flight from Luang Prabang to Vientiane

We are hoping to fly from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. Does anyone have information about the best way to do this and is Lao airlines the only airline to fly this route. Also, is it best to buy a ticket at a tour company or is there an airline agent in Luang Prabang. Thanks!

Bob, best I know, Lao Airlines is the only carrier to fly. They fly ATR 72 craft (ie. this one route has their best planes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATR_72)

I have bought tickets online at http://www.laoairlines.com/ with no problem (and they were very helpful transporting my bike too). On the other hand, I have heard of people not having much success with the web site.

I know there is a ticket office at Vientiane airport so I suspect there is one in LP as well (its a short taxi ride from town). Otherwise there are many many travel agents in town who can help you.

Thanks so much that%26#39;s great.

I have also recently booked a ticket for this routing with Lao airlines on line without any bother.

Charge was $76 including tax

I%26#39;ve used the Lao website and they are very good but you MUST use internet explorer. I don%26#39;t normally - use firefox and the site just doesn%26#39;t work.
