When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $362 and peak in December near $931, 157% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 22.5 hours outbound, on a 44-night trip — ticketed under Sichuan Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $362 for 13,136 km each way, that works out to about $14 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 18 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Ho Chi Minh City, this is the cheapest right now — 27% under the next one, London. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 40 routes of similar length we watch out of Los Angeles. The best time to be in Ho Chi Minh City: Dec–Mar.

Good to know
LA → SGN, answered.
Is $362 a good price for Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $430 round-trip and this fare is 16% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Ho Chi Minh City are Dec–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LA → Ho Chi Minh City?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Sichuan Airlines. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
