Ternity0127 asked:


I am planning to go to Vietnam in December.
Which is the cheapest way to travel there?
From what I’ve heard, there is no direct route from London to Vietnam.
Also, apparently, bookings in December are incredibly expensive for some reason?
I’ve had a quick search via Thai Airlines and its £4000 for one person?! (when normally it should be around £800?)
*sorry i meant £2000.
I’m looking for flights that are around £1000 maximum.
I’m planning to go at the end of december and return at the beginning of January.

   I’ve been looking for flights to Bangkok Thailand,starting out on the 22nd returning after New year but as you say anything around this time sky rockets because it’s the festive season.That does seem a wee bit steep though.I’ll have a rummage.What dates in December,return?
   I found flights for 2 for around £2000 from the 16th till the 30th at this site.

   Keep looking and you’ll find cheaper.

   Dec and Jan. are the busiest months and prices increase around 30%. This is due to overseas Vietnamese coming over the holidays. They are able to stay longer because of being off work for Christmas and New Years.

   Also, Vietnamese New Year is in January (Lunar year so date varies) and is the largest Vietnamese holiday. Many shops and stores close down and people spend time with their families.
