Top tips for finding cheap flights to Laos

  • Book at least 3 weeks before departure in order to get a below-average price.
  • High season is considered to be March, April and May. The cheapest month to fly from the United States is September.
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Laos flight deals.
  • Wattay International Airport (VTE) and Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ) are the two main airports serving international flights from the US. However, most flights head into VTE first before LPQ, meaning all US-LPQ flights have at least two stopovers.
  • There are limited dining options at Wattay International Airport (VTE) for travelers who want to grab a bite or drink after a long flight to Laos. You’ll find a buffet-style restaurant and a café on the 3rd Floor.
  • Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ) is a secondary hub for Lao Airlines. The airport serves as a regional hub for flights to neighboring Thailand and cities such as Vientiane and Phongsali.
  • Travelers from South Central U.S. can find connecting flights to Laos at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas. Multiple airlines offer flights with two or more stops from this departure point.
  • If you are flying from the west coast to Laos, consider booking your flight from Los Angeles International (LAX). It is a better option than SFO, as it offers regular single-layover flights to VTE.
  • Looking for a place to relax after a long flight to Laos? You can check into the Business Lounge in the main Terminal at VTE. Those flying through Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ) can relax at the Bangkok Airways Lounge. These lounges are accessible to all if you purchase a day pass. You’ll find comfortable spaces, free Wi-Fi, and different cuisines.
  • Passengers on the east coast only have one sure bet for flights to Laos, New York Airport (JFK). JFK offers daily flights to Laos, offered by the three major airlines plying this route: Asiana Airlines, Korean Air, and Lao Airlines.
  • If you will be flying from the central US, the best airport to fly from is Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW). From DFW, you can get one-stop flights from the US to Laos, heading into VTE. These flights are offered by a partnership between Korean Air and Lao Airlines.
  • If you will be heading into southern Laos, the best airport to fly into is Savannakhet Airport (ZVK). It is an international airport serving the city of Savannakhet, and it is served by Lao Airlines. You will get regular flights from VTE, and to Bangkok and the neighboring Pakse Airport.
  • There are no US carriers that offer flights to Laos direct. If you want to fly with a US carrier, the flight will include at least two stopovers, one in the US and another in Asia, most probably ICN.

Pros: "Well organized loading, courteous staff, great vegetarian food provided, liked the real metal silverware and glass wine glass on the SEA>ICN route."
Cons: "My usb charger connection was too loose to charge"
Pros: "The crew were superb and the bathrooms were regularly cleant"
Pros: "Very friendly staff with excellent service. Bottled water in every seat upon boarding. Lots of leg room, and love the outer earphones they provide!"
Cons: "More movie selections"
Pros: "As always Korean Air’s attention to detail is outstanding and impressive."
Cons: "Though I appreciate the consideration given to tall passengers (trying to find us an aisle seat with an empty seat beside, after boarding, for instance), I think there is more that could be done during the check-in process to seat tall passengers into emergency exits or other seats with more legroom"
Pros: "Service, entertainment, and seats are all great."
Cons: "Korean airlines could use air nodules for their seats as both flights became very hot towards the end."
Pros: "Service was great and flight landed safe. Korean food was delicious."
Pros: "Flight, weather, crew interaction was all great."
Cons: "They dont give us socks for our feet or tooth brushes or mints or anything. One small bottle of water for a 15 hour flight doesnt cut it, sorry! This is one CHEAP AIRLINE!"
Pros: "Unlike flights in the US, they provided pillows, blankets, slippers, a water bottle and headphones in your seat before you boarded at no extra charge. They were very organized, efficient and quick about boarding."
Cons: "My seat was chosen for me. However, leg room was excellent even in the least expensive seats."
Cons: "Short haul flight have got cramped seating. Entertainment offering is a bit little. Amenity packs are too basic: just contained flight paper sandals and toothbrush+toothpaste."
Pros: "Cleanliness, super efficient, helpful, competent, gracious crew - among the very best in the world of airlines! Politeness and smiling courtesy defines KAL. The spacious seats are best for six footers like me - legroom wise."
Cons: "It used to be my and my wife’s favorite airline. But the warm and dry air in the cabin dry our throats and nasal cavities and make travel so uncomfortable! My wife suffered twice with coughs and respiratory illness. I’m traveling by myself in this trip. She avoids KAL. Food is sparse and ordinary unlike before."

The flight was close to on time. My suitcase was not loaded in Bangkok and was delivered 24 hours later.

Seating wasn’t good at all with not much leg space in between. Fortunately it was a relatively short flight. Otherwise we would have struggled a lot. On board meal was pretty ordinary. It is sad to see the overall quality of this once superb airline has dropped so low.

The food provided was not as good in the previous trips!

Pros: "The crew is always amazing: highly professional, attentive and friendly. The whole experience with Singapore Airlines is always a treat."
Cons: "In flight food service by cabin crew was spotty, sometimes they gave you coffee with dinner , sometime not, they are very forgetful. Please improve on this issue."
Pros: "crew handled the tough crowd well, but were not extremely hospitable"
Cons: "food was disgusting"
Pros: "Crew , announcements were restful , not loud and blasting like some airlines"
Cons: "Nothing Singapore Airline is Super Lufthansa food lousy , late leaving Kuala Lumpur, missed our connection assigned to a later flight, running to catch rescheduled time and changed gate."
Cons: "The layover in Singapore was a nightmare with insufficient hotel accommodation, nothing but Asian food and overly officious security staff."
Cons: "We ask for wheelchair help from Perth to brooome but it was not provided ."
Pros: "The inflight entertainment was great, lots of movie selections"
Cons: "The leg room was horrible. Honestly the worst space I've ever had in a flight. I was shocked considering Singapore air is considered one of the best airlines"

Never got the chance to get on the plane as my inbound flight was delayed and the staff of qatar airways denied any help or support

Seat electronics kept failing (as in absolutely nothing worked) - crew re-set it multiple, but didn’t move me until finally three quarters of the way into the flight - abysmal. Entertainment options are plentiful, but a number of expected movies were missing (did an SQ flight 3 days later and expected titles were on SQ) - does Qatar sensor what they show?

Pros: "The “mini-refrigerator” for beverage storage at the business class seat."
Cons: "The portion of the Arabic language expression on the live flight mapping software should have been minimized."
Pros: "The crew is always very professional."
Cons: "The inflight entertainment was down for 2/3 of the people flying. And it was a 14 hour flight... :/"
Pros: "The A330, despite being an old plane, had really good recline."
Cons: "The entertainment was very outdated."
Pros: "Houston check in counters need to be added."
Cons: "Doha airport indian staff is rude to many passengers during their hand carry check. Too little space there. No organization."
Cons: "Crew members are waking up for lunch and breakfast but not for snacks and other beverages. We are feeling hungry later. we aren't knowing when they ll provide."
Pros: "The layover was hell. They put me in a warehouse with wooden benches for beds. Never again"
Cons: "Horrible service. The US part of the journey was fine but the rest was aweful."
Pros: "The leg room was huge, the food was excellent and a lot and the customer service was great not my first time to fly with Qatar and it won’t be my last, the made my trip worthwhile. Thank you"
Cons: "No complaints so far so good"
Pros: "Fabulous crew, good choice of food and drinks and served whenever you want it. Good array of entertainment on offer but our flight was a 'sleeper' so after a fumble with the controls and the limited new releases, I opted to read instead. Seats are comfy and spacious, much wider than Emirates in the same class (who offer only an extra 1/2 inch width over economy). Amenity kit a quality piece that is both practical and useful."
Cons: "Crew seemed to have stopped referring to the passengers by name and offer a less-personalised service in Business than we have become accustomed to. The food choices while good, have been paired back as have the selection of wines."
Pros: "Dated entertainment on the inside televisions and some of the headphones and movies were hard to understand because of the audio quality. But the bottom line was I couldn’t find a cheaper flight for my trip and overall I look for savings and my airfare."
Cons: "Customer service from the flight crew was pretty dry, my biggest complaint though was that there was very much stagnant air quality and no ventilation at HC location like I am normally a custom on most other planes."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Add more entertainment. Add more food, keep the restrooms clean."
Pros: "Crew were great and very attentive. Very much improved from experience 8 years ago and given the service, comfort and value would definitely repeat."
Cons: "Completely satisfied"
Pros: "Everything was normal, nothing amazing"
Cons: "Food, the didn’t have vegetarian options and everything was in chinese"
Pros: "Tickets were super cheap."
Cons: "Transfer at Nanjing is horrible. There is no transfer hall so connecting passengers have their passports confiscated and are locked in a room like criminals for HOURS. People were crying, others did not understand what was happening and they were panicking. It was a truly awful experience!"
Pros: "Crew was very helpful with boarding and very friendly and hard-working."
Cons: "Entertainment system kept resetting duing the first couple of hours during the flight but otherwise was good."
Pros: "It was a better experience (no screen that turns off and on by itself, no lopsided tray table) than my outbound flights, so kudos for that. The crew was very pleasant."
Cons: "Food/snacks. I know people usually complain about airplane food, but I am not a picky eater and usually eat whatever is provided. I ended up picking at what was served. Perhaps I’m just not used to the selection since I usually fly American planes."
Pros: "Wonderful service. Comfortable flight. Boarded on time. Food was good and entertainment was good"
Pros: "I got the seat all the way in the back i prefer those because it sits 2 and you are only sitting next to one person. Tv had more than 2 dozen movies options and several games to choose from. They provided a pillow and blanket along with headphones for tv. Crew was very friendly."
Cons: "Food, but its airplane food and can not except to much unless your sitting first class."
Cons: "Had to take buses on and off the planes in Shanghai. Added at least 20 minutes each way to the process and it was very uncomfortable to be squeezed in a bus waiting to get “full”"
