Silkair Changes Laos Flights Late March

Silkair has announced that their Laos flights included into the service in 2016 will be changed at the end of March this year as currently a comparatively small number of Singaporeans travel to Laos. 

First the landing will be in Luang Prabang with a stop inVientiane on return. The latter might even be withdrawn from the route in thefuture as it is not as popular destination for tourists as Luang Prabang andtourists might prefer the shortest route. 

The new flight to Laos will take three hours and 10 minuteson Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays with the departure from Singapore for LuangPrabang at 9.00 am and arrival at the northern Lao town at 11.10 am local time.This departure time is preferable for European travellers arriving in ChangiAirport early in the morning to continue to Luang Prabang if they have booked aholiday only there. They arrive for an early afternoon hotel check-in and theycan check-out late morning to go to the airport for the 1.00 pm departure. Thus,there will be no need to request a late checkout.   

Silkair, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, flies to 53cities in 16 countries in Southeast Asia, India, China, Japan and Australia.
