Cheap flights from London to Da Nang

May is the cheapest month to fly from London to Da Nang, and it's the month to aim for if your dates are flexible. Fares are listed for every month of the year, so the price calendar shows how far May sits below the summer and year-end peaks. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and weekend ones, and Tuesday and Wednesday flights are usually the quietest. Book a few months ahead for the summer school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period, when seats fill early and connections through Asia get tight. If you can travel outside those windows, spring and early autumn give you the same route with more choice of airlines.

No airline flies London to Da Nang non-stop, so every option is a connecting itinerary. AirAsia X is the low-cost long-haul name on the list, and its fares usually cover the seat only, with bags and meals added later. The rest are full-service carriers: Cathay Pacific and China Airlines through East Asia, Air China and China Eastern through mainland China, Etihad through the Gulf, and Air France with its regional partner Air Dolomiti through Europe. Air Astana and LOT Polish Airlines complete the list of full-service options. Full-service tickets normally include a checked bag and a meal; with the low-cost option you build the fare yourself.

Da Nang has a single airport, so wherever you change planes, the last leg ends at Da Nang International. It sits on the edge of the city itself, close to the beach strip and a short ride from the centre, which makes the transfer simple after a long journey. Taxis and ride-hailing apps meet the arrivals hall, and most hotels will arrange a pickup if you ask ahead. Have your onward address ready for the driver, and keep some local currency handy for the ride. If your connection lands late at night, book the transfer before you fly, since options thin out after the last flights. Check Vietnam's entry requirements well before departure, as they depend on your passport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you leave from, since Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City all serve this route.
• Check whether a checked bag is included, especially on the low-cost leg.
• Make sure both legs sit on one ticket, or leave a long buffer if you book them separately.
• Confirm your entry documents for Vietnam before you pay.
• Compare May against the months either side on the price calendar.
• Look at the layover airport, because some connections are long enough to need a hotel.
