Regular domestic flights connect Vientiane with Luang Prabang (about 40 minutes) and Pakse (about 1 hour). Additional routes serve Savannakhet, Oudomxay, and other provincial capitals, though schedules may be less frequent.
Domestic flights are an excellent option for maximizing your time, particularly for the north-south route that would otherwise require a full day of overland travel. Prices range from $50 to $120 each way depending on the route and booking timing.
The Laos-China Railway now offers an alternative to flights for the Vientiane-Luang Prabang corridor, with comfortable high-speed trains making the journey in just 2 hours.
