Varanasi (VNS) is domestically well-linked but has no SGN non-stop, so you fly a feeder leg first. IndiGo and Air India connect Varanasi to Delhi and Kolkata, where you join IndiGo (direct DEL/CCU–SGN), Vietjet Air, Vietnam Airlines, or Thai AirAsia/Thai Airways via Bangkok. Full-service combinations keep one PNR with through-checked bags; low-cost pairings are cheaper but may need a self-transfer at the hub.
The quickest realistic path is Varanasi–Delhi–Ho Chi Minh City, roughly 9–10 hours including layover. Bangkok routings run longer but add flexibility:

Tan Son Nhat (SGN) is only about 7 km from District 1, so the transfer into central Saigon is a 20–40 minute taxi or Grab ride. Use metered Vinasun or Mai Linh taxis from the rank, or book Grab at the designated app pickup. A typical fare to District 1 is 170,000–220,000 VND; city bus 109 costs under 20,000 VND. Buy a tourist SIM and draw VND from arrivals ATMs before heading out.
Full-service Vietnam Airlines and Air India economy usually include 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. Low-cost carriers — Vietjet, AirAsia, IndiGo international — sell the base seat only, so add 20–30 kg if you plan to shop. Because a Varanasi feeder ticket and a separate international ticket do not auto-transfer baggage, recheck at Delhi or Kolkata and keep a 3–4 hour connection buffer.

Booking 6–10 weeks ahead and choosing mid-week departures usually keeps the fare in the lower half of the band.

For Varanasi's Buddhist travellers, Vietnam's pagodas add a meaningful cultural extension.
