3. 4 Tips for Visitors When Flying from Mumbai to Hanoi

Here are four essential tips for visitors flying from Mumbai to Hanoi, designed to enhance your travel comfort and cultural immersion from the moment you take off.

3.1. Find Affordable Flight Options

To secure the lowest rates for your Mumbai-Hanoi journey, passengers should aim to book their flight 3 to 4 weeks in advance. Fares often increase during high-demand times such as major holidays, weekends, and the Lunar New Year (Tet Holiday), so early planning is recommended.

Another key way to get affordable tickets for the Mumbai-Hanoi route is by enrolling in Vietnam Airlines’ Lotusmiles Program. The more frequently you fly, the more valuable perks you’ll receive - including access to business lounges, priority seat confirmation (depending on your tier and flight status), expedited check-in, extra baggage allowance, and more. These privileges grow with your Lotusmiles status, from Silver, Titanium, Gold, and Platinum Million Miler.

You can earn two kinds of miles through the Lotusmiles program:

3.2. Always Be Alert to Your Surroundings

Sleeping openly at the airport during short layovers (under 3 hours) isn’t recommended. There's a risk of theft when you’re not paying attention. Keep important items like your phone, ID card, and wallet safe and on your person at all times.

If you have a layover that extends overnight, you should consider booking accommodations near the airport. Beyond ensuring a restful sleep, a nearby hotel can also provide a safe, quiet space to unwind and prepare for the journey ahead.

3.3. Join A Transit Tour

If you have a layover of 6 hours or more, many airlines offer transit tours that allow you to make the most of your time to explore the stopover city. These tours often include convenient airport pickup, guided sightseeing, and assistance with check-in procedures for your next flight.

With a layover lasting 6 to 10 hours in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Airlines makes your wait worthwhile with transit tours to iconic destinations like Thien Hau Pagoda, the historic Independence Palace, and Ho Chi Minh City Post Office. It’s a quick dive into Vietnam’s culture and local life. Don’t forget to book at least 8 days ahead for a transit visa, or 72 hours before your flight if you’re visa-exempt.
