Peak season:

Generally speaking, Vietnam doesn’t have an off season as far as tourism is concerned, and cheap flights can be found throughout the year. Keep in mind that most tourists tend to visit Vietnam during the summer months, which runs from November through April. This might mean that you’ll have to book flight tickets to Vietnam well in advance if you plan on traveling here during the peak tourism season.

Off season:

May through October is a season where Vietnam is on the receiving end of rainy weather, which might see tourist crowds thinning out and flight prices reduced slightly, although to be fair, Vietnam is a budget-friendly destination overall, and you’ll probably never end up paying a fortune for flights or accommodation.

I like the polite and friendly air crew. Boarding from the aircrew was fine and orderly, however the Changi gate staff were disorderly and chaotic. I found the economy seating was way too small for a full service airline. It seems about the same size now as the budget carriers and I’m not sure if the value for money is there anymore. The saving grace with that is the generous baggage allowance. Our Singapore Darwin leg was on a 737-800, a small plane for an almost 5 hour journey. As was the case on our Darwin Singapore leg, the flight was full. So it was quite hot and unpleasant for the hour extra we had to wait on the runway before we actually took off. Total time in that cramped seat was close to 6hrs and no way of sleeping even with the fatigue of our 12.5hr Munich Singapore flight preceding it. I love Singapore Airlines and value our sole full service direct connection from Darwin, but we paid a lot of money for the cheap seats and it appears that the airline has slipped since we last flew with them in 2019.

What is good to know if travelling to Vietnam?

  • The Old Town of Hoi An is a UNESCO-listed town, which is not only a stunning little town to see but also the perfect place to get yourself a tailor-made outfit put together.
  • If you’re trying to escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, Sa Pa is a great day trip destination, located 400 kilometers north of the city. Sa Pa’s locals are friendly and offer you a glimpse into authentic Vietnamese culture, but you can also pay a visit to the Bac Ha market on Sundays, which will submerge you into the culture of the Flowery H’mong ethnic minority people.
  • If you’re keen on doing some swimming and snorkeling, the Con Dao Islands come highly recommended. In fact, they are prone to become Vietnam’s biggest diving center!
  • Hanoi is the perfect place to admire the French colonial and Eastern history of Vietnam. You can spend an afternoon exploring the streets of Hanoi as you wander through the Old Quarter. Bear in mind traffic in Hanoi is generally pretty crowded though! However, there are great opportunities to head out to see the abundance of temples and galleries that can be found within the city.
  • In order to get a broad-spectrum view of the Vietnamese provinces, you can opt to take a tour of the Mekong Delta, a 60, 000km long web of interconnecting waterways, spanning across Vietnam’s three provinces. This is one of the best ways to experience Delta life, and you’ll be fascinated by the little craft villages, mangroves, orchards, floating markets, and the Khmer Pagodas along the route.
  • If you’re looking to experience a more relaxed vibe, then stop and chill out in Hue, a village often passed by along the Vietnam tourist trail. The area is beautiful and includes must-see sites with the likes of the Perfume River and the Imperial Citadel, not even mentioning the captivating experience to be had at the Tombs of the Emperors!

  • How do you get from the airport to the city center?

    Hanoi There are two buses which depart to the city center on a regular schedule from the Hanoi airport, but you can also hop on a taxi if you don’t want to wait around for the next bus to arrive. Keep in mind that taxis are a lot more expensive than the bus, and a fixed fee should be agreed on before you accept the transfer services from a taxi operator. Ho Chi Minh City One of the easiest and most affordable ways to get from the Ho Chi Minh City airport to the city center is by taking a bus. Alternatively, visitors can also take a taxi to the city center, but they are considerably more expensive than the bus services, albeit they are one of your most comfortable options.
