Building your Surat to Hanoi itinerary
Surat Airport runs limited international service, so for Hanoi you will almost always start with an IndiGo or Air India hop to Mumbai or Delhi, where the long-haul leg begins. From Delhi, Vietnam Airlines and VietJet offer convenient metro-to-Hanoi options, while Mumbai connects well via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Booking the whole trip on a single ticket protects your baggage and your connection; self-connecting saves money but you re-check bags at the Indian metro.
Picking a hub: Delhi direct, Bangkok or KL
Delhi is attractive because Vietnam Airlines and VietJet fly straight to Hanoi, cutting out a second stop. Bangkok is a popular budget gateway with Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways and VietJet, and lets you break the journey at Suvarnabhumi. Kuala Lumpur works well on AirAsia for cost-conscious travellers.
- Via Delhi: fewest stops, direct metro service.
- Via Bangkok: flexible and often cheap.
- Via KL: AirAsia value fares.
Arriving at Noi Bai International (HAN)
Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport is about 27 km from the Old Quarter, roughly a 40–50 minute drive. International flights use the modern Terminal 2. The budget option into town is the public bus at around 35,000 VND, while Grab or a metered taxi is faster for a higher fare. Keep some Vietnamese dong handy for tolls and tips. For the long-haul portion, see our Mumbai to Hanoi guide.
Baggage and budget-airline fare traps
Vietnam Airlines fares usually include 23 kg checked baggage, but VietJet and AirAsia sell it as an add-on, so pre-purchase online to avoid steep airport charges. On split tickets each carrier applies its own allowance independently, meaning a through-checked bag is not guaranteed. Budget airlines weigh cabin baggage at the gate and enforce a 7 kg limit firmly, so distribute weight carefully between checked and carry-on.
Best months to fly and fare expectations
Economy round-trips on this routing typically run ₹30,000–₹52,000 depending on season and number of stops, with the lowest fares in March, May and September. The October–December peak and Lunar New Year (Tet) push prices up, so avoid those if you can. Booking 5–9 weeks ahead generally lands the best price, and fare alerts help you catch VietJet and AirAsia sales.
Hanoi and northern Vietnam for Indian visitors
Hanoi blends French-colonial charm, atmospheric lakes and superb street food in its bustling Old Quarter. It is the springboard to Ha Long Bay's limestone islands (about 2.5 hours away), the terraced hills of Sapa, and Ninh Binh's river caves. Vietnam stretches the rupee further than most of Asia, has plenty of vegetarian options, and is easy to navigate, which is why Gujarati travellers are increasingly choosing it for both holidays and short breaks.
Vietnam visa essentials for Indians
Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam, and the simplest route is the official 90-day e-visa applied for online before you fly; it typically processes in 3–5 working days and can be single or multiple entry. Carry a printed copy of the approval for check-in and immigration. Ensure your passport has at least six months' validity and blank pages. See our visa guide for the latest fees and steps.
