The three main international airports, which you will almost certainly arrive at when entering the country, are Noi Bai International in Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat International in Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang International in Da Nang.ย But, if youโre planning to explore Vietnam outside of the major cities, you might find yourself booking flights into obscure-sounding local airports.
Some are sparkling, modern affairs, while others are decades old or even re-purposed airfields left behind after the Vietnam war.nAll these facilities are managed by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam and, despite some being a little long in the tooth, they boast strong safety records.

Certain airports typically operate at only half capacity, so you can expect a peaceful and almost frictionless experience. On the other hand, some are full to bursting at certain times of the year, making it wise to allocate extra transfer time.
Even getting to and from the airports isnโt always as straightforward as it might seem! So wherever you are flying in the country, just know our comprehensive resource will give you everything you need to know about each location, how to get there, and what to expect!
