Flights

Included: Intra-flight tickets: Hanoi - Hoi An; Hoi An - Ho Chi Minh City; Ho Chi Minh City - Bangkok (Economy class) by Vietnam Airlines, Thai Airways or similar including fuel charge and airport taxes. Checked baggage allowance: 20kg and Handbag allowance: 7kg. ------------------ The cost of internal airfares will need to be paid separately upon arrival at the destination as a local payment. The internal airfare fee is a separate charge from the main tour cost and is paid upon arrival. This is because the cost of internal airfare can vary based on a number of factors, such as the time of year, availability of flights, and fuel prices. By separating the internal airfare fee from the main tour cost, Legend Travel Group is able to offer a more accurate and transparent price for our customers. Additionally, if your trip is cancelled at the last minute due to factors such as the Covid-19 pandemic or other reasons, you will not be responsible for paying the internal airfare fee. This ensures that customers are not charged for services that they do not receive.
