Airlines and routings from Chandigarh to Hanoi
No carrier flies IXC–HAN non-stop, so itineraries connect once. The most common pattern is a short domestic hop on IndiGo or Air India to Delhi, then a direct DEL–HAN service on VietJet, Vietnam Airlines or IndiGo. Alternatively, route through a SE-Asia hub: Bangkok (Thai Airways) or Kuala Lumpur (AirAsia/Malaysia Airlines). For tricity travellers, the Delhi connection is usually quickest thanks to growing direct India–Vietnam capacity.
- IXC–DEL–HAN: IndiGo / VietJet / Vietnam Airlines
- IXC–BKK–HAN: Thai Airways
- IXC–KUL–HAN: AirAsia / Malaysia Airlines
Connecting through Delhi or a SE-Asia hub
A Delhi connection keeps things simple: book the feeder and the international leg together so bags through-check and the connection is protected. If they are on separate tickets, you re-check at Delhi—leave at least 3 hours. Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur routings suit travellers wanting a stopover but add distance. For most tricity travellers the DEL hub is the fastest and most dependable choice.
Arriving at Noi Bai and reaching central Hanoi
Hanoi's Noi Bai International (HAN) sits about 27 km north of the city centre. The airport bus (route 86) runs to the Old Quarter for a few dollars, while a metered or pre-booked taxi takes roughly 40–50 minutes. Grab is widely available and usually cheaper than airport touts. Carry small US-dollar notes or Vietnamese dong; ATMs are plentiful at the arrivals hall.
Baggage and fare types
Vietnam Airlines and Thai Airways typically include 20–30 kg checked on international economy fares, while budget carriers VietJet and AirAsia sell cabin-only base fares with checked bags added for a fee. On a Delhi feeder, confirm whether your IndiGo domestic allowance (often 15 kg) matches the international leg. Always buy extra baggage online before departure to avoid higher airport rates.
Typical fares and the cheapest months
Economy round-trips from Chandigarh to Hanoi typically run ₹28,000–₹55,000 depending on season, hub and how early you book. Budget routings via Delhi on VietJet can be the cheapest; full-service one-stops cost more. Fares rise over the October–December dry season and around Tet. Booking 6–8 weeks ahead and flying mid-week helps. See our Chandigarh to Manila guide for another SE-Asia option.
What tricity travellers love about northern Vietnam
Hanoi is the gateway to Vietnam's spectacular north: the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, the rice terraces of Sapa, and the city's French-colonial streets, lakes and street-food scene. It is affordable, photogenic and easy to combine with a cruise or beach extension. October to April brings the driest, most pleasant weather. For first-time SE-Asia travellers from north India, the low costs and short flight time make it a strong pick.
Vietnam visa and entry for Indians
Indian citizens need a visa for Vietnam, and the simplest route is the official e-visa, applied for online and valid for stays of up to 90 days under current single- or multiple-entry rules. Processing usually takes about 3–5 working days, so apply at least a week before travel and print the approved e-visa for immigration. Confirm the latest fees and validity on our visa guide or the official portal before booking non-refundable flights.
