Wholly owned by Laos's influential Phongsavanh business group, LCA is embarking on a major expansion to strengthen its initial target market _ Laos-Thailand _ and extend its reach to various key Asean cities.
On the radar screen for the longer term is the debut of intercontinental flights, to Europe, from LCA's Vientiane hub with the acquisition of Boeing 777 long-range wide-body jets, LCA chief executive Savanhphone Phongsavanh told the Bangkok Post.
Setting the stage for the aggressive regional expansion of LCA, which only took to the skies in May 2012, is the roll-in of a fleet of Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100s that commenced last month.
The Vientiane-based full-service airline signed a contract with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Co in March 2011 for three single-aisle SSJ100s in a two-class configuration with 93 seats, with an option for an additional six jets.
LCA received the first SSJ100 on Feb 15, making it the first operator of such aircraft in Southeast Asia.
It has also set firm dates for taking delivery of the second and third SSJ100s, in May and August this year.
With the service entry of the three SSJ100s, which are joining LCA's original fleet consisting of two old Boeing 737-400s, the airline intends to gradually launch more than seven international routes in the region.
Over the next few months, LCA will begin regular service from Khon Kaen to Luang Prabang, the second Thailand-Laos route after Bangkok-Vientiane, LCA's first and only international route, said Mrs Savanhphone, the daughter of Laotian tycoon Od Phongsavanh.
Six other international routes in the pipeline are Vientiane to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kunming.

Laos réfléchit régional régime de visa unique
Laos envisage l'introduction de visas d'entrée unique pour rationaliser touristique dans l'espoir d'attirer plus de visiteurs et de stimuler la croissance dans l'industrie.
Voisins Thaïlande et le Cambodge ont récemment signé un accord pour permettre aux touristes étrangers d'entrer dans l'autre pays en utilisant un visa, ce qui rend les deux pays, le premier dans la région à introduire le régime.
Une délégation lao envisage de se rendre au Cambodge, peut-être à la fin de ce mois, pour étudier l'expérience du Cambodge en ce qui concerne le régime des visas unique et les procédures impliquées, un haut responsable du département consulaire du ministère des Affaires étrangères a déclaré au Vientiane Times hier.
«Le Cambodge a répondu à notre demande concernant la visite d'étude», at-il dit. «Nous sommes impatients de savoir si les droits de visa est partagée et, si c'est le cas, comment cela se fait."
Il ya eu de nombreux appels à des entreprises de la région en encourageant leurs gouvernements à adopter une politique de visa unique.
Le dernier appel est venu la semaine dernière lors de la 5e Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Stratégie de coopération économique (ACMECS) tenu à Vientiane. ACMECS dirigeants et représentants d'entreprises des pays membres - Cambodge, Laos, Myanmar, Thaïlande et Vietnam - se sont réunis en marge du sommet pour discuter de la question.
Le secteur des entreprises a encouragé les autres pays à ACMECS suivre l'exemple de la Thaïlande et du Cambodge et d'introduire le régime des visas unique en 2015.
"La mise en place progressive d'un régime ACMECS visa unique aiderait à promouvoir la réalisation des« cinq pays, une destination "Concept", a déclaré le président du Conseil ACMECS conjointe d'affaires, M. Kissana Vongsay.
M. Kissana, qui est président de la Chambre nationale lao du Commerce et de l'Industrie, a présenté un rapport à la réunion des dirigeants de l'ACMECS, qui a été convenu par les entreprises concernées.
Président par intérim de l'Association des Agents de Voyages Laos, M. Khamtanh Keungpan Nha, a déclaré que si le visa unique est introduite, elle encouragerait beaucoup plus de gens à visiter le Laos.
Il a ajouté que la question a été discutée lors du Forum Asean Tourism récente qui a eu lieu à Vientiane en Novembre.
Directeur général de l'Institut national de recherche économique, le Dr Liber Libuapao, a suggéré qu'il y aurait plus d'avantages que la perte économique si le régime a été mis en place.
Mais il a recommandé qu'il devrait y avoir un mécanisme pour partager les frais de visa. Si non, alors, pour plusieurs raisons Laos pourraient être désavantagés.
Dr Liber dit l'inconvénient potentiel est en grande partie dû au fait que le Laos est généralement considérée par les touristes comme deuxième destination plutôt que leur seul primaire, donc les frais de visa serait perçue par le premier pays visité.
Laos n'a pas de vols directs avec de nombreux pays, mais d'autres dans la région de faire. Les touristes peuvent tout simplement payer pour un visa dans un de ces pays et voyager au Laos, ce qui signifie d'autres pays bénéficieraient tandis que le Laos serait perdante, le Dr Liber dit.
À l'heure actuelle, les touristes entrent dans le Laos doit payer des frais de visa entre US $ 14 et US $ 42 en fonction de leur nationalité.
L'an dernier, 3,3 millions de touristes ont visité le Laos.

Détenue en totalité par le Laos du groupe d'affaires influent Phongsavanh, LCA se lance dans une expansion majeure de renforcer son marché cible initial _ Laos-Thaïlande _ et d'étendre sa portée aux différentes villes clés de l'ANASE.

Préparer le terrain pour l'expansion agressive régional de l'ACV, qui n'a pris son envol en mai 2012, est le roll-in d'une flotte de fabrication russe Sukhoi Superjet 100, qui a commencé le mois dernier.
La base de Vientiane plein service aérien signé un contrat avec Sukhoi Aircraft Co civile en Mars 2011 pour trois monocouloirs SSJ100s dans une configuration bi-classe avec 93 sièges, avec une option pour une période supplémentaire de six jets.

Il a également fixé des dates fermes pour prendre livraison des SSJ100s deuxième et troisième, en mai et en Août de cette année.
Avec l'entrée en service des trois SSJ100s, qui vont rejoindre la flotte d'origine LCA constitué de deux vieux Boeing 737-400s, la compagnie a l'intention de lancer progressivement plus de sept routes internationales dans la région.
Au cours des prochains mois, l'ACV entrera en service régulier de Khon Kaen à Luang Prabang, le second Thaïlande-Laos route après Bangkok-Vientiane, LCA première route et seulement internationale, a déclaré Mme Savanhphone, la fille du magnat du Laos Phongsavanh Od.

Hi there,
we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure...
I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not?
Thanks for any insights...
Hi everyone,
I bought a new apartment in Pattaya that will be finished at the end of 2013, and I’d like to buy more later...
I think it’s a good investment idea, but I’d love to hear from those of you with experience—what do you think? I’d also like to know how to handle rentals... Should I go through agencies, or are they usually rented out directly by the building management companies?
Thanks in advance for your replies! 🙂
Hi everyone,
I have to leave for Perth, Australia in a week, for 7 days, and I couldn’t get my international driver’s permit due to processing and delivery delays.
The information I’ve found about whether an international permit is required is contradictory. Some sources say you need one, others say you don’t.
Could anyone let me know if an international driver’s permit is necessary to rent a car in Australia (Perth), or if a French license is enough for a 7-day rental?
hi everyone,
I need to apply for a new eTA for Canada.
do I need the number from my old eTA or not?
because I can’t find my old eTA number anymore.
thanks for your replies, have a great weekend
Hi there,
I know there are similar topics here and elsewhere, but they’re a few years old, and I need an up-to-date answer to make sure I don’t throw over 1000 € out the window. Thanks for your patience.
I’m planning a trip from France to Alberta/British Columbia, and I’m unsure about which bank card to use for the security deposit with the rental company (I’m thinking of going with AVIS).
I contacted Avis Canada, and they told me a credit card is absolutely required. I asked my bank for a credit card (a *real* credit card), but they only offered me a deferred debit card.
My question: For a rental with Avis Canada, is a Gold International Mastercard deferred debit card usable for the security deposit needed to finalize the rental? Is the "CREDIT" label enough? (Some cards say "CREDIT" and others say "CARTE DE CREDIT"—seems minor, but it’s actually a big deal in how the card works.)
I’ve seen conflicting info everywhere I look... My bank says it’s *usually* okay (the deferred debit card), while Avis Canada insists it *must* be a credit card, not debit—even when I mention the deferred debit card.
I know the whole credit card concept is already confusing, and on top of that, some sites say a deferred debit card counts as a credit card, while others say it doesn’t.
Thanks to anyone who can share a recent experience!
Have a great day
Hello everyone,
Could a resident of Benin (Cotonou) kindly let me know which is the best mobile phone and internet service provider?
Thank you very much,

Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi everyone,
I’ll explain my situation.
Unfortunately, I lost my passport, and I only realized it two weeks before my departure for a humanitarian mission in Libya. I’m a nurse, and this mission really means a lot to me.
First, I applied for an emergency passport, but it was denied by the Val-d'Oise prefecture on the grounds that a planned humanitarian mission wasn’t considered an urgent reason.
So, I submitted a biometric passport application on July 20th. Since then, the tracking has been stuck, and the town hall can’t (or won’t) give me any clear information. Every time I call, I get a different story. The last update I received was that the passport had been produced since July 23rd with a status of "about to be shipped," but nothing since then.
I’ve managed to push my departure back to next Tuesday at the latest, but I’m starting to really panic.
Have any of you submitted an application around July 20th, especially in Val-d'Oise (95)? How long did you wait between the passport being produced and it being available at the town hall? Is it normal for this step to take this long?
This mission means so much to me. I had everything organized, and I’m also supposed to attend a friend’s wedding right after near the border.
Thanks so much to those who take the time to respond or share their experience. 😔
Can anyone tell me exactly if a passport "valid for the duration of the stay" is enough, or does it need to be valid for 6 months after the trip?
I checked the embassy’s website, but that info is missing.
Hi there,
I’ll be arriving in Seoul on November 18th after spending about a month in India.
Do you know if I’ll need to fill out any additional documents besides the e-arrival card?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
I’m a bit embarrassed because I need to travel to Quebec from February 27th to March 13th. I’m a regular visitor to Canada—this will be my 10th trip since 1997, plus a year as a permanent resident (2000–2001) and a cross-country run from Vancouver to Halifax in 2011. So, I’m definitely not a terrorist!
But since our last trip in July 2015, they’ve introduced this eTA thing. Seems more like a way to make money than to actually secure Canada, if you ask me, but anyway, that’s not the point.
I applied for an eTA for myself, my wife, and our two kids. They all got approved within hours, but not me! I was asked to create a GC key and then an IRCC account, which I did. Normally, you get news within 72 hours, but since Monday, January 15th, nothing!
In the "message" section of the account, it says "explanation letter (required)" with a deadline of January 25th, but I can’t find any explanation anywhere—despite searching the Canadian government website and Google. No links, nothing!
I’ve emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m thinking of calling the Canadian embassy in Paris tomorrow. Even though I’m not stressing yet, it’d be a bummer if everyone else got to go without me!
If anyone’s had this issue before or knows what this explanation letter is about, I’d love to hear more.
hi there
I’m heading to Seoul in September, and to do that I need to get a travel authorization that we apply for through K-ETA....... turns out I can (barely, I admit) fill out the form up to the address of our "stay location," but every address I’ve entered has been rejected by the system. I’ve tried my hotel, the Lotte Hotel (which is well-known in Seoul), the airport—basically, I’ve entered at least 20 addresses, all rejected....
So, to anyone who’s successfully gotten the authorization, could you tell me which address you used to get that "elusive" approval?...
Hi there,
I’m heading to Senegal in January for a month and was wondering if I just need my French driver’s license or if I should get an international permit?
Thanks!

I’m heading to Laos next spring, but I have a question about the Thai arrival/departure form. I’ll be flying PAR-BKK, then taking the train to Laos (so exiting Thailand), and later re-entering Thailand by train to catch my return flight. Do I need to fill out two forms in this case?
Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!
Hi,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,

Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding?
Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival?
Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient?
Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Best regards,
Arnale
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
