Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

7 Hanoi moments to consider booking ahead.
Hoan Kiem Lake & the Old Quarter
The lake and Ngoc Son temple sit at the heart of the 36-street Old Quarter; the surrounding roads close to traffic on weekend evenings.
Train Street
A narrow residential lane where the railway runs metres from the cafes; trains pass on a posted timetable and the track is cleared beforehand.
Egg coffee and bun cha
Egg coffee (ca phe trung) was invented here; bun cha — grilled pork with noodles — is the city’s signature lunch.
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex
The mausoleum, One Pillar Pagoda, and Presidential Palace gardens sit in one walkable compound; strict dress code and fixed morning hours.
Day trip to Ninh Binh
Limestone karsts and river caves (Trang An, Tam Coc) about two hours south by road or train — often called the inland version of Ha Long Bay.
Overnight trip to Ha Long Bay
Cruise boats to the UNESCO-listed bay leave from Ha Long and Lan Ha; most are sold as one- or two-night packages with transfers from Hanoi.
Water puppet theatre
The Thang Long theatre near Hoan Kiem stages traditional mua roi nuoc puppetry over water, with live folk musicians.

Small things travellers like to know about Hanoi.
- Hanoi has no metro that tourists use widely yet — Grab (cars and motorbikes) is the simplest way around; agree airport transfers in advance.
- Traffic crosses constantly — step out at a steady pace and let scooters flow around you rather than stopping suddenly.
- Carry small dong notes for street food and markets; many stalls and older shops don’t take cards.
- Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh are long day trips — an overnight stay makes the travel time worthwhile rather than rushing both ways.
