Hi there, can someone recommend the best way to reach Hanoi from Luang P? Is there a regular frequency?

What are the costs & duration involved?

Many thanks in advance

Flying Laos airways by the look - we have not done this, but have been researching in and out of LP for our upcoming holiday. Its not an easy place to get in and out of, so it seems. A more seasoned traveller may come up with some better advice though?

You have to go back Vientiane to take a flight or bus to Hanoi.

There are 2 international borders :Cau Treo and LaoBao.Hanoi bus start at Vientiane

By Land : Bus from Vientiane to Hanoi cross border at Cau Treo,take about 22-24 hours,I'm not sure about bus ticket price might be about 30USD.(4 years ago I took this route,its cost 25USD.)

By Air : take a flight from Vientiane to Hanoi,but have no idea about its cost.

I'm waiting for international border opening at Dien Bien Phu, it this point has opened it's easier to get Dien Bien Phu by land, but not for getting Hanoi anyway,because the road is not good.
