Cheap Flights to Vietnam
Cheap flights to Vietnam land at several very different gateways, and the one you choose shapes the trip. Hanoi is the capital and the natural start for the north. Ho Chi Minh City is the other main entry point, and most people pair it with the south. Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Hue, Haiphong, Can Tho and Phan Thiet each suit a different kind of stay, from short city breaks to long stretches on the coast. Compare fares across all of them before you book.

Gateways
Hanoi is the capital, so it suits anyone who wants the country's political and cultural heart first. Ho Chi Minh City is the business hub and the usual start for a southern trip. Da Nang and Hue cover the centre, and both work if you plan to move around rather than stay in one place. Nha Trang, Phu Quoc and Phan Thiet are the beach choices. Haiphong and Can Tho are quieter, and they reward travellers who want a slower arrival.

When to go
The cities on this list run from north to south, so they do not all share one season. Check the weather for the region you are flying into, not just for the country as a whole. Fares are busiest when everyone travels at once, around the big holidays and the turn of the year. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures and the shoulder weeks either side of a peak often sit lower on the price calendar. Flying into Da Nang, Hue or Can Tho instead of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City can change the fare you see.
