How much to fly to Vietnam from Moscow: direct flight or with a transplant? Possible routes, which is better to choose, the difference in time, what else do you need to know? Do you get very tired when flying from Moscow to Vietnam, the distance between the chairs, how many times and how they feed in economy and business classes, says Eurotraveler.
In the point of view of most Russians, Vietnam is immensely distant and with this fact a bewitching Asian country. In which I want to visit only because it itself will not get there – another way to get to an ordinary tourist – it seems to be a real adventure.
Which will be pleasant to remember later in old age and even tell his grandchildren. It is worth at least to prepare morally, since this event looks quite tiring. Especially for children and not distinguished by heroic health of adults!
First of all, because it will have to fly from Moscow to Vietnam from 8-11 hours to a day or more. In the first case, we are talking about direct flights, which in 2025 are performed only by two companies: Aeroflot and Vietnam Airlines. In the second – about transit, with transfers at China airports (most often), as well as Istanbul or Dubai (Qatar).
Aeroflot flies from Moscow to three cities of Vietnam: Hanoi, Hoshimin and Nhagang (since the spring of 2025). Vietnam Airlines cares and serves only two directions so far: to Hanoy and Hoshimin.
As for transit routes, then their mass. And below we will definitely tell you which of them is most preferable.
Travel and prices
It is natural that most tourists are interested in how much to fly on a direct flight from Moscow to Nha Trang? We answer – a little more than 10 hours. For some reason, for some reason it can be longer-more than 11.
The fastest one can fly from Moscow to the capital of Vietnam, Hanoy – in 9 hours. The non -stop flight to Hoshimin will last a little less than 11 hours.
About the duration of flights with transplantation can be discussed for a long time. Therefore, we will briefly say this – at the best case, you will spend on the road a little more than 13 hours, at the worst … There is no limit to perfection)
Naturally, tickets for direct flights from Moscow to Nha Trang, the most famous and therefore popular beach resort of Vietnam, are most expensive (prices here). And therefore, an attempt to save with the help of a composite flight looks quite justified.
Yes, for such an attempt you will have to pay time (from 13.5 hours in one direction) and a waste of strength during transplantation. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, if you have the strength and you are not averse to opening new places on your way to rest – this is a great opportunity.
Since earlier in many transit cities of China, a Russian traveler could be without a visa (subject to traveling to a third country) up to 72 hours. In 2025, this period was increased to 240 hours or 10 days – why is it not a reason to just inspect, for example, Beijing?
Those who are not interested in such an opportunity, we will inform you that the shortest expectation at the transit airport and (seemingly) inexpensive tickets for the flight from Moscow to Nha Trang is offered by China Sourving Airlines. Flights with docking through Guangzhou Airport.
The difference in time
You must always remember a significant difference in time. This will help not to be late for a transplant at the transit airport and acclimatize faster at arrival.
For example, the difference between time in Moscow and Nhang, Hanoi, Hoemin, which in the summer, which leaves 4 hours in winter. Since in Vietnam, as in Russia, there is no concept of summer and winter time.
However, you have to travel east, that is, against the course of the sun. As a result of which, having flown from Moscow at 1 hour 30 minutes of the night, you will fly to Nha Trang (direct flight) at 15.50 of the same day, but according to Vietnamese time. Or – at 11.50 – according to Moscow.
In China, time is also not divided into summer and winter. And therefore, the difference between Beijing, like any other city of “Celestials”, not excluding Hong Kong and Macau (the only time zone operates throughout the country) and Moscow is always 5 hours.
We agree, you can get confused during such a trip by one or two. Especially if you are not able to sleep normally in the plane (which is very likely).
In order to prevent this from happening (confusing, not insomnia) on the smartphone, you need to activate the “use network time” option. Then, simultaneously with the change of clock belts, the time displayed on the device screen will change. Actual – you no longer need to add anything or take away anything!
What you need to know
If you mean the choice of a place in an economy class, then any flight from Moscow to Vietnam will strongly tire you-without options. This is especially true for tall and dense citizens.
First of all, it is worth preparing for the fact that the chairs will stand quite tightly, and the knees – to rest on the backs of the row standing in front. Each second row is equipped with chairs without the function of throwing the back. If you get into such, all the time of the flight to Vietnam – and this is 9 hours to Hanoy) and more – you will spend in a not too convenient position. Fraught with pain in the back and neck.
Monitors in the backs of chairs, however, are present. And during the flight you can entertain yourself with watching a movie or cartoon (a set of headphones can usually be found on seats when landing in a airliner).
Read more about how the seats are organized in the A330 Airbus salon, the most popular long -range aircraft used on flights from Moscow to Vietnam, for example, in this review – Otzovik.com/review_17266818.html.
The places in the business class, of course, are much more convenient, and the seats themselves are more in size.
We will not talk about prices within our review. We only note that the straight lines are naturally more expensive, and transit is cheaper. Much depends on the season – on how much it is a beach in one place or another on the coast.
From our point of view, in 2025, flying to Vietnam from Moscow is most reasonable on the “wings” of Chinese airlines. Because
- A. This is the cheapest
- B. It will be possible to choose a route minimizing or, conversely, maximizing (if you are not averse to look around in any of the China megacities), the interference time at the Chinese airport
Nutrition
On flights lasting more than 7 hours, hot two -time meals are provided. In the case of, for example, Aeroflot appears in the economy class menu:
And also: simple cheeses, salad leaves, croissants, butter and even chocolate dessert.
Business class passengers can count on fundamentally different dishes. For example, on
- Rostbifs and Karpaccio
- Baked pike perch with asparagus
- Kamchatka crab
- Food meat
As a snack, there may be an assortment of cheeses like Parmesan and Gorgonzola. For dessert, instead of a banal factory cake, pudding or even ice cream is offered.
