This is a healthy non-stop market. IndiGo (6E) flies daily and is usually the value leader. Vietnam Airlines, the full-service flag carrier, operates several times a week, and budget VietJet also serves the route. Air India launched DEL–HAN service in 2026, adding a full-service Indian option. For more departure-day flexibility you can also connect one-stop via Bangkok (Thai), Singapore (Singapore Airlines) or other Southeast/East Asian hubs, but with daily non-stops there's rarely a need.
The non-stop covers about 3,000 km with a block time of roughly 4 to 4.5 hours eastbound. The routing crosses eastern India, the Bay of Bengal, Myanmar and into northern Vietnam. Hanoi is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of India, so jet lag is minimal. Many flights operate in convenient daytime or evening slots. One-stop alternatives via Bangkok or Singapore add several hours but open up more timing and onward-network options.
Vietnam's peak for Indian travellers aligns with winter holidays (December–January), summer school breaks (April–June) and long weekends. Northern Vietnam is loveliest in autumn (September–November) and spring (March–April), which can also be busier. The cheapest fares tend to appear in the quieter shoulder months and outside Indian holiday peaks. For festive and summer travel, book 8–14 weeks ahead. Check live fares in the FlightGPT search, comparing IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines, VietJet and Air India.

In Delhi, the carriers depart Indira Gandhi International, Terminal 3 (T3) for international flights — allow about 2.5 hours for check-in, immigration and security. Hanoi Noi Bai International (HAN) handles international flights at Terminal 2 (T2), a clean, modern facility. The airport is about 27 km north of central Hanoi; a metered taxi or pre-booked Grab takes 40–50 minutes, and an airport shuttle bus is a cheap alternative into the Old Quarter.
IndiGo and VietJet are low-cost and sell checked baggage by fare bundle — pre-purchase to save; see the IndiGo baggage guide. Vietnam Airlines full-service economy typically includes a checked allowance and meals, and Air India includes a checked allowance too — see the Air India baggage guide. Always confirm the exact figure for your fare, especially if you plan to shop in Vietnam or carry coffee and souvenirs home.
Indians need a Vietnam e-Visa — apply online at the official evisa.gov.vn portal. It costs around USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple entry), is valid for up to 90 days and is usually processed in about 3 working days (allow a little buffer). Your passport must be valid at least six months with two blank pages. Note the previous 30-day visa-free arrangement for Indians is not available, so an e-Visa is required. Verify current rules officially; see our visa guide for Indian travellers.
If the non-stop doesn't suit your dates, the practical one-stops are via Bangkok (Thai Airways or low-cost carriers) and Singapore (Singapore Airlines/Scoot), both with frequent onward flights to Hanoi and the chance to add a stopover. Bangkok is usually the cheaper, shorter connection from Delhi; Singapore offers premium service and a great airport. Either adds a few hours versus the non-stop, so weigh the layover against the fare and any stopover plans.
The Vietnamese dong (VND) is the currency; carry some cash for street food and markets, though cards work in cities. Grab is the easiest way to get around Hanoi and to the airport. With only a 90-minute time difference there's little jet lag. Use Hanoi as a base for an overnight Halong Bay cruise and the northern highlands of Sapa (overnight train or bus). Pack light layers — northern Vietnam can be cool and misty in winter.

Affordable, scenic and culturally rich, with a quick e-Visa and frequent non-stops from Delhi, northern Vietnam has become one of the most rewarding short-haul international trips for Indian travellers.
