There are 2 ways to travel from Yangon to Myanmar’s new capital, Nay Pyi Taw. You can either travel by car, which is approximately a 4 hours ride or travel by air via its domestic airline Myanma Airways which will take approximately 1 hour.
For me, I took the domestic airline at departed at 6am (local time). It was definitely an experience. It was a propeller plane and in my opinion, not very well maintained. Its also the first time when I can actually see the cockpit of the plane. The experience was like that of traveling via budget airline. The plane did not descend gradually, it was more like an experience on a roller coaster, it just went straight down.
Over at Nay Pyi Taw, we arrived at Nay Pyi Taw International Airport which was not fully operational. There were aero bridges and baggage belts, but they were not in use.
Based on what I understand, the airport should open within the next 6 months.
