Travel to Laos: AIR TICKET BOOKING

There are two Lao airlines operating in Laos -- the larger national carrier, Lao Airlines and a small, quite new airline, Lao Air. The former flies both international and domestic routes, the latter domestic only.

Laos Airlines mainly operates between Bangkok, Chiang Mai (Thailand), Kunming (China), Phnom Penh, Siem Reap (Cambodia), Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Pakse (Laos). For some of the remote regions of Laos, the only viable links with the main centers are by air. Mountainous locations are served only by short landing strips.

Lao Air's route set is far more limited: Vientiane - Sam Neua – Vientiane; Vientiane - Phongsali – Vientiane; Vientiane - Sainyabuli – Vientiane.
