- Choose strategic transit airports:For flights with layovers, major and modern transit airports such as Doha (Qatar), Dubai (UAE), Istanbul (Turkey), Singapore, Taipei (Taiwan), or Seoul (South Korea) often have more connecting flights and optimized waiting times. Avoid small airports or those with fewer flights to minimize the risk of flight delays.
- Check transit times carefully:A flight with a short total duration is not necessarily the best if the transit waiting time is too long or too short. Ideally, the waiting time should be between 2-4 hours to allow enough time for transfer without having to wait too long.
- Book early:International flights, especially for long and complex journeys like to France, often have better prices and more options when booked several months in advance. This also gives you more opportunities to find flight segments optimized for time.
- Use flight comparison tools:Websites and apps like Skyscanner, Google Flights, Trip.com, Kayak, Traveloka, or Expedia are useful tools for comparing ticket prices, flight times, and layover options from various airlines. Use filters to find the fastest or cheapest flights according to your needs.
- Check visa requirements:Ensure you have thoroughly researched the entry visa requirements for France (part of the Schengen area) and transit visas for any countries where you will be stopping over. Vietnamese citizens require a Schengen visa to enter France.
