Vietnam Airlines Brings Back Hanoi to Moscow Flights – No More Airport Scavenger Hunts!
Good news, weary travelers! If you've had enough of multi-stop layovers that feel like a poorly planned world tour, Vietnam Airlines has swooped in to save the day. After a three-year break, the airline is dusting off its direct route between Hanoi and Moscow, officially relaunching flights on May 8, 2025.
What took so long? Well, let’s just say global events threw a few curveballs, but now, like a long-lost friend sliding back into your DMs, this route is making a triumphant return.

Two Flights a Week, Zero Unnecessary Detours
Starting in May, Vietnam Airlines will be operating two direct flights per week, meaning no more impromptu sightseeing in airports you never meant to visit. Here’s how it’s going down:
VN063 – Wheels up from Hanoi at 10:45 AM, touching down in Moscow at 3:40 PM (Tuesdays & Fridays)
VN062 – Departing Moscow at 5:40 PM, landing in Hanoi at 6:05 AM the next day (also Tuesdays & Fridays)
That’s right—no awkward overnight layovers, no sprinting through terminals like you’re in an Olympic qualifier, and no more calculating time zones like a part-time astronomer.
Why Should You Care?
Well, besides the sheer joy of avoiding transit purgatory, this revival is a win for both business and leisure travelers.
- For Vietnamese travelers: Moscow is back on the menu! Whether it’s for business, education, or just to see if Russian winters really are as dramatic as they look in movies (spoiler: they are).
- For Russian tourists: Pack those swimsuits—Vietnam’s beaches are calling! Say goodbye to snowdrifts and hello to fresh coconut water in Da Nang, Nha Trang, or Phu Quoc.
- For business ties: This route isn’t just about sunbathing; it’s a key link for trade, investment, and keeping those Vietnam-Russia partnerships strong.
- For students & expats: No more 30-hour puzzle-piece journeys back home. A direct flight means more time with loved ones and less time loitering in random airport lounges.
A Bold Move in the Aviation Game
Vietnam Airlines isn’t just reviving a flight—it’s making a strategic power play. Since 2022, many airlines have changed their approach to Russia, and Vietnam Airlines sees an opportunity to reconnect two major destinations. The result?
- Faster travel: No more handing your fate over to unpredictable layovers.
- More competition: Other airlines might start rethinking their Russia routes.
- Tourism boost: Vietnam’s hospitality scene is ready to roll out the red carpet for Russian visitors.
Final Boarding Call
So, whether you’re a business traveller, a sun-seeking tourist, or just someone who really, really dislikes complicated itineraries, this is your moment. Vietnam Airlines is bringing back the Hanoi-Moscow connection.
Pack your bags, brush up on your Russian, and get ready—because direct flights are back, baby!
