Hi,

I'll be in Thailand for 20 days in March and planning a side trip to Hanoi, Vietnam for about 4 days. I'm planning to book air & hotel separately since I got a corporate discount at Intercontinental hotel in Hanoi. My question is should I book my flight here in the US (internet) or wait to book it with one of the local Thai travel agency? I prefer to fly with the major airlines, not the low budget ones. I'm checking Thai airways (pricey) and Air France. Are there any other airlines that fly BKK-HAN?Is it cheaper to book the aifares in Thailand?

i would contact eddie as many of us have done and see what he can do for you for the flights....he gets fabulous deals to VN from bkk.....he works at an american express agency in bkk...

The following budget airlines fly from BKK to HAN:
AirAsia - Nok Air - Pacific Airlines

Since you don't want a budget airline, I would contact Eddie. I use him most years to book intra-asia flights. I know of Thai and Air France, but I expect there may be other options as well. Even on Thai, Eddie can often get better prices there than we can from the US.

Hi,
I would also do it in Bangkok.
Vietnam Airlines could be another choice.
