What CNX to HAN looks like
The CNX to HAN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Chiang Mai CNX to Hanoi HAN is a short sector of 765 km by great circle, flown nonstop 6 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 765 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 38m.
Chiang Mai CNX is a smaller airport in the network held here, 29 scheduled destinations and 87.6 departures a day. Hanoi HAN has 87 destinations and 368.8 departures a day.
Hanoi carries about 4.2 times the departures of Chiang Mai, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Chiang Mai and Hanoi keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

Between them the two directions put about 12 departures a week on CNX to HAN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 38m block time on CNX to HAN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|

| At CNX before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |

| Formalities at HAN | 90 min | 7h 38m |
| Delivery run in Hanoi | 45 min | 8h 23m |

On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for CNX to HAN is 8h 23m.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 17 of them join CNX to HAN.
| Connecting at | CNX to hub, flights a day | Hub to HAN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yangon RGN | 1.29 | 0.71 | 1,488 | 3h 58m |
| Kunming KMG | 2.71 | 1.14 | 1,336 | 4h 03m |
| Bangkok DMK | 28.29 | 2.29 | 1,550 | 4h 05m |
| Bangkok BKK | 23.43 | 12.86 | 1,592 | 4h 24m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 2.29 | 7.86 | 2,381 | 5h 18m |
| Chongqing CKG | 0.57 | 1.14 | 2,393 | 5h 19m |
17 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Yangon RGN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through RGN the routing covers 1,488 km against the 765 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 20m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Kunming KMG at 4h 03m and Bangkok DMK at 4h 05m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for CNX to HAN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
