Flights to Da Nang (DAD)
There are three major international airports in Vietnam, located in Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Hanoi (HAN), and Da Nang (DAD). Da Nang is located in central Vietnam, while Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are in the north and south of the country respectively. Domestic flights are readily available between these major airports. Flight times between Da Nang and either city are about 1 hour in duration. Our friends and family from the United States may book direct through Eva Air, Korean Air, and All Nippon Airways. Whatever your path, make sure to apply for an electronic Visa at the official website (see Vietnam Visa for more info).

Travel Note
Local Transportation
We recommend all international guests download the ride-share app Grab for local travel. This is the local equivalent to Uber. Cash is the preferred method of payment; the app will confirm the correct amount to pay. Shuttle services may be available through hotels. Other services may be available from other vendors, but please make sure to do your own research.
Rental Car
Don't Rent a Car
Mopeds are the preferred mode of transport for the Vietnamese. This being said, do not rent a moped unless you are an experienced traveler in Southeast Asia.
