Air France is selling premium economy tickets for its SkyTeam partner Vietnam Airlines, flying you from Norway or Sweden to Hanoi for only €944.

Information & Tips for Hanoi
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, offers a blend of historical sites, chaotic street life, and traditional culture. Popular places to visit include the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature, and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Like the rest of Vietnam, the currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND), and travel costs are generally low—street food, local transport, and entrance fees are budget-friendly. The weather has more variation than the south, with hot, rainy summers from May to September and cooler, drier winters, especially from December to February.

Information & Tips for Vietnam
Vietnam offers a mix of vibrant cities, historic landmarks, and natural beauty—popular sights include Ha Long Bay, the old town of Hoi An, the Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi’s colonial architecture. The official currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND), and while prices are generally low compared to Western standards, tourist hotspots can be more expensive. Expect a tropical climate with hot, humid summers and a rainy season that varies by region—so packing accordingly is key.
Vietnam’s transport infrastructure is mixed—within cities, getting around is relatively easy thanks to widespread motorbike taxis and ride-hailing apps, though traffic can be chaotic and sidewalks crowded. Public buses exist but are often confusing for tourists. Between cities, options include budget airlines, trains, and long-distance buses; while not always fast or punctual, they are generally affordable and accessible with some planning.
