Vijayawada Airport is mainly domestic, so for Hanoi you will start with an IndiGo or Air India hop to Chennai or Hyderabad, where the international leg begins. Chennai and Hyderabad both connect well to Southeast Asia via Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, and Delhi is an alternative if you want Vietnam Airlines' direct metro service. Booking on a single ticket through-checks your baggage; self-connecting saves money but you re-check bags at the South Indian metro.
Bangkok is a popular and often cheap gateway with Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways and VietJet flying onward to Hanoi, and Suvarnabhumi is a comfortable place to break the journey. Kuala Lumpur works well on AirAsia for budget travellers. Going via Delhi for a direct Vietnam Airlines flight cuts a stop but adds backtracking from the south.
Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport is about 27 km from the Old Quarter, a 40–50 minute drive. International flights use the modern Terminal 2. The budget route into town is the public bus at around 35,000 VND, while Grab or a metered taxi is faster for more money. Keep some Vietnamese dong handy. For the long-haul portion, see our Chennai to Hanoi guide.
Vietnam Airlines fares usually include 23 kg checked baggage, but VietJet and AirAsia sell it separately, so pre-purchase online to avoid steep airport rates. 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 strictly, so balance your packing between checked and carry-on.
Economy round-trips on this routing typically run ₹30,000–₹51,000 depending on season and stops, with the lowest fares in March, May and September. The October–December peak and Lunar New Year (Tet) raise prices, so avoid them where you can. Booking 5–9 weeks ahead usually lands the best price, and fare alerts help you catch VietJet and AirAsia promotions early.
Hanoi blends French-colonial charm, peaceful lakes and renowned street food with the bustle of the Old Quarter. It is the springboard for Ha Long Bay's limestone islands (about 2.5 hours away), Sapa's terraced hills and Ninh Binh's river caves. Vietnam stretches the rupee further than most of Asia, offers plenty of vegetarian food, and is easy to get around, which is why travellers from Andhra Pradesh are increasingly choosing it for holidays.
Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam, and the simplest option is the official 90-day e-visa applied for online before you travel; 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.

There is currently no non-stop service between Vijayawada and Hanoi — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 10–13h (1–2 stops via Chennai/Hyderabad + Bangkok).
