Excellent multicity value combining Vietnam and India, with baggage included and two useful direct flight sectors.
Two very different Asian countries in one well-designed trip
This multicity journey combines Vietnam and India within one efficient Air India itinerary, avoiding the need to return to the original destination before flying home.
The complete trip is available from €468 through online travel agencies, while Air India sells the same itinerary directly for €476.
With a difference of only €8, Dino recommends booking directly with Air India. The small OTA saving is unlikely to justify the additional complication if a schedule changes or assistance is required.
Cabin baggage and checked baggage are included, making this much more useful than a basic long-haul fare that permits only a small personal item.
Only the first journey requires a connection in Delhi. The flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Delhi and from Delhi to Vienna are direct, creating a practical balance between price, routing and travel time.
Confirmed availability
15 nights in Vietnam + 6 nights in India
14 nights in Vietnam + 8 nights in India
12 nights in Vietnam + 8 nights in India
The cheapest OTA fare is €468, while the direct Air India price is €476.
For a difference of only €8, booking directly with Air India is the more sensible option, particularly for a multicity itinerary involving three separate flight sectors.
Before paying, confirm the exact cabin and checked-baggage allowance, fare-change rules, operating aircraft and that every flight is included on the same protected ticket.
Recommended option: the 24 September departure provides 12 nights in Vietnam and 8 nights in India, creating a well-balanced three-week journey.
Vietnam suggestion: spend 3–4 nights in Ho Chi Minh City, add 1–2 nights in the Mekong Delta and use the remaining time for Phu Quoc, Da Nang and Hoi An, or another part of Vietnam.
India suggestion: eight nights are enough for Delhi, Agra and Jaipur without making the final section of the trip excessively rushed.
Best for: adventurous travellers, multicity enthusiasts, couples and anyone who wants to combine Southeast Asia with India without booking separate long-haul tickets.
Less ideal for: travellers who want a short holiday, a premium airline experience or a simple single-destination itinerary.

For €15, Dino can personally research flight options for your trip — including alternative routes, nearby airports, baggage rules, layovers, airline quality and possible hidden costs.
Where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City: excellent comfort at very affordable prices
In Vietnam, comfort and affordability often go hand in hand, and Ho Chi Minh City is no exception. Travellers can find attractive, well-rated 4 and 5-star hotels with modern rooms, swimming pools and excellent facilities from around €50 per night.
When travelling as a couple, that works out at just €25 per person per night — outstanding value for a high-standard hotel in one of Southeast Asia’s most energetic cities.
Our sample search covered 25 September to 7 October. However, Vietnam offers far more than bustling city life, so it may be better to spend only part of the trip in Ho Chi Minh City and adjust the hotel dates to match your wider itinerary.
A stay of three or four nights is usually enough to explore the main sights, enjoy the food scene and take a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels or Mekong Delta. The remaining nights can then be used for beaches, islands, historic towns or another part of Vietnam.
Dino tip: compare hotels in areas such as District 1 for central sightseeing, District 3 for a more local atmosphere, or riverside neighbourhoods for quieter surroundings and modern properties. Always check recent reviews, room size and the exact location before booking.

Where to stay in Delhi: plenty of choice, but reviews matter
Delhi also offers an impressive range of affordable accommodation, from simple guesthouses to modern hotels with pools, restaurants and airport transfers. The number of options can make it possible to find a comfortable stay without spending heavily.
However, travellers should choose carefully. Hotel photos in India can sometimes look more impressive than the property does in reality — something Dino has experienced first-hand. A polished listing does not always guarantee the same standard on arrival.
Before booking, read recent guest reviews across more than one platform. Pay particular attention to comments about cleanliness, maintenance, noise, hot water, air conditioning, breakfast quality, the surrounding neighbourhood and whether the room received matches the advertised photos.
Our sample search covered 7 October to 15 October. Travellers planning the Golden Triangle should remember that they may not need to remain in Delhi for the entire stay. It can be better to divide the nights between Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
For Delhi itself, areas such as Connaught Place are convenient for sightseeing, while Aerocity can be practical before or after a flight. South Delhi also offers many well-rated options, although travel times should be checked carefully because the city is extremely large.
Dino tip: avoid choosing the cheapest property based on photos alone. A hotel with consistently strong recent reviews, a slightly higher price and a reliable location can provide much better overall value.
