Cheap flights London to Phu Quoc

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar covers September through May, so you can line your dates up with the cheaper weeks instead of guessing. Demand from the UK peaks around the Christmas and New Year break and again in the British school holidays, and Vietnamese public holidays such as Tet can tighten seats on the Asian legs. Midweek departures from Heathrow or Gatwick tend to price lower than weekend ones, and a longer connection often costs less than a tight one. If your dates are flexible, pick the month first and the day of the week second.

Ten airlines appear on this route, and none of them fly it non-stop. On the full-service side you have British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Vietnam Airlines and China Eastern Airlines; Norse Atlantic UK LTD is the low-cost option. Your choice decides where you change planes: the Gulf carriers and Turkish Airlines connect through their own hubs, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific through Asia, and the European carriers through their home cities. Fares differ in what they include, so compare the total with bags and meals rather than the headline fare.

Phu Quoc has one airport, Duong Dang, and every connection from London lands there. It sits on the island itself, so you reach your hotel base soon after clearing arrivals rather than facing a ferry or a long road transfer. Taxis, ride-hailing apps and hotel shuttles are the usual ways into the main resort areas; agree the fare or check the meter before you set off, and confirm whether your hotel runs a pickup, because some do and some do not. Immigration can take a while when several wide-body flights land together, so keep your onward booking and your entry documents to hand. Check the current entry rules for Vietnam before you fly, since they change.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you are leaving from, since Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City all serve this route and the cheapest fare is rarely the most convenient one.
• See whether bags and meals are included, especially on the low-cost long-haul fare, and add the extras before you compare.
• Look at the connection time and whether both legs sit on one ticket, because separate tickets leave you carrying the risk of a missed onward flight.
• Confirm Vietnam's entry rules for your passport and check you have enough validity left before you book.
• Compare February with the rest of the calendar, and book early if your dates land on UK school holidays or Vietnamese public holidays.
