How to get the best deal on a Vientiane — Xam Nua ticket

Given the low flight frequency (only one flight per week), we recommend booking tickets 2–3 months before your trip to ensure seat availability.
Use the low-price calendar on this page, as direct QV flights are operated on specific days, and it is important to see available dates right away.
Since the distance between the cities is short (308 km), small aircraft are often used on the route; check carry-on and checked baggage allowances in advance.
Monitor the price dynamics chart: if the price for your desired date is too high, check neighboring weeks, as fares depend heavily on flight occupancy.
