How to Reach Vietnam By Air
The best way to reach Vietnam from India is by taking a flight from Bangalore. The distance between India and Vietnam is roughly 3194 kilometres (1,985 miles) and your flight time is about 4 hours. With more than 300 flights a week connecting the two nations, you will find it most convenient to head over to Vietnam from Bangalore. However, you can also fly from other major cities, like Delhi, Cochin, Hyderabad, Amritsar and Thiruvananthapuram. There are three international airports in Vietnam and you can choose your port of arrival depending on which part of the country interests you the most. You can fly in either to Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi to the north, Tan Son Nhat International Airport at Ho Chi Minh City to the south or Da Nang International Airport at Da Nang in the centre.
The airport at Hanoi is about 40 minutes from the city centre, while the ones at Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are 20 and 10 minutes from the city centre. The airports are small when compared to other international airports, but they all offer basic amenities like food, money exchange stalls and ATMs. The good thing about smaller airports is that it gets easier to move around without getting lost or missing your connecting flight. Vietnam has excellent domestic connectivity as well, and you can fly out to whichever part of the country you wish to from any of these airports.
