Quick answer
Is it easier to fly nonstop to Hanoi than to Ho Chi Minh City?
On frequency, yes. Vietnam Airlines publishes four weekly nonstops from Heathrow to Hanoi — Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday — against two a week to Ho Chi Minh City. Twice the departures for the northern arrival.
The airline publishes Heathrow to Ho Chi Minh City at 12 hours 30 and Heathrow to Hanoi at about 11 hours 45, so the northern route is both more frequent and marginally shorter.
Frequencies are the airline's published pattern and change. Our guide fare is £1,810 return from London (LON), checked.
If your Vietnam trip could start in either city, the Hanoi nonstop is the easier one to plan around. If it has to be the south, expect a connection on many dates.

Vietnam has two international gateways and the UK nonstop is not evenly split between them. If your itinerary could begin in either city, that imbalance is the most useful thing.
Two a week south, four a week north
Vietnam Airlines publishes direct flights from London Heathrow to Tan Son Nhat International (SGN) at a frequency of two flights a week, with a journey time of 12 hours 30. It publishes Heathrow to Hanoi at four times a week — Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday — at about 11 hours 45.
So the northern arrival has twice the nonstop departures and a marginally shorter sector. That does not make Hanoi the right arrival — it makes it the easier one to build a trip around, which is a different thing.
A great many Vietnam itineraries run the length of the country in one direction. If yours does, an open-jaw ticket — into one city, out of the other — is usually better than a return to either, and it removes the frequency problem entirely. Tell us the direction you want to travel.
On two flights a week, the connection is the normal case
Two departures a week means most dates do not have a nonstop. That is not a fare problem and no amount of budget solves it: if your dates do not coincide with the published days, the itinerary connects — usually through a Gulf or Asian hub, with the lie-flat cabin on the long sector and a shorter second leg into Ho Chi Minh City.
So the sequence that works on this route is: give us the dates you can travel, and we will tell you whether the nonstop is available before we talk about price. Asking it the other way round wastes a conversation.
The fare here is for UK departures
Worth stating plainly, because it is a common point of confusion. We sell UK-origin tickets. The fares here are London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle into Ho Chi Minh City.
Searches for flights out of Ho Chi Minh City to other countries — and there are many — are not what the fare here is for and not something we can help with. If you are starting in Vietnam rather than Britain, we are the wrong firm, and saying so saves you an email.
Tan Son Nhat (SGN) and the city it serves
The fare prices to Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), unusually close to the centre of Ho Chi Minh City — close enough that the transfer is short by the standards of a city of its size, which is worth knowing when you are planning an arrival day after twelve and a half hours in the air.
Our lowest current indicative business class guide fare is £1,810 return from London (LON), checked, with first class indicatively from £3,425. Dated starting prices; your exact fare is confirmed on your quote.
Before you fix your Vietnam dates
- Check the published nonstop days before anything else — two a week is the constraint here.
- Ask about an open-jaw into one city and out of the other if you are travelling the length of the country.
- If your dates do not suit the nonstop, ask which hub a connecting itinerary uses and what cabin each sector carries.
- Confirm the arrival is SGN and not Hanoi with an internal flight attached.
- Check entry requirements with official sources — that is not something we advise on.
Ho Chi Minh City is the southern Vietnamese arrival. Our guide to business class across Asia compares it with the rest of the region.

How often is the nonstop from London to Ho Chi Minh City?

Is it easier to fly to Hanoi instead?

Can I fly into one Vietnamese city and out of the other?
Yes, and on an itinerary that runs the length of the country it is usually better than a return to either. It also removes the frequency problem. Tell us which direction you want to travel.
What happens if my dates do not match the nonstop?
The itinerary connects, usually through a Gulf or Asian hub, with the lie-flat cabin on the long sector and a shorter second leg into Ho Chi Minh City. Give us your dates and we will tell you which shape is available before discussing price.
Which airport does this fare use?

Do you sell flights from Ho Chi Minh City to other countries?
No. We sell UK-origin tickets, and the fare here is for London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle into Ho Chi Minh City. If you are starting in Vietnam rather than Britain, we are the wrong firm.
Which UK airports can I start from?
We currently price departures from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle. Only the London fare can be the nonstop; the others are connecting itineraries.
Is first class available to Ho Chi Minh City?
We currently hold a first class fare from £3,425. Whether it tickets on your dates depends on the carrier and the routing, particularly on a connecting itinerary where a first cabin would normally cover the long sector only.
Are these Ho Chi Minh City fares guaranteed?
No. With two nonstop departures a week, whether your dates catch one changes the itinerary and the figure. Checked.
