Are there currently any regular or irregular flights between Vientiane and Sam Neua? According to the website Lao Airlines do not any longer offer this service. Does anyone know of any other air service to this region?

No -- if Lao Airlines isn't flying the route anymore then overland is the only means to get there.

Lao Air (not Lao Airlines) flies to Sam Neua a few times a week, they won't have any information on the internet, you'll have to get your ticket from a local travel agent when you arrive in Vientiane

It is a long ride from phonsavan, but it is spectacular. That part of the country has some great scenery. Be sure to take some snacks with you!
