Availability is VERY limited for hotels in Vietnam (especially Hanoi) during the months of October and November this year due to APEC meeting and its pre/post arrangements.
In order to get the space at the hotels (especially for 4 or 5-star properities) you wish to book - we highly recommend you move your traveling dates to be after the above two months as chances to get the reservations confirmed are EXTREMELY difficult!

Again - we have received enquiries for the recommended check-in time for departure flight at the new Suvaranabhumi Airport.
We would strongly recommend you leave the hotel 3 hours before scheduled departure time. Please note that the traffic from the downtown of Bangkok to the new Suvarnabhumi Airport usually takes at least 45 minutes and you should check-in at least 2 hours before departure time.
