Every option starts with a feeder flight from Lucknow, usually on IndiGo or Air India to Delhi or Kolkata, then an onward leg to Ho Chi Minh City. IndiGo has expanded its direct Vietnam network from Indian metros, so a Delhi or Kolkata connection often keeps you on a single carrier. Alternatively, transit through Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur opens up Thai Airways, Vietjet and AirAsia onward seats.
From Lucknow, Delhi is the natural gateway with the most onward Vietnam seats, while Kolkata trims a little distance going east. A Bangkok or KL stop is worth it only when the fare is clearly lower, since separate tickets mean you re-check bags and clear immigration. If you are comparing metros, our Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City page lists the direct onward options in detail.
Tan Son Nhat International is just 6–8 km from central District 1, one of the closest major-city airports to its downtown in Asia. Grab (the local ride-hailing app), metered taxis and airport buses all serve the city; a taxi to District 1 typically takes 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Withdraw Vietnamese dong from an ATM or carry US dollars, and keep your e-visa printout handy for the immigration desk.
Budget carriers Vietjet and AirAsia sell stripped-back base fares, so confirm cabin and checked allowance before paying. On split tickets your bags are usually not through-checked, meaning you collect and re-deposit them at the transit airport. Full-service economy on Vietnam Airlines or Thai Airways generally includes 30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin — useful if you plan to shop in Saigon's markets.
Southern Vietnam is warm year-round; the dry season (December–April) is the most pleasant and most expensive, while the May–September wet months bring short downpours and lower prices. Return economy from Lucknow typically ranges ₹26,000–₹48,000 depending on season and routing, with the cheapest seats in April–May and September when you book a few weeks ahead.
Ho Chi Minh City is fast, affordable and rich in history — the War Remnants Museum, Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta day-trips anchor most itineraries. Vegetarian and Indian food is easy to find, and the city makes a great base before heading to Da Nang, Hoi An or Phu Quoc. For first-time international travellers from UP it is approachable, English-friendly enough, and gentle on the wallet.
Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. The simplest route is the official online e-visa, which permits stays of up to 90 days (single or multiple entry) and is usually approved within 3–5 working days. Apply only through the government portal, carry a printout, and keep your passport valid for at least 6 months. See our visa guide for the current fee and document checklist.

Yes. Indians must obtain a Vietnam e-visa in advance; it is typically issued in 3–5 working days and allows stays of up to 90 days.

The great-circle distance is roughly 3,650 km, which combined with a layover gives a typical total travel time of 9–12 hours.
Combinations of IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, Thai Airways and Malaysia Airlines cover the 2 legs; IndiGo runs the most single-carrier connections via Delhi.
