Cheap Flights to Laos

At the moment there are a couple of budget airlines that provide cheap flights to and from Vientiane Capital, Laos.

AirAsia provides a direct flight daily between Vientiane International airport in Laos and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

NokAir lists one daily flight to Vientiane, but it is not a direct flight. It is operated under the airline’s Fly'n'Ride service.

This means that the flight is a domestic flight in Thailand from Don Mueang Airport (Bangkok’s old airport) to Udon Thani, with a convenient connection by coach to the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge at Nong Kai border town. Then cross the border via the Bridge to Vientiane.

For Nokair Fly'nRide service, there will be a few hop-ons and offs between coaches.

The passengers are required to get off the coach at the border crossing post for immigration inspection to exit Thailand. Then take a local shuttle bus to cross the bridge, get off the bus and clear immigration to entry Laos. Then get on a Lao coach (provided by the airlines) that waits nearby to go to down town Vientiane. Check the airlines' website for more details.

Fares:

Fares vary a lot depending on seasons and time of booking. Normally (non-promotional) a return ticket (KUL-VTE-KUL) is around US$300+. But AirAsia often has promotion fares in addition to its regular cheap flights and these sometimes offer a big saving.

For NokAir Fly'n'Ride, a one-way ticket costs well under $100 or under $150 for a return ticket (economic). There are also often promotion fares. The only trade off is the time wasted at the border for immigration instpection and hoping on and off the coaches.
