Cheap flights from London to Nha Trang

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to aim for if your dates are open. Fares also appear for October, November, December, January, February, March and May, so autumn, winter and early spring all give you something to compare. The London end gets busy around the Christmas break and the school holidays, which is when seats go first, so book earlier for those weeks. Midweek departures are worth checking against weekend ones, and a Tuesday or Wednesday flight out of Heathrow or Gatwick is often the quieter choice.

Every itinerary here connects, because no airline flies London to Nha Trang non-stop. The names you will see are Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, British Airways, Vietnam Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air Astana, Air Dolomiti, Norse Atlantic UK LTD and Hahn Air. Vietnam Airlines and British Airways are the familiar full-service carriers, Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways route you through their Gulf hubs, and Norse Atlantic UK LTD is the low-cost long-haul name on the list. What is included differs from one ticket to the next, so check baggage, seat selection and meals before you choose.

Cam Ranh is the airport that serves Nha Trang, and it sits outside the city, so the last leg of the trip is a road transfer rather than a taxi rank at the terminal door. Shared shuttles, private transfers and metered taxis all run into town, and plenty of hotels arrange a pickup if you ask when you book. Agree the fare before you get in, or insist on the meter, and have your hotel address written in Vietnamese for the driver. After a long connection, leave time to land, collect your bags and clear immigration before you set off.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are nowhere near each other.
• Confirm what baggage is included, since a long-haul connection is not the same on every ticket.
• If you book the legs separately, make sure the gap leaves room to clear immigration and re-check your bags.
• Check passport validity and Vietnam entry requirements well before departure.
• Look at the price calendar first, because September is the cheapest month and the surrounding ones vary.
• Set aside money and time for the road transfer from Cam Ranh into Nha Trang.
