 The main (and only) building by SirRichard
I took there a flight to Vientiane, that took 40 minutes with Lao Aviation (45 USD).
There is a little shop, a cafeteria and 2 waiting rooms. No airport taxes, as U won't leave the country from here. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Lao Airlinesis the national carrier and monopolises most flights into Laos. We flew with Bangkok Airways, and had our usual great flight with them. The airport is very small, but was remarkably efficient when we landed. We had our visas already stuck in our passports, having purchased them in Oz, and we were processed through very quickly.
Exiting the terminal (barely big enough to call it this!), we were ushered to a waiting jumbo, and taken into town in this airy transport. Theme: Airplane

 Thai Air landed at Luang
Prabang by muddybok
Since my trip is cutting short, my mode of transport also changed from inexpensive road/river transport to flying into Luang Prabang. Of course the flight schedule also bothering me the most.
How do I move my fat ass from Kuala Lumpur & finally arrived at Luang Prabang?
1) Kuala Lumpur - Bangkok (AirAsia)
2) Bangkok - Chiang Mai (Thai Air - Executive Class, transit at Chiang Mai) Sh!t man, economy class ran out
3) Chiang Mai - Luang Prabang (Thai Air) - see pic Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 LaoAirlines by xuessium
From Singapore, make your way to Bangkok. There are 2 airlines flying into Luang Prabang directly from Bangkok: The more expensive Bangkok Airways and the more economical Lao Airlines.
Journey is 2 hours each way. Airplane used is the ATR-72, with propellers and with 2 stewardesses on board.
Meals are simple, and served efficiently. Don't expect any form of entertainment except for the inflight magazine....and there is no duty-free shopping.
Curiously enough, on both flights, me and my mate are the only Asians!
You can buy Lao Airlines tickets in Singapore via their agent, Maple Aviation:

We flew to and from Vientiane. The ticket was cheap and the journey took around 40mins once airborne. The view as you approach Luang Prabang is amazing.
Don't expect much of the airport though. It is little more than a landing strip and a small building.
The plane was also quite old and had cargo nets rather than luggage lockers! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I did an overland travel from Bangkok to Vientaine by bus. It was a great journey, basically slept throughout the way from Bangkok till the next morning in Nong Khai. From Nong Khai there are tuk tuk service for about 20-30bt to the Thai Immigration Complex. After getting your passort stamp you can easily hop into a mini bus that service both the Thai and Laos immigration complex across the Friendship Bridge.
On the Laos site there is suppossingly a bus that run from the the complex to Vientaine but I took a taxi for 60bt per person.
I would not say this is the best but I wanted to see the Friendship Bridge.
Around Vientiane, I would suggest you to rent a bicycle as the city isn't very big but its really dusty. But you will be able to cover the whole Vientiane in a day with a Bicycle.
In Luang Prabang, a bicycle will also do the job but if you are going to Pak Ou Cave (don't waste your time and money if you are travelling alone, too far and expensive to be on the boat) or Koung Si Waterfall you might be able to experience the boat on the Mekong River. I was on a shared boat and paid USD7 per person for 2 days to Pak Ou and Kong Si Waterfall.
Tuk Tuk is also available around Luang but why waste the money if you can walk around the town by foot. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Lao Airlines Plane by icyjo24
It is cheapest to fly to Luang Prabang by Lao Airlines from Chiangmai. The ticket cost about US$70 dollars . I paid 2805 Baht for it. Try to get the tickets from Lao Airline Office directly as it is cheaper this way. I have asked several travel agencies but the prices they quote me are much higher, between 2900 to 3,300 Baht.
Remember to keep 500 Baht for the International Departure Tax from Chiangmai International Airport. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
