How To Reach Vietnam From Delhi

If you're exploring Vietnam trips for the first time and wondering how to reach Vietnam from Delhi, the only practical way to reach it is by taking a flight, as there’s no direct rail link, and land borders only connect Vietnam to China, Laos, and Cambodia, none of which are viable overland routes from Delhi. 

The fastest and most convenient way to reach Vietnam from Delhi is a non-stop flight to Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) from New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), taking 4 to 5 hours. Popular airlines like Air India, IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines, and VietJet Air fly this route directly. 

Round-trip fares for a New Delhi to Vietnam flight start around ₹22,000 – ₹30,000 in the off-season and climb to ₹35,000+ around December–February. Every Indian passport holder needs a Vietnam e-visa before departure, as there's no visa-free entry except for Phu Quoc Island.

How to Reach Vietnam from Delhi By Flight

Do you know how far is Vietnam from Delhi by flight? The aerial distance between Delhi and Vietnam is approximately 3,000 km to 3,650 km, depending on the city you are arriving at, with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City being the most popular options.

There's no non-stop flight to Da Nang or Phu Quoc from Delhi. To reach either, you'll land in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City first and take a short domestic hop or connect through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore.

One-way tickets on VietJet and Vietnam Airlines have gone as low as ₹9,500–12,000 during flash sales. However, a realistic round-trip budget for regular booking is ₹17,000–24,000 in low season and ₹28,000–35,000 during December–February.

Which Vietnam Airport Should You Fly Into From Delhi?

Vietnam has three airports that Delhi travellers actually use, but only two of them offer non-stop flights. To figure out how to reach Vietnam from New Delhi, you need to first pick the right airport for your arrival according to your itinerary.

1. Hanoi (HAN) — best for North Vietnam first

Fly here if you're starting with Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Sapa, or Hanoi's Old Quarter or covering North and Central Vietnam before dropping south. Taking flights from Delhi to Hanoi is usually the cheapest way to reach Vietnam from Delhi.

• Non-stop flights from Delhi to Hanoi, Vietnam: IndiGo (daily), Vietnam Airlines (4 flights/week), VietJet Air 
• Average flight time: 4 to 4.5 hours non-stop
• Average round-trip fare: ₹18,000–35,000 in economy, depending on season

2. Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) — best for South Vietnam first

Fly here if you're starting with the Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels, or Ho Chi Minh City itself, or planning to head into Phu Quoc early in the trip

• Airlines flying non-stop: Air India (daily), Vietnam Airlines (up to 9 flights/week), VietJet Air
• Average flight time: 4.5 to 5 hours non-stop
• Average round-trip fare: ₹17,000–33,000 in economy, depending on season

3. Da Nang (DAD) — needs connecting flights

No airline flies from Delhi to Da Nang non-stop. Makes sense only if Da Nang, Hoi An, or Ba Na Hills is your main draw and you're not covering Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City on the same trip.

• Connect through Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City (domestic hop, shortest layovers) or through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore (international connection, usually longer)
• Total travel time: roughly 8 to 15 hours including the layover
• Round-trip fare: ₹20,000–40,000, depending on the connecting city and how far ahead you book

4. Phu Quoc (PQC) — no direct flight, best via Ho Chi Minh City

Flying directly into Phu Quoc gets Indians a 30-day visa-free entry but only if Phu Quoc is your actual first stop in Vietnam, not a connection after landing in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City first, which puts you back under standard e-visa rules.

• Delhi to Phu Quoc flights always route through Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi; there's no non-stop option.
• Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, and IndiGo run connections via Ho Chi Minh City (shortest, around 8–11 hours total) or Hanoi (slightly longer layover)
• Round-trip fare: ₹18,000–35,000

For multi-city trips (most first-timers doing Hanoi + Da Nang + Ho Chi Minh City), fly into one city and out of the other, using a short domestic flight to cover Da Nang in between. This avoids doubling back and usually costs less than two separate international bookings.

Delhi To Vietnam: Cost Breakdown

• Flights (round trip from Delhi): ₹28,000–48,000 depending on season (flight costs taken from Skyscanner during July)

• E-visa: ~₹2,100–2,200 per person (single-entry or multiple-entry)

• Hotels (3-star, per night): ₹2,500–5,000 per person

• Domestic flights within Vietnam: ₹3,000–6,000 for each route — most itineraries fly one or two of these legs:

• Hanoi ↔ Da Nang (~1h 25m) — the North-Central hop most people take for Ba Na Hills
• Da Nang ↔ Ho Chi Minh City (~1h 15m) — Central-South leg
• Hanoi ↔ Ho Chi Minh City (~2h) — direct North-South option if skipping Da Nang

• Food and local transport: ₹1,500–2,500 per day

A comfortable mid-range trip for two, flights included, typically lands between ₹1,00,000–1,50,000 total; before big-ticket add-ons like Halong Bay cruises or Ba Na Hills tickets. A Vietnam flight ticket price from Delhi stays lowest if booked 3-4 weeks out, so check fares early even if you're finalising the rest of the trip later.

Vietnam Visa For Indians: What You Need To Know

Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam every time; there's no bilateral visa-free arrangement. The one exception is Phu Quoc Island, where Indians get a 30-day visa-free stay, but only if arriving directly at Phu Quoc International Airport or its seaport, not connecting through mainland Vietnam first.

For everyone else, the Vietnam e-visa is the simplest route:

1. Cost: $25 (approx. ₹2,100) for 30-day single-entry and $50 (approx. ₹4,200) for multiple-entry (both non-refundable)
2. Validity: Up to 90 days
3. Processing time: 3–5 working days officially, though it's safer to apply 7–10 days before your trip
4. Where to apply: evisa.gov.vn, the Vietnam national electronic visa system
5. What you need: Passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date with 2 blank pages, a scanned passport bio-page, and a recent passport-size photo on a white background

WanderOn’s advice for travellers: the entry port you select while applying is fixed on your e-visa. If you enter through Hanoi but your e-visa lists Ho Chi Minh City, immigration can turn you back. Match it exactly to your flight ticket. You may consult our dedicated operations team for e-visa guidance for free.

Destination Expert Tips To Book Your Delhi–Vietnam Flight Right

1. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for the best fares on direct routes. Last-minute bookings inside 10 days can cost 30–40% more.

2. Set fare alerts on Skyscanner or Google Flights for DEL–HAN and DEL–SGN separately; prices often differ by a few thousand rupees between the two.

3. Avoid the week around Tet (Vietnamese New Year, usually late Jan–Feb) — flights and hotels both spike hard.

4. Fly Tuesday or Wednesday if your dates are flexible; weekend departures tend to run higher.

5. Match your e-visa entry port to your flight before booking—changing it later means reapplying.

6. Check baggage rules before comparing fares—VietJet's lowest fares are usually hand-baggage only; factor in add-on costs if you're checking in luggage.

7. Best time to visit Vietnam: February–April for the most stable weather across the whole country.

8. Cheapest months to fly: May–September, Vietnam's low season. Expect rain in parts, but fares and hotels drop noticeably.
