Which airlines fly Delhi to Hanoi non-stop?
Vietjet, IndiGo and Vietnam Airlines fly non-stop between Delhi and Hanoi's Noi Bai airport. All three depart from Terminal 3 at Delhi. Frequencies vary by season, so check the days of the week before fixing your dates.
What are the best flight timings?
Vietnam is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of India. Several departures are overnight and land in Hanoi early morning. A popular plan is to fly into Hanoi and home from Ho Chi Minh City, which Vietjet also links to Delhi, so you travel north to south without backtracking.
Baggage on full-service and low-cost airlines
Vietjet's base fare covers a 7 kg cabin bag only; add checked baggage online when you book, as airport rates are much higher. Vietnam Airlines includes meals and checked baggage. IndiGo usually includes a checked bag on international fares but charges for meals and seats. Halong Bay cruises and domestic flights also have baggage limits, so a 20 kg bag per person is usually plenty.
Getting from Noi Bai to the city
The airport is about 30 km north of the Old Quarter. A taxi or Grab takes 45–60 minutes and costs about VND 300,000–400,000 (₹1,000–1,350). Public bus 86 runs to the Old Quarter and the railway station for about VND 45,000 (₹150) and takes around an hour.
When to book, and connecting options
Book 3–6 weeks ahead. Fares jump around Tet (late January or February), in May–June and over Christmas. March–April and August–September are usually cheapest. One-stop routes via Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore work if the non-stop is full, at 8–11 hours in total.
Tips for families and seniors
- Print or save your approved e-visa — airlines check it at Delhi check-in.
- Book daytime flights with young children to avoid an early-morning arrival.
- Hanoi's Old Quarter is crowded and lanes are narrow; seniors may prefer hotels near Hoan Kiem Lake with lift access.
- Vegetarian meals are easy to pre-order on Vietnam Airlines; on Vietjet and IndiGo, pre-book a hot meal online.
