Domestic and internal flights in Vietnam

Vietnam's long, narrow shape, from the Red River Delta in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, makes domestic flying the fastest way to cross the country. Airlines flying within Vietnam include Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air and Bamboo Airways, with high-frequency services between the northern, central and southern hubs. Most travellers fly domestic to cross between Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City in hours rather than days or to reach the coastal resorts and islands. If you’re flexible, our travel hacks show how small changes, mid-week dates, alternative airports, off-peak hours, often reveal noticeably cheaper domestic fares.

The cheapest domestic flights in Vietnam usually come from flying mid-week where possible, avoiding peak holiday periods, and being open to alternative airports, flying into Hanoi or Da Nang can drop the fare on similar journeys.
