Vietnam Airlines is also offering outstanding special fares for its world-class new Premium Economy cabin, from as little as £858 per person return, including taxes.

Ho Chi Minh City - Economy from £396

Vietnam Airlines offers the UK's only nonstop flights to Vietnam, with six per week from Heathrow Terminal 4 to Hanoi or Saigon – rising to daily in Summer 2016. In September 2015 Vietnam's national flag carrier introduced brand new next-generation Boeing B787-9 Dreamliners on its UK routes as part of a major fleet upgrade, and launched a fresh new livery, corporate identity and brand image. Vietnam Airlines' flights are carefully scheduled to offer convenient overnight flights in both directions, and excellent onward connections via its comprehensive network of over 40 destinations in Asia, including 23 within Vietnam and Indochina as well as China, Japan and Taiwan.
