Do I need a travel agent ?

@Johnny Helmsteadt

Use skyscanner or kayak or the www of Airlines. If you use agent you'll pay much more.

Hello everyone,
i plan to go to Hanoi soon for Tet.

my travel dates can be flexible.

i can arrive on or before January 15 2023 and return on February 6 2023 - or several days before or after.

i am unable to search with all of these different possibilities of travel dates.

I am hopeful someone can offer some guidance to me, because the prices vary very much.

thank you

Hello Johnny Helmsteadt, and welcome to expat.com.

I'm a little confused as to your question. Travel from where? From the United States? From another region in VN to Hanoi?

If you could give us additional details that would help.

Hi Johnny,

As mentioned you can expect to pay more for an Agent do do all the leg work for you, by the sounds of your question you may benefit from one helping you.

If you would like to try using apps or online booking like Skyscanner just put in your departure Airport and Destination and your 1st date then search.

There is a filter on left side to get rid of any expensive/cheap airlines you don't wish to fly with also if there are too many stops etc.

When you find something that looks ok, click on the date at the top to check out other dates to see if there are any cheaper prices, apps like Traveloka if you don't put return date you can click on the calendar for departure and all the prices show up, green is normally the cheap flights.

Then do same for return flight dates and pick the one that is in your budget range and not too many stops etc.

Or if it is all too baffling for you, put your departure Airport and maybe some members have specific info for your city.

Iv'e sent you a PM of a screen shot of what to look for to see the different prices.
