FAQs - booking Laos flights

  • Which city should I fly into to access Luang Prabang?

    This is one of Southeast Asia's most charming cities and one of Laos's main attractions. It is a cultural and historical hub, and if you want to visit the city of Luang Prabang, book your flight to Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ). This airport is one of the international airports serving Laos, and it is only 2.5 miles from the city center, with easy transportation options. It is the second busiest airport in Laos, offering many regional and domestic flights.

  • What is the best airport to use if I plan to visit Kuang Si Falls?

    You can fly to LPQ if you plan to visit the cascading Kuang Si Falls. LPQ is the closest airport, approximately 18 miles from the airport, which is served by different airlines, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lao Airlines, and Bangkok Airlines. You can also get a connecting flight from VTE. From the airport, you can take a taxi or private transfer to Kuang Si Falls, about a 45 minutes drive from the airport.

    You will need a valid passport and visa before entering Laos if you are a US citizen. Your passport should have at least six months of validity remaining, and you should have at least two blank pages for the entry and exit stamps at Laos border points. If you are visiting for tourist purposes, you will need a tourist visa which typically lasts 30 days, and tourist visas are available on arrival. You can also get an e-visa by visiting the immigration website before your visit.

  • How do I get to Muang Long from the U.S.?

    The shortest route to Muang Long in northern Laos from the U.S. is flying to Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) in Thailand, approximately 124 miles from the city. You can take flights that connect through Bangkok from one of the major cities in the U.S., then hire a car or take a bus to Muang Long.

  • Which is the best airport to fly to in Laos?

    Wattay International Airport (VTE) is your best bet if you fly to Laos from the US. This is the biggest airport in Laos, serving its capital Vientiane and its environs. The airport is about 2 miles from the city center with easy transportation options from the airport. Based in the capital city, VTE gives you an advantage as you will have easy access to other modes of transportation if you want to explore other smaller towns in Laos. It also serves as the base for Lao Airlines, which offers connections to many domestic and international routes.

  • Which airport is closest to Buddha Park (Xieng Khuan)?

    Buddha Park (Xieng Khuan) is closest to Wattay International Airport, approximately 16 miles south. Multiple transportation options to the park from the airport include a taxi or private car. You can also take a bus from Vientiane city center to the park, a 30-40 minute ride depending on traffic.

  • What are the most common layover cities when flying to Laos?

    There are no nonstop flights from the Us to Laos. However, you will find several single-layover flights on this route, departing from most of the major airports in the US. If you're flying from New York airport (JFK), you will have flights heading into Wattay International Airport (VTE), offered by Korean Air and Lao Airlines, with a layover in Seoul (ICN). If you are flying from Los Angeles (LAX) or Chicago (ORD), the situation is pretty much the same, with the stopover in ICN.

  • What are my best options for flights to Laos from Southeast U.S.?

    If you wish to fly to Laos from Southeast U.S., you’ll find connecting flights departing from Orlando International Airport (MCO), Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), and Tampa International Airport (TPA). Different airlines offer flights with two or more stops to VTE from these airports.

  • Which airport should I fly to visit the northern part of Laos?

    If you will be visiting the northern regions of Laos, the best airport to fly to is Louang Namtha Airport (LXG). It is the main airport serving the biggest city in the north, Louang Namtha. The airport is served by Lao Airlines and Lao Skyway, and it operates regular flights to and from Vientiane.

They are the two airlines that offer most flights on this route, departing from most major airports in the US. Some flights are a collaboration between the two, with others offered by only solo airlines. However, for good rates and more domestic connections in Laos, we recommend flying with Lao Airlines, which has its hub at Wattay International Airport (VTE).

  • Which airports should I fly to if I plan to visit Western Laos?

    If you’re visiting different destinations in Western Laos, you can fly to various airports in the region, including Pakse International Airport (PKZ) and Savannakhet Airport (ZVK). They are served by domestic flights from VTE and airports in neighboring countries like Thailand and Vietnam.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Laos

  • 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.

The friendliness of the attendants, and the quality of the service.

Flight attendants were awesome! Very helpful and patients. Some food were good but maybe not serving fish that kinda make the whole aircraft smell fishy. The “fried pork” was tasty but too much skin so it doesnt taste that great.

Very concerned with guest comforts going out of their way to accommodate special dietary needs when the guests hadn’t pre-ordered.

Clean modern comfortable. Food could have been better, I only ate breakfast I wish they wouldn’t wake sleeping passengers who would rather sleep through dinner. No tea or coffee for breakfast

Food was terrible , uncomfortable seats, WiFi did not work, will never fly Singapore again.

I had ordered vegetarian food. What I was presented was extremely dissatisfying and not up to the mark. I pretty much did not eat entire 19 hours. For.an airline voted as best in business, it was extremely disappointing. Seats were not comfortable to sleep. Entertainment system didn’t have much choice. WiFi didn’t work for more than half the time. Cabin crew were also difficult to understand. A bit of diversity like Emirates crew would go a long way.

A little more room from the reclining seat in the front of me.

It was okay. I feel that Singapore Airlines isn't as good as it used to be but it's still not bad

They ran out of the second choice of food was stuck with fish

I wish there was a little more leg room between the seats. The recline was good and seats overall were comfortable. I also didn’t like the 2-4-2 configuration.

I thought I already provided this feedback. 12 hours with no wifi is unacceptable. Lay flat is nice but a bit cramped.

The vietnam airlines app was not able to allow checkin with the confirmation nor with the ticket number. This led to quite a bit of consternation. Speaking with a colleague from Hanoi, he did tell me that their app is not the best. It may be best to inform travelers to only use the link and to plan on checking in at the airport for this airline. The check-in was very easy and the staff were excellent.

flight departure was late, with no updates on status of departure

The aircraft was little tired but the food and service was outstanding

It was ok, it felt more like an internal flight than an international flight so I guess expected a slightly better standard. Nothing really wrong with it but there was no inflight entertainment. Food and service was good.

This was our fourth domestic flight with Vietnam Airlines, and once again we found the experience very suitable. Check-in was easy and efficient. They did take our carry-on luggage, but that was fine. I’m actually happy not to deal with it on such a short flight. The flight was just over an hour, departed on time, and we climbed above the clouds into a beautiful sunset. Even on such a short flight, they served water, which we appreciated. Luggage came out into carousel in Nha Trang in good time and off we went to meet our GRAB. Also, Vietnam Airlines have easy to locate ground level offices in cities and towns where you can get assistance with staff. I liked this service as we did go visit one in Nha Trang. We would definitely recommend Vietnam Airlines and wouldn’t hesitate to fly with them again.

Really good 👍 This was our first time flying with Vietnam Airlines. It was a short domestic flight, so no meal service, but boarding was organized and the flight departed and arrived on schedule. The flight attendants were professional and neatly presented. All in all, a very good first experience. We would recommend Vietnam Airlines.

We flew with their partner VESCO on a small plane, it was a really good flight. There was no food or entertainment as it’s a one hour hopper flight.

The flight boarded and departed pretty much on time as it’s just a one hour flight there is no food or entertainment so I marked that at the neutral but they do offer water and I’m sure if you needed some food you could bring your own onboard. This was our third internal flight with Vietnam Airways and I recommend them.

This is a very short commuter flight, so there is no food or flight entertainment. Hence, I marked it in the neutral flight left on time. The plane was full pretty much and it was a pretty easy flight overall very good.

Poor seats. Not helpful crew. The food was awful.overall very very bad experience. Traveled with the family of 5

did not get a notification about seat selection ahead of time. We didn't end up sitting together.

I was denied boarding at the Brisbane airport and it seems like I won’t get any refunds from the airline

In my return flight they couldn’t identify my ticket or boarding pass, I had to go to 3 different counters until I was able to get my boarding pass. The food was on, it was the bear minimum. They didn’t even recognise that I was a Muslim and can’t eat meat, chicken or pork. In one of the trays I believe they served me pork. The staff were very pleasant, but they need to be aware of their surroundings more carefully, one of them stuck her lower belly right into my face! I was shocked and very uncomfortable.

Overall I had good experience with China Southern airline. Nothing to claim. I hoped they could improve the meal quality that is.

Wow very impressed by the quality and attentiveness of service of China Southern. Lived the blankets! Will definitely fly with them again. Despite language barriers, a few attendants know enough English to understand our rudimentary Mandarin and respond to basic questions. Although they don’t explain the beverage and meal service on the website or ticketing documents, they offered regular beverage cart and snacks during the beginning hours and end hours of the long, transoceanic flight. A full meal at the beginning and end of the flight as well, and a midflight small sandwich (dinner roll sized) but we weren’t hungry and didn’t try that one. The expectation is that every sleeps during the middle of the flight. We were on a “redeye” departure from LAX with a morning arrival in China, so I don’t know if this service pattern is the same for other flights. The domestic flight we took from Guangzhou to Harbin offered conventional refreshments and meals like a US flight service. Note that they didn’t offer diet sodas. If you like to stay hydrated, I recommend bringing plenty of your own. It is served in small cups like any other drink. You can ask for a bottle but they’re tiny - about 6 ounces.

China Southern was not the problem. I booked my flight through Kayak and also received a booking reference and alert details regarding departure time and gate numbers… however Kayak NEVER actually booked my flight! We were stranded at the airport without a flight for a long awaited holiday!

The connection between LA and Atlanta was too much stress

Terrible boarding experience,,food is very poor that I I . Never going book this airline again.

The crew were kind, patient and responsive. The service was excellent, even though we travelled the cheapest economy class. We arrived at our destination 40 min early, which for a 15+ hour flight is a great bonus. The boarding seemed a bit "loose", but got us boarded on time, and the plane was off exactly @ 0:30 hrs.

Really good food and service. Qatar Airways is again and again provided an exceptional experience.

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

When we checked in at the Siem Reap Airport in Cambodia, we were only given three boarding passes and told that we would have to check in with American when we arrived in Boston. This was a source of stress for us. After we landed in Boston, we had a long passage from Terminal E to Terminal B (American Airline ticketing counter). Because the electronic ticketing kiosks for check-in would not recognize our Confirmation Code, we had to wait for an hour in a long line where only two AA reps were taking care of Special Services passengers. In many years of both business and recreational travel, I have never had this experience. I would expect more from AA being in partnership with other airlines to do a better job with this.

Our experience on the Doha to Hyderabad segment was extremely stressful due to prolonged delays and a lack of clear communication from the airline. We were traveling as a family, including children, and the uncertainty around timing and next steps caused significant distress. There was very little proactive information provided during the delay, and we were not given clear written explanations about what was happening or how long it might take. This made it difficult to manage the situation, especially while caring for children in a transit environment. In addition, one member of our party was ultimately unable to continue travel, which added to the emotional strain and disruption of the trip. Overall, the experience highlighted gaps in communication, customer care, and handling of unexpected situations. We are sharing this feedback so that future passengers, especially families, are supported with clearer communication and better assistance during irregular operations.

The seat cushions are absolutely lacking, not sure if they know the passengers are traveling for 14 hours straight, but the padding made our back and butt ache like crazy. The entertainment console had its own problems, either the headphone jack wasn't working or the power outlet via usb or ac outlet was not working. Not to mention the seat handles were not adjustable in some planes in the middle or on the aisle. Qatar/Indigo may be operating a very old fleet of planes to make as much profit as possible, but passengers may not be following them for long, should this treatment of its customers continue. Qatar/Indigo, wake up and do it right by your customers, or they may not be your customers anymore.

It would help id flight crew were not rude and showed some courtesy. They were shouting at passengers and yelling instructions as if we were school children at lunch cafeteria!!

All good. Over four hours flight if provided snacks like Qatar Airways would be better

Lobster starter in business class was not good, tough, served cold, and without butter. Movie selection was missing latest releases, did not offer older classic, high quality movies

Food was absolutely pathetic. I wasted so much food which I thought was inedible. I also loathe the inflight entertainment system which has very little content

My entire row did not have power for the full duration of a 14.5 hour flight. Could not charge any devices such as laptop or phones for the entirety of the long flight. The flight attendants tried to remedy the issue by resetting the power, but were not successful. The only other solution provided was to move me to another seat on the plane which was in the middle row. I had paid for a “preferred” seat that was a window seat. This was a downgrade being offered due to the power issue.

This was my first time ever flying China Eatern and it will not be my last. I was very satisfied with my whole experience and trip. Thank you very much and until soon.

It was just fine. The sirlines did live up fully to my expectation.

The flight was delayed. The staff made us wait in the room that is too small and it was crowded and with no seats available for waiting. They did not tell us why the delay occurred.

While boarding at PVG, there was a ticket checking at the gate, then there was another ticket checking at the bottom of the escalator, which created quite a dangerous congestion. Not sure which idiot made this absolutely unnecessary arrangement.

While boarding at PVG, there was a ticket checking by the gate, then there was another ticket checking right at the bottom of the escalator, which created quite a dangerous congestion. Don't understand why the duplication?

I was traveling alone with an infant, so the crew was incredibly helpful. Both the international and subsequent domestic flights were impeccable.

Plane was good. But food was bad and air host was so rude. I will never fly with China Eastern again

The flight was delayed by 2 hours, although to their credit they delayed my connecting flight so people could reach it. Also their site is a nightmare to navigate on a phone. Everything else was good.

The ticket was last minute buy so no concerns about the pricing this time, but the crew in general could have been more accommodating, helpful.

CTU-KMG-CNX with 1.5 hr connection at KMG. Doable but just barely bc immigration exit from China is at the last flight leg, here: KMG to CNX. We hauled out of the domestic terminal to reenter at the international departures (luggage checked thru to CNX thankfully). Immigration had only two agents, even though KMG gets a HUGE number of foreigners. It took forever for such a shot line. Then security also took a while, so I just just made the connection. Recommend if you exit China with domestic international transfer, plan for 2+ hrs to avoid a heart attack. Airline personnel don’t suffer if you miss the flight, you do. Plan accordingly.
