Depends on which airline. I usually fly ANA. Tickets range anywhere from $1,200 to $1,600. Korean and China Airline is a little cheaper but I hear sometimes their planes don't start.

Carry your money in your pocket and do not flaunt it while you are in Vietnam.

Vietnamese has all kinds of tricks to extract money from you.

ticket to Saigon runs for around 800-1000 dollars in the summer. I don't know where you depart and it may vary a bit. The price usually includes visa if you buy from a local travel agency. I don't know how long you stay there but 3000 bucks is a lot to spend there unless you want to live in a 5-star hotel, lots of shopping and give some money to your relatives...But it's still good to bring more just in case, lol.
