About Savannakhet Airport
Savannakhet Airport, code ZVK, serves Savannakhet, the main city of southern-central Laos. The city sits on the Mekong River facing Mukdahan in Thailand, and its official name is Kaysone Phomvihane, although almost everyone still calls it Savannakhet. The airport is small and relaxed, with a single runway and a modest terminal.

The terminal handles a small number of flights each day, so queues are rarely long. Facilities are simple, with check-in desks and a waiting area. Do not count on a wide choice of food or shopping; the cafés in town are a better bet before you fly.
