Saigon to Bangkok

Check AirAsia. They were suppose to start service between SGN and BKK in November06. Very cheap and realiable service. I know they fly out of Hanoi. Easy to book on line. One way fares for under $100USD

Thai airlines usually for $170-$250USD RT

Viet Nam airlines

Lufthansa has flights that stop there on the way west. Sometimes offering pretty cheap one way flights

Most any agency on De Tham street/Pham Ngu Lao area can help you out. Shop around.

good luck

Both Thai and Vietnam airlines fly that route. Try booking your flight with Vietnam Airlines directly to avoid the additional 3-4% booking fee most agents charge.

I wasn't aware of the AirAsia service between SGN and BKK. Great advice, thanks to you both.

I was in March in Saigon and I took a flight to BKK with Vietnam Airlines. It cost around 200USD. Airasia didn't fly at that time to BKK..

You weren't aware of the Air Asia service because it doesn't exist. They still are only flying to Hanoi. You should also check Bangkok Airways. They fly 3 times/week to between BKK-SGN.

Pacific Airlines, a Vietnamese carrier that recently morphed into a budget airline flies from SGN to BKK. AirFrance has some special low fares on this route as well.

OP,

I heard that the Airasia flight from SGN to BKK should be available sometime this year. I'll be in SEA this July/August and am hoping that it'll be available by then.

Based on what I find for fares between Hanoi and BKK, the price on Air Asia is incredibly affordable. I hope they begin service between SGN and BKK soon. The other carriers are much more expensive than AirAsia. Thanks to all!
