TL;DR
Use flight aggregators like Aviasales to find options, then check directly on the airline's website — it can be cheaper. Chinese carriers with layovers are also worth considering.
Besides searching for flights separately, also monitor ready-made tour packages on travel agency sites — sometimes flight+hotel bundles work out cheaper than flights alone. For example, a tour to Vietnam for 3 people appeared recently at $210 for 14 days (one-way flight + accommodation included).
Another tip: try purchasing tickets through an agency or website based in your destination country — this can sometimes be cheaper than buying directly from your home country.
Trip.com often offers slightly lower prices than airline websites directly — a solid option for booking flights to Vietnam.
A useful approach: find flights on Aviasales first, then check the airline's own website directly — sometimes the price is lower there.
Chinese carriers with layovers are a budget-friendly option to Vietnam — they have modern planes, comfortable transit zones with free showers and hot/cold water, and lounge seating. Bringing your own snacks makes the layover easy.
For Vietnam, booking flights and accommodation independently is often cheaper than a package tour — especially if you skip luxury chain hotels. You also get full flexibility on dates and options.
