Cheap flight to Asia - Vietnam??? Anyone???

Options
Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to search for the cheapest flights to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam for the beginning of May, staying for about 9 weeks. The best price I had so far is £501.

Any help would be really appreciative.
xoxo

    £501 seems very good, which airline is that? Where in the UK can you fly from?

    Have you tried https://www.evaair.com, they may not fly everyday.

    I booked with DialaFlight, and found them very good.

    Thanks guys. £501 was through a search and came up with Cathy Pacific. My dad has managed to book through a Vietnamese travel agent today for £495, total £547 including them sorting out the visa - not sure what airlines though, but I know the connecting flight is in Hong Kong.

    If you're really penny pinching go to Kuala Lumpur (a cheaper hub) and get Air Asia flights. Or Singapore and the Lion Air flights.

    best price I came up with was about £538 quid;

    Cathay Pacific with 1 stop in Hong Kong. I use Omega Travel quite a lot for my Chinese students when I'm booking flights for them and they are usually quite good.

    It was cheaper if you go later in the year.

    i have used Air Asia with success. Cheap online booking. they now fly from london Stanstead to kuala Lumpur, then connect to anywhere else in Asia using any other local flgith. this is often cheaper than direct flights.
