Wattay International Airport (VTE) in Vientiane serves as Laos’s primary international gateway and a modest regional hub rather than a large global transfer center. It typically hosts a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines flying to nearby Southeast Asian cities, so fares can be competitive on short routes but higher for long-haul connections. The airport lies about 3–8 km north of downtown Vientiane; taxis and tuk-tuks usually take 10–20 minutes depending on traffic and cost roughly a few dollars, while hotel transfers are commonly available. Pros: compact terminal, short queues and quick immigration for many flights. Cons: limited shopping and lounge options and fewer flight frequencies than larger regional hubs.
Mandalay International (MDL) is the region’s primary gateway and typically handles most international and higher-end domestic services, while the smaller Mandalay (AMY, closed for commercial flights since the new airport opened) used to serve domestic routes. Expect a mix of full-service Asian carriers and regional low-cost airlines at MDL; fares can be relatively affordable compared with major Southeast Asian hubs but may be higher than domestic-only airports. The airport lies about 35–40 km north of central Mandalay, with road transfers taking roughly 45–60 minutes by taxi or private car and local bus options taking longer; fares can range from modest bus fees to mid-range taxi fares. Pros: newer facilities and more route choices; cons: distance from the city center and potential variability in ground-transport availability.
