What Destinations Offer Domestic Flights in Laos?
Domestic flights in Laos connect the three international airports, plus several smaller provincial airports. Lao Airlines operates most domestic routes.
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.
