International Air Travel to Vietnam
I just got a kick ass deal flying from western Canada to Manila return on Air China for $899.00 Canadian. The only kicker is that there is a four hour layover in Vancouver and Taiwan. I have always flown Philippine Airlines because it has a direct flight from Vancouver however their prices are currently about $1,550. For the savings I will take the scenic route this time. Last year I went to Vietnam and Cambodia for a non mongering trip with family but had a great time so I want to go back on my own this time.
I expect I will spend most of my time in Cebu before heading to Saigon. Does anyone have suggestions about reputable discount airlines that fly to Saigon out of Cebu or will I likely have to fly out of Manila? I know from previous experience that booking flights throughout Asia is cheaper when you are there. I am planning on Saigon first, only because I have been chatting with a lady on DIA in Saigon and if we get alone I may ask her to tag along with me to Cambodia.
The second question relates to my visitors visa to enter Vietnam. As a Canadian I am required to have one. As I don't have exact travel dates I don't think I can apply for a visa until I know the exact date I will arrive in Vietnam. Does anyone have suggestions about making the application for the visa from the Philippines once I know the dates?
Thanks for any help.
