What’s the best rate on Jackson, MS to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in April?

Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, and end up getting charged double.

Sorry, no inside knowledge on this route. I’d start with the old faithful resources — ITA, Kayak, Cfares, Flights, Mobissimo, Fly, Momondo, etc.

Also consider 2 tickets if you find a discount airline going from another airport that is cheap enough to make it worthwhile. From Hong Kong, Seoul, or Bangkok, for example (just guessing). Skyscanner shows low-cost service from Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand; I didn’t click through to see which airports, but assuming SIN, KUL, and BKK. So if a consolidator has a good offer to one of those, consider a 1-2 day stopover, then onward with Air Asia X, Jetstar, etc. — could be a way to get 2 trips out of this, and still save on the airfare. But if that doesn’t interest you, then Flights or other consolidators might have a decent offer without any of these hassles.
