Cost: Approx total cost /pax is $1400 (without subsidy)

(*Note. National Youth Council will subsidize 50% of your allowable cost if you are between the age group of 15 to 35 years old. Of course, if we can canvass more funds, then the amount of money that we need to pay will be lower. This cost is based on the approximate amount. Prices are subject to increase in airport taxes and fuel surcharge. )

(*Note. The cost is relatively higher as compared to projects in China and Thailand. This is due to the fact that there is no direct flight from Singapore to Laos and hence, we will need to take transit flights in Thailand and a domestic flight in Laos. Also, the infra-structure in Laos is not that advanced. Hence, we need to pay more.)


Airline: Thai Air/ Laos Airway

(Note. Might consider budget airline if the savings is more than 50% or if the group comes to consensus.)
