Lao Airlines is resuming thrice-weekly scheduled flights to Singapore from Vientiane with effect from 29 October 2017 using its Airbus A320 aircraft.

On 29 October 2017, Lao Airlines flight QV535 departs from Vientiane for Singapore at 9.30 am, arrives in Singapore at 1.25 pm before leaving Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 for Vientiane at 2.15 pm and touching down in Vientiane at 4.10 pm under flight QV536.

Passengers going to Luang Prabang with Lao Airlines may transit in Vientiane for the same aircraft onward flight to Luang Prabang. QV535 arrives in Luang Prabang at 5.45 pm while QV536 left Luang Prabang for Singapore via Vientiane at 7.40 am on 29 October 2017.

Flights are conducted on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Lao Airlines is the only airline to operate a non-stop flight from Vientiane to Singapore. Its competitor SilkAir operates the circular route from Singapore to Luang Prabang via Vientiane before continuing the non-stop journey from Luang Prabang to Singapore.

For the recommencement of scheduled flights to Singapore from Luang Prabang and Vientiane, Lao Airlines has availed payment currencies in Lao Kip and Singapore Dollars, besides US Dollars, on Lao Airlines' web-site www.laoairlines.com. Round-trip air fare at the moment starts from 411 Singapore Dollars. This is reason for celebration as the US Dollar was used to be the only foreign currency acceptable on the web-site. 

Passengers travelling with Lao Airlines from Vientiane to the airline's other destinations including Guangzhou, Jinghong, Kunming, Suvarnabhumi, Busan and Seoul-Incheon can also pay in Lao Kip and Singapore Dollars on the web-site. Thai Baht, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won are not available foreign currencies for on-line payments.

Sayacinta - Airpost wish Lao Airlines to operate the direct route from Vientiane to Singapore all year round for the benefit of tourists.
