Indore to Ho Chi Minh City flights — quick facts

Routing from Indore to Saigon

IDR has no direct international link to Vietnam, so plan a domestic leg to Delhi (or Mumbai) and then a connection to Saigon, or a self-transfer via Bangkok or Singapore. Bangkok is often the cheapest gateway thanks to Thai AirAsia and VietJet; Delhi gives the smoothest single-ticket option on IndiGo or Vietnam Airlines. Allow 3 hours at the hub on a split booking. Our Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City page covers the onward leg.

Airlines serving the corridor

The main carriers are IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines and VietJet, with Thai AirAsia useful via Bangkok and Singapore Airlines/Scoot via SIN. IndiGo's expanding Southeast-Asia network and Vietnam Airlines' full-service product both work well; VietJet is the budget specialist into Saigon. For the Indore feeder, IndiGo and Air India connect to Delhi and Mumbai. Weigh a cheaper self-transfer against a through-fare that protects connections and baggage.

Tan Son Nhat Airport and city access

You land at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), just 7 km from downtown — unusually close for a major Asian city. A metered taxi (Vinasun, Mai Linh) or a Grab car reaches District 1 in 20–40 minutes. Collect Vietnamese dong and a local SIM or eSIM at arrivals. The airport handles domestic flights too, so if you are continuing to Da Nang, Nha Trang or Phu Quoc, check the terminal and leave time for the transfer.

Fares and baggage to plan for

Indicative economy round-trips from Indore to Ho Chi Minh City typically run ₹30,000–₹58,000, depending on season, number of stops and booking lead time. VietJet and other budget legs include 7 kg cabin baggage and charge for check-in, so add a 20–25 kg allowance when booking. Vietnam Airlines bundles a more generous checked allowance. Booking 8–12 weeks ahead and flying mid-week generally gives the best value on this multi-stop corridor.

Best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City

Southern Vietnam has a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November. The dry months are most comfortable for sightseeing and Mekong cruises, but Tet (Vietnamese New Year, late January or February) brings higher prices and closures. The wet season delivers short afternoon showers rather than constant rain, plus cheaper fares — a fine trade-off if you keep your plans flexible and pack a light rain jacket.

Why Saigon appeals to Indian travellers

Ho Chi Minh City offers an electric city break — rooftop bars, Ben Thanh Market, the War Remnants Museum and outstanding, affordable food. It is the gateway to the Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta and links easily to Vietnam's beaches and Hanoi for a fuller trip. Vegetarian options keep improving, and rupee-friendly prices stretch a holiday budget. For a southern-India equivalent of this route, see our Bhubaneswar to Ho Chi Minh City guide.

Vietnam e-visa for Indian passport holders

Indian citizens need a visa for Vietnam, most conveniently obtained as an e-visa applied for online before travel. It is typically issued for single or multiple entry up to 90 days; apply via the official immigration portal and carry a printed copy. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months' validity and a blank page. As Vietnam revises e-visa terms periodically, confirm the latest rules on our visa guide before booking.
