Booking information
The lowest prices were found with Gotogate through Aviasales. The displayed fare was shown as both non-refundable and non-exchangeable, so it is best suited to travellers who are confident about their dates.
It is also worth entering the same dates directly on the Vietnam Airlines website. When the difference is relatively small, airline-direct booking may provide simpler assistance if the schedule changes or the journey is disrupted.

The five searches were priced at approximately €697–€714 when checked. Each link opens the selected itinerary on Aviasales; choose the Vietnam Airlines routing and verify the seller, final amount and baggage before paying.
Important connection information
The reference itinerary has a 4-hour 35-minute outbound connection in Hanoi during the early morning. The flight reaches Hanoi at approximately 04:45 and continues to Vientiane at 09:20.
The wait is long enough to be tiring but too short to make a hotel stay practical, so travellers should expect to remain inside the airport. The return connection is shorter at approximately three hours and fifteen minutes.
Why this deal stands out
A return price near €697 is attractive for travelling from Milan to a less commonly discounted Southeast Asian destination.
The strongest advantages are:
- Only one connection in each direction
- Vietnam Airlines throughout
- 23 kg checked baggage included
- 8 kg cabin baggage included
- Reasonable overall journey times
- Five options across several travel months
- Stays ranging from nine to twenty nights
The main compromises are the overnight Hanoi connection, restrictive lowest-fare conditions and third-party booking at the cheapest price.
Where to stay in Vientiane
Vientiane offers very good accommodation value. Well-rated four-star hotels can start from around €30 per room per night, while attractive five-star properties may be available from approximately €60–€80 on selected dates.
Useful areas include:
- Central Vientiane: best overall for first-time visitors, restaurants and major sights
- Mekong riverfront: ideal for sunset walks, the night market and evening atmosphere
- That Luang and Nongbone: quieter areas near important monuments
- Sisattanak: a more residential base with cafés, restaurants and apartments
Two nights are enough for a quick introduction, but three nights are better after the long journey from Europe. This gives travellers a relaxed arrival day, one complete sightseeing day and time to organise onward travel.

Suggested Laos itinerary
Nine-night trip
Vientiane: three nights → Vang Vieng: two nights → Luang Prabang: four nights
This provides a good introduction without spending too much of the trip moving between destinations.
Thirteen- to seventeen-night trip
Vientiane: three nights → Vang Vieng: three nights → Luang Prabang: four nights → Nong Khiaw: two or three nights → remaining nights in Vientiane or Luang Prabang Twenty-night trip. The longest option also allows time for southern Laos, including Pakse, the Bolaven Plateau and Si Phan Don, although combining northern and southern Laos adds longer travel days.
Excursions and activities in Laos
Vientiane offers temples, monuments, local markets, cafés and sunset walks along the Mekong. Popular places include Patuxai, Pha That Luang, the central temples and the evening riverfront market.
Beyond the capital, travellers can explore the limestone landscapes and lagoons around Vang Vieng, the temples and waterfalls of Luang Prabang, and the quieter mountain scenery surrounding Nong Khiaw.
