitely the way to go.
