No, we are not lying. You can literally now fly all the way to Vietnam for less than $500. Return!
The awesome deal comes direct from Scott’s Flights, a US-based travel agency specialising in wonderfully cheap deals. And with your summer vacation in full swing, it’s only natural you’ve probably already started thinking about your next dream trip already. Well stop thinking, because you’ll be jetting off to Vietnam, and no buts, just look at it:
No wonder Scott’s wants you all to go there.
So what of this deal? According to Scott’s you can fly to the south-east Asian beauty on some of the world’s top airlines, including the multi-award-winning Cathay Pacific. Some routes will let you have long layovers in the likes of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul, so it’s a great opportunity to go and explore another city at the same time. Think of it as a perk. Oh, and just a short FYI: it’s super easy to apply for a visa now. All you have to do is apply online, and pay a very reasonable $25.
Even better news: there are absolutely no bag fees whatsoever!
Scott’s found the deal using the Google Flights checker tool, and they encourage you to do the same, too.
To save you all the work, they even gave us the scoop on the best and cheapest departure points in the US, too.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
