songbird newbie Posts: 2	#1 Posted: 6/11/2009 - 04:40 We are planning next month's trip to Laos and wanted to fly VTE - Phongsali and then meander slowly downriver to LP. However, the Lao Air website now announces that it stopped flying to Phongsali (and 2 other destinations) on 1st Nov. They recommend looking at Lao Capricorn Air but that seems to be only freight. Is it still possible to fly to Phongsali and if so with which airline? I think a major rethink is on the cards!

I've read they have just the one place (a Czech made LET L410 which seats just 19 pax)... I'd recommend flying into Udonxai (from Vientiane) and making your way north from there. Hope that helps Helpful? 0 ------------------------------ Siem Reap and Angkor Wat on your iPhone
