Luang Prabang International Airport

Luang Prabang International Airport, dating back to the mid-20th century, is a compact single‑terminal gateway to Laos’ UNESCO-listed city, handling mostly regional and seasonal international flights. Small but busy during peak tourist months, the airport is about a 10–15 minute drive from the historic town center and is well connected by taxis, tuk-tuks and a few shuttle buses, with onward road links to Vientiane and northern Laos. Generally considered affordable for travelers—especially on regional carriers—it serves as an important base for Lao Airlines and sees regular services from Southeast Asian and Chinese carriers, making it a convenient, budget‑friendly entry point to Luang Prabang.
