Wattay International Airport Address:
Wattay International Airport (VTE), Vientiane, Laos
Wattay International Airport 🇱🇦
It is the largest international airport in Laos and is a connecting point to many destinations. Due to its small size, there are not many facilities or shops here. You do not need to arrive 2-3 hours early like in other places. You can arrive around 1.50 hours before your flight without worrying about missing your flight because there is not much time for check-in, immigration and customs.

Lao Airlines Lao Airlines flight QV 104 departed from Luang Prabang International Airport to Wat Sai International Airport in Vientiane, taking only 30 minutes to fly. The aircraft used for this flight was a relatively new ATR72-600 propeller plane that was only a few years old. This small plane is popular all over the world. This airline allows a baggage allowance of 20 kilograms. Drinking water is served on the flight.

💁🏻♂️ Ttukbokki's [Laos Travel] Story
Lao Airlines, a direct flight from Incheon to Vientiane! They served in-flight meals not long after takeoff. It's been a while since I've had in-flight meals... The rice, which tasted similar to samgyetang, was good. You can tell it's an old plane, but the flight attendants were very friendly, and since it's a national airline, they provide bread and drinks as snacks before landing in addition to the in-flight meals. You can also request Beer Lao, a Laos beer. However, they served it when I was heading to Laos, but not when I was returning to Korea~

Wattay International Airport
Vientiane International Airport is another airport that tourists must use when coming to Vientiane. It is a small airport with the same standards as other airports, both clean and airy. For Thais who come here, you don't have to worry about the language. Plus, the baht can be used like in Thailand. I can say in one word, "comfortable". Before boarding the plane, you must have a vaccination certificate. No need to check for Covid before boarding the plane. #laos

An Unexpected Airport Adventure: Vientiane to Singapore

I arrived at the departure hall of Vientiane's international airport bright and early at 7 AM, taking a taxi from my hotel that set me back 170,000 kips. I handed the driver 200,000 kips, only to be met with a disappointing claim that he had no small change to return—ouch! The airport, though small, is conveniently located just 10 minutes from the city, albeit costing a hefty 200,000 kips or 10 USD for the ride.
The airport's design is modest, a testament to the Japanese grant that made its construction possible in 1998. Upon entering, you're greeted by two sides—domestic on the right and international on the left. Both sides feature some shops, but the price difference between domestic and international shops is comically vast. Naturally, I gravitated towards the domestic side and grabbed my breakfast at Laffe.
The check-in process was smooth and swift, taking a mere 10 minutes. Now, with my boarding pass in hand and excitement in the air, I'm all set to fly to Singapore! ✈️

First time ever flying Lao Airlines ✈️
#newyearnewtrip
This trip is a flight from Vientiane,Lao to Bangkok, Thailand ✈️
Lao Airlines generally offers a reliable, if basic, service for travelers flying within Laos or to nearby countries.
Service
* Customer Service: Passengers often report friendly staff, though English proficiency can be limited, especially outside major cities.
* In-flight Experience: In-flight service is typically simple. On shorter flights, there may be minimal refreshments, but passengers flying longer routes might experience light meals or snacks.
Comfort
* Seating: The seating on Lao Airlines flights is typically standard economy class with reasonable legroom, though some passengers find the seats a bit cramped, especially on older planes.
* Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the aircraft is generally good, though it can vary depending on the age of the plane.
Routes
* Lao Airlines connects a number of cities within Laos (Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse) and offers international flights to neighboring countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, and Myanmar.
* The network is smaller than larger regional carriers, which may limit choices for some travelers.
Value for Money
Lao Airlines tends to offer competitive fares, particularly on domestic routes. However, some passengers feel that the quality of the flight experience may not always match the price, especially on shorter regional routes.
Lao Airlines is generally a decent choice for short domestic flights and regional connections. It offers good value for those traveling within Southeast Asia, though travelers may want to be prepared for the occasional delay or less-than-luxurious amenities.

Wattay International Airport Domestic Shop
It's a small airport. Prices are different between international and domestic flights. If you're looking to save money, I recommend going to the domestic airport to buy things. The sandwich in the photo was 18,000k. Smoking is prohibited outside, so if you smoke outside the designated smoking area, a police officer will come to collect a fine. Be careful.

💁🏻♂️ Ttukboki's [Laos Travel] Tips
Wattay International Airport, the gateway to Laos and located in Vientiane. It is convenient to take a taxi or minibus when traveling from the airport to the city. After you go through immigration - the airport is not that big - you can easily find the counter. Just tell the driver your destination, pay the fare, and follow him. The fare can also be calculated in dollars, so there is no need to exchange money at the airport where the exchange rate is not good!
