Exotic Vietnam - how many hours to fly there from Moscow to its resorts and big bustling cities?

It is often said that if Vietnam were closer, it would have been filled with Russian tourists long ago. There is some truth in this, and probably a lot of it. But, alas, Vietnam is as far away as exotic Thailand, intercepting millions of tourists from all over the world and leaving Vietnam almost no chance. Of course, the resort and tourist potential of the Thai neighbor is not enough to compete, but still it is.

So how much to fly to vietnam from moscow? In fact, this question does not have a direct answer. Options, as in the air, are not so few. Various airlines, direct flights and transfers. Each case has its own nuances. Well, since you are going to this distant country, you need to figure out exactly how much to fly there.

Every tourist who has been to a large number of countries knows very well that the flight time is formed on the basis of many factors and nuances. Flight is no exception to this rule.
The first factor in flight duration is the arrival airport, city, locality. The second point is the type of flight. If it is direct, then you will, of course, be faster at your destination. A transit flight with a transfer or even several, of course, will take much longer. In this case, it all depends on the waiting time. The duration of the flight can increase literally by half an hour, or maybe by several hours or more. This may not seem so important, but it is imperative to plan such nuances in advance. When wondering how many hours to fly to Vietnam from Moscow airports, one must also take into account weather conditions, seasons, visibility, and so on.

Well, now a little about more specific numbers. If you bought a ticket for a direct flight to Vietnam, then you will most likely know the flight time from Moscow exactly and immediately - about 9 hours. A lot, but the distance is huge. But often tourists from Russia choose a flight with a transfer in Guangzhou, China. Such a flight can take up to 16 hours. And you just have to wait a couple of hours between transplants. But there are other routes, in which there are two transfers. Here the flight can be delayed for 20 hours or more. Thus, when asked how long it takes to fly to Vietnam, you can hear the answer "9 hours" or "almost a day." And both options are correct.

Transport communication between Vietnam and Russia is very well developed today. Therefore, the official time of the flight to Vietnam from Moscow, indicated in the sources, is usually measured to the minute and is as accurate as possible. Flight delays happen quite rarely, so you should not worry about the extra hours spent at the airport.
So, the flight time to Vietnam from Moscow by direct flights:

Flight to Vietnam

The main question that no doubt worries tourists is: "How long does it take to fly to Vietnam from Moscow?". The distance from the capital of Russia to the Vietnamese border is measured in several thousand kilometers, which means that you can’t count on a fast flight.

There are two ways to make a flight from Moscow to Vietnam: organize your own vacation by buying tickets directly from the carrier, or purchase a ready-made tour, the cost of which, in addition to the flight, includes hotel accommodation and insurance.

Charter or scheduled flight

Tour operators selling ready-made package tours most often choose charter flights for the transportation of passengers, that is, they rent aircraft from the airline.

At the same time, the duration of the trip is almost doubled due to long waits at the airport and is already at least sixteen hours.

The distance to Ho Chi Minh City from the Russian capital is 7717 kilometers, the flight time indicated by air carriers is nine hours and fifty minutes.
