Planning a Trip - Getting There
If you're flying to Southeast Asia, you will more than likely arrive via one of the region's three main hubs: Bangkok, Singapore, or Hong Kong, from where you can pick up flights to any other destination in Southeast Asia. Your home country's national carriers will almost certainly connect with all three of these airports. Check also with Southeast Asian-based airlines for fare deals: Cathay Pacific, Thai Airways International, Malaysian Airlines, and Singapore Airlines. Check United for its new direct flights between the U.S. West Coast and Vietnam.
