The most effective and quickest way to travel to Phu Quoc is to fly. From inland Vietnam to Phu Quoc Island, there are several airlines (including budget ones) operate flights every day with affordable prices and varied schedules. One tip is to book ahead of time with budget airlines. This might actually be a better option than to travel with far less comfortable and more time-consuming methods of transportation.
From Hanoi or Danang, you can fly directly to Phu Quoc Airport. This takes roughly 1.5-2 hours and costs around 65 US$ for a one-way course. Budget airlines like Vietjet, Jetstar, or Bamboo Airways all fly this route. If you’re opting for a higher quality option, Vietnam Airlines is your number one choice.

The flight from Ho Chi Minh city to Phu Quoc is essentially the same. You can fly directly with Jetstar or Vietjet for around 25 US$, although this price doesn’t include checked baggage. Obviously, the sooner you book your flight, the better chance of getting a bargaining price you will have.
