Hanoi - Noibai (HAN):
Location: 22 km/14 Miles N of the City centre.

Notes from a Traveller January 2010: We rode in
a taxi (it was POURING rain this morning and we didn't want to walk the
9 blocks to the Vietnam Airlines office to catch the bus!) and it took a
full 51 minutes.

Ho Chi Minh City - Tansonnhat (SGN):
Location: 6 km/4 Miles NW of Hochiminh City centre.
By
Taxi: To the city centre US$8.
There are 3 types of taxis: Yellow Taxis, white airport taxis and Saigon taxis. Most taxis are metered but be careful of overcharging which is common.
Notes from a Traveller January 2010:
There is no longer a booth inside the airport selling fixed-price taxi
tickets to town. We went to the curb (it was 2300 local and we figured
the bus would be sketchy then) and bargained a taxi down from US $20 to
town to $8, but be prepared to do a bit of bargaining!

Public Bus #152
to the city: |
Public Bus #152 runs from the airport domestic terminal to the City centre (Ben
Thanh Market is final destination). Cost: VND 3000.
Notes from a
Traveller November 2009: The fare is indeed VND 3000 per person, but they also charge you VND 3000 for your bag (if it is large enough to occupy a seat). This is still less than US
$0.35, but it’s worth being aware of this in case people are setting aside the cash to get to the airport at the end of a trip. |
