Bangkok to Hanoi by Flight
Several airlines serve the route, including Thai AirAsia and Thai Airways.[1][2] Flights leave from both of Bangkok's international airports, Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK), and land at Hanoi (HAN).[2]
Departures from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
Thai Airways flies from Suvarnabhumi to Hanoi, and Suvarnabhumi is usually the more convenient airport if you connect from a long-haul flight or stay in the eastern parts of the city.[2] Fares and schedules change with the season and how early you book, so check the airline for the date you want.
Departures from Don Mueang Airport (DMK)
Don Mueang is the main hub for low-cost carriers in Bangkok and suits you if you stay in northern Bangkok. Thai AirAsia lists the cheapest Bangkok to Hanoi fares from 2,516 baht (about $75), and flight durations of 1 hour 45 minutes to 1 hour 55 minutes.[1] Low-cost carriers often charge extra for checked luggage and enforce weight limits strictly, so check the baggage terms before you book.

Tips for Traveling from Bangkok to Hanoi
- Check Entry Requirements: Entry rules for Vietnam depend on your nationality and change from time to time. Check the official Vietnamese e-visa portal before you book, and carry any e-visa confirmation with you at check-in in Bangkok.
- Airport Selection: Double-check which Bangkok airport your flight departs from. BKK and DMK are on opposite sides of the city, and a mistake can mean a long and expensive taxi ride.
- Luggage: If you fly with a low-cost carrier, compare the checked baggage allowance and fees with a full-service fare.
- Booking Ahead: Prices rise closer to departure, so book early if your dates are fixed.
