Vientiane is the capital of Laos, and its airport, the Vientiane International Airport (VTE) is the busiest hub in the country, and welcomes in most of the international flights to Laos. The airport, commonly referred to as the Wattay International Airport, sees over a million passengers annually, and is the operations base for the flag carrier, Lao Airlines and Lao Central Airlines. Traditionally, this facility also functions as an important military hub for the nation.
The location of the airport has much to recommend it, primarily that it is a mere hop, skip and a jump from central Vientiane. Situated 5km outside of the CBD, getting to and from the airport is a cinch. In terms of provisions, you can access important amenities like cash machines to take out your holiday cash, and currency exchange services in case you need to change it over to Laotian currency.
There are restaurants you can grab a bite in, a bar you can enjoy a drink in, and a duty-free shop you can browse while you wait. There is also an internet café, and an information desk if you need a little direction.
Fly to Vientiane with carriers like Thai Airways, China Eastern, Emirates, Bangkok Airways, Vietnam Airlines, SilkAir, Korean Air and Singapore Airlines will offer connecting routes to this city from Australia.
