Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Varanasi and Yangon. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Varanasi to Yangon for pilgrimage, as Myanmar has many important Buddhist sites. Yangon offers a mix of colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and golden pagodas. Expect a slower pace of life compared to Indian cities.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Yangon is during the dry season, from November to February. The weather is cooler and more comfortable for sightseeing. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September due to heavy rainfall.

Getting from the airport to Yangon

Yangon International Airport (RGN) is about 15 km from the city center. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around 15,000-20,000 kyats. Airport buses are a cheaper option, costing around 500 kyats, but take longer.

Things to do in Yangon
