Planning to go Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Hong Kong for 18 days

Hi,

Does anyone know a good flight plan if I'm planning to go to Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and Hong Kong for 18 days total (about 4 days in each country) in December 2017 or January 2018. I was checking Kayak & skyscanner and was seeing different prices. Not sure how to plan it out to get the best price (w/ reasonable flight time hours).

Thank you,

I'm planning to go to Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and Hong Kong for 18 days total (about 4 days in each country) in December 2017 or January 2018.

First of all, I think this is a really bad idea, mostly becuse of the (about 4 days in each country) part of the plan.

But you could do it, if you just stick to one place or city in each country, and do a few day trips from your town or city. For instance you could go Hanoi - Lunang Prabang - Ubud (on the island of Bali) - Hong Kong. The flights between Luang Prabang and Bali would take a whole day to complete.

What you'd do is decide on your travel dates, then book a series of one way flights between each airport. It won't cost any more than the enourmous headache of trying to book the whole thing at once.

Book your initial flight into one country and out of the last. Then in between have a look at some of the budget airlines. A Google search will give you some ideas of which fly and where regionally.

Leaving just 18 days for these 4 locations is really a poor value for the money trip, and you will spend way too much of it at airports waiting to check in, etc. I would recommend against it.
