I have heard horrible things about the bus from Vientiane to Hanoi and wonder if flying direct is an option?

What airlines would do this?

Thanks

The bus trip is horrible! You can also check out Air Asia (http://www.airasia.com/site/la/en/home.jsp), they can fly you via Kuala Lumpur - but a direct flight is probably cheaper (and a lot more convenient).

Remember to have a visa ready already in Laos! At least back in 2005, it was not possible to get a visa on arrival in Hanoi. I was lucky enough to be reminded like 1 hour before my flight... which resulted in incredible stress!
