Flights from the UK to Vietnam: what to expect
A flight from the UK to Vietnam is usually a long overnight journey. Nonstop services run on some routes, most often London to Hanoi, while Ho Chi Minh City and the coast are commonly reached with one connection through a major hub in Europe, the Middle East or Asia. Availability changes, so we confirm current options when you enquire.
Best time to find flights to Vietnam
Vietnam has three climate zones, so the "best time" depends on where you are going. Fares follow UK holidays and the Tet New Year period, which falls in January or February.
