How many hours does it take to fly from Vietnam to USA?

Okay, so you’re wondering how long that flight is from Vietnam to the USA? Ugh, just thinking about it makes my butt hurt! Haha. Well, buckle up, buttercup, because it’s a long one.

Generally, you’re looking at around 14.5 hours in the air. Yeah, you read that right. Half a day practically stuck on a plane. I remember flying from Hanoi to Los Angeles once – I swear, I aged like, five years on that flight! So boring!

Now, get this: right now, it seems like Vietnam Airlines is the only one doing a direct flight. They say it’s about 14 hours and 30 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) straight to San Francisco. That’s pretty darn good, honestly. Imagine being able to watch, like, seven movies straight! I mean, if you could sleep during it, even better!

But, if you end up on a flight with a layover? Oh boy, hold on to your hat! It’s gonna be way, WAY longer. Think like, adding several hours, easy. You know, waiting in airports, maybe even having to spend a night somewhere. I’ve done that before… not fun! Honestly, if you can swing the direct flight, even if it’s a little more expensive, it might just be worth it for your sanity! Just saying!
