Vientiane Airport Transfer – Offered by your hotel

Most high end hotels offer free airport transfer when you book a room with them, and some cheaper hotels can arrange a pick up and/drop off for you for a fee. You might want to check with your hotel before spending a great deal of time and effort trying to arrange it yourself as the price you pay might not that be a big different. 

Vientiane Airport Transfer – Airport Shuttle Bus

Supper Cheap (around USD2.00), convenient, comfortable with air-conditioning plus free Wifi on board. If you are not in a rush to reach your destination, and want to save a bit of money this may an option for you. It is slower than taking a taxi for sure as it makes quite many stops along the way though it stops only at the official bus stops as stated on the map and its timetable.

Tickets are sold at the booth in the arrival area near the exit. 

The airport shuttle bus runs in a loop, originating at the Central Bus Station next to Morning Market, passing through several hotels.

There is a bus every 40 minutes with the first one departing the station at 8:05am, and returning from the airport at 9:00.  The last bus from the bus station is at 9:35pm and from the airport is at 10:20pm. 

If you are not in a hurry and don’t mind getting from the bus stop (walking a short distance or in some cases taking a Tuk- Tuk) to your accommodation, this Vientiane Airport transfer option is the way to go. Even if you run into a congested bus, it will still be Ok as it is only a short ride 10-15 minutes. The airport is only about 5 kilometers from city center.

Vientiane Airport Transfer – Airport Taxi

Vientiane Airport Taxi counterTaxi counter at Wattay International Airport, Vientiane

Convenient, getting to your destination fast and comfortable, door-to-door, not supper cheap but affordable, may have to wait in the line a bit.

Airport taxi is available at both international and domestic terminals. The taxi counter is located at the arrival hall, when you walk out from the baggage claim area you will see the taxi counter right beside the exit gate. 

Buy a taxi coupon at the counter, fee starts from USD8.00. Once you have your coupon, a designated driver will help you with your luggage and leads you to the car/van. Most drivers speak some English.

Airport Transfer – Private Taxi

Convenient, can book in advance, probably costs a bit more than airport taxi but you have peace of mind knowing you will be picked up as soon as you exit the terminal, no waiting, no line up.

As the name suggests it is a private taxi, you have the whole vehicle to yourself/selves. The price is per car (or minivan) not per person. A car can carry 3 or 4 people and a minivan can carry up to 7 people.

Private taxi

I would recommend it if you travel in a group of friends or family especially with small children. It is easier to hop on a taxi as soon as getting out of the arrival terminal instead of having to wait in the line and dragging your luggage with small children in tow. Most drivers are helpful and speak good English, so…your journey will be smooth and hassle free.
