Private jet charter in Laos

Landlocked Laos is reached from London through three airports that keep daytime hours, and the sector itself, about 5,830 nautical miles on the route we plan, has to be timed so that the aircraft lands inside them. Private Jets UK plans the fuel stop, files the landing permit and matches the airport to the part of the country you are heading for. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Laos that means a permit from the Department of Civil Aviation, a daytime arrival at Vientiane, Luang Prabang or Pakse, and a handler who can say in writing which of them will take your aircraft on your date.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter to Laos depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from London Biggin Hill, an Embraer Praetor 600 to Vientiane with one technical stop in Dubai and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Laos?

Laos keeps Indochina Time, seven hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and six ahead of British Summer Time, with no change of clocks. A departure from London in the morning lands after dark local time, which matters here, because all three airports keep daytime hours. The sectors below start at London Biggin Hill, use the lowest-priced aircraft that can fly them and count about an hour on the ground for the technical stop:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Laos

Typical one-way prices from Britain, cheapest first. The Embraer Praetor 600 heads the list because it reaches Laos with a single stop in Dubai at a lower hourly rate than any other aircraft that can do so. The larger cabins further down are chosen for size or for a flight without a stop, and every figure includes the stop shown in its row:

 

 

Private jet flights within Laos and to its neighbours

Laos is long and thin, and the distances inside it are short by jet standards. Vientiane to Luang Prabang is 122 nautical miles, Vientiane to Pakse 262, and Bangkok, Hanoi and Chiang Mai all lie within about 280 nautical miles of one of the three airports. The figures show scale rather than a firm quote, because a foreign aircraft needs a permit for each landing:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

 

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Laos:

 

 

For a sector this long we look for an aircraft positioned in the Gulf or in South-East Asia as well as in Britain, so the dates should reach us while they can still move.

Business aviation airports in Laos

A foreign aircraft lands only where its permit says it may, so the airport is chosen together with the permit:

 

Five rules shape every arrival:

 

Arriving from Britain: visa, digital form and the general declaration

Three things are checked on the way in: the traveller, the aircraft and the papers that tie them together.

Coming home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation for Britain. The first landing must be at an aerodrome that is regulated for customs, since a landing at an unregulated one carries a fine of £2,500.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Laos

Start from the bed and work back to the runway:

 

Vientiane, Luang Prabang and the south: what our clients go for

Vientiane is a small capital on a wide bend of the Mekong. Government offices and embassies are close together, the Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge to Thailand is a short drive away, and the golden stupa of That Luang is the national symbol and the focus of the biggest festival of the year.

Luang Prabang takes the leisure traffic. The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with temples, a morning alms procession of monks and a riverside of small hotels, and most visitors add the Kuang Si waterfalls outside town.

The south is the quiet half of the country. Champasak holds the Khmer temple of Wat Phou, another World Heritage site, and the Bolaven Plateau grows the coffee that Laos is known for. Pakse is the practical base for both.

 

Lao seasons: cool, hot and wet

The year divides into three seasons, and the weather matters more to the roads and to the northern airport than to the flight itself:

 

The Lao calendar: new year, rockets and the That Luang festival

Most of the dates below follow the lunar calendar and move from one year to the next:

 

 

Flying to Laos with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat can fly to Laos in the cabin of a private jet, but the paperwork starts weeks ahead, and the way home is the harder half.

Britain's rules for the return are stricter. Laos is treated as a non-listed country, and for a dog or a cat coming from such a country Britain requires a Great Britain pet health certificate issued in the last ten days and a rabies blood test:

• A rabies vaccination first, then a blood sample taken at least 30 days after it, sent by the vet to an approved laboratory, with a result of 0.5 IU/ml or higher;
• A wait of three months from the date of the sample before the animal may travel to Britain, and the sample stays valid for as long as the rabies vaccinations are kept up to date;
• A Great Britain pet health certificate for the journey;
• For a dog, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain;
• Quarantine for up to four months if the rules are not met.

The sensible plan is to have the sample taken at home in Britain, months before departure, so that the three months have run out before the flight back. A sample taken in Vientiane means waiting out the three months there. For a private flight we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Other destinations, and the general rules for travelling with an animal on a private jet, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin vacant, and so it is priced low rather than flown for nothing.

A client who can move by a week or two has the best chance. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Lao empty legs follows, at roughly 40 percent of a fresh charter:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Laos the helicopter is a tool for mountains and for the first stretch out of an airport. The names we can give are few:

A helicopter suits a short hop out of Vientiane or a look at the river and the temples from above, not a long run between cities. In the wet season, from June to October, flying is planned around the afternoon storms and low cloud over the hills.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Laos

London sends most of the traffic on this route, with Manchester, Birmingham and the Scottish airfields behind it; the price table higher up covers thirteen pairings across Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Pakse. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services.
