Prepare your Ho Chi Minh City journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) or Can Tho International Airport (VCA), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Ho Chi Minh City hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Separate the longer travel stages: The geographic references put Hai Phong (about 1117 km) and Hanoi (about 1138 km) from Ho Chi Minh City in a straight line. Choose how the group travels between those cities before requesting each local pickup; a flight or rail stage and a full road itinerary need different transport briefs.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
Tan Son Nhat pickup instructions must reflect Terminal 3
Tan Son Nhat’s Terminal 3 brought changes to domestic-flight collections. Vietnam Airlines moved its domestic operations there in 2025, with the wider airline group subsequently following. That makes older instructions directing every domestic passenger to Terminal 1 unreliable.
For an airport transfer for your group, give the operating airline, flight number and terminal shown for the date. Confirm the airport too when booking, then ask the operator for the precise meeting point. Do not apply one airline’s terminal arrangement to every carrier.
Include city meetings and longer onward travel separately
Supply the complete hotel and venue addresses and distinguish the passenger entrance from any loading area. List suitcases and event equipment separately so the proposed vehicle’s luggage space can be assessed. Ask whether the transport waits or returns later and where the group should regroup.
If the itinerary continues to Can Tho, request that as a separate intercity leg with the overnight base and final return requirement. Our Vietnam transport guide and coach hire guide help bring the stages into a complete brief.

Your Ho Chi Minh City transport questions
Do all domestic flights at Tan Son Nhat still use Terminal 1?
No. Terminal 3 is in operation and Vietnam Airlines Group moved domestic flights there during 2025. Check the operating airline and current terminal for the actual flight before agreeing pickup instructions.
Can our Ho Chi Minh City enquiry include Can Tho?
You can request the onward leg. Give the exact destination, dates, luggage, overnight base and return requirement so the route and vehicle availability can be assessed as part of the full itinerary.
What is the distance between SGN and Ho Chi Minh City?
The airport and destination map references are approximately 2 km apart in a straight line. A road journey can differ substantially. Provide the actual address in Ho Chi Minh City; the map distance is not a promise of transfer time or fare.
Where will our group meet the vehicle at SGN?
The meeting arrangement for Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) must be confirmed with the booking. Do not assume a coach can collect at any terminal door. Give the flight and terminal details, and keep the lead passenger contact available for the agreed collection instructions.
Can we continue from Ho Chi Minh City to Hai Phong?
Include the next stop in Hai Phong and its address in the initial brief. State whether it is a short visit, an overnight stay or the final destination; those are different vehicle and driver requirements.
How do the Hai Phong and Hanoi stops compare from Ho Chi Minh City?
From the Ho Chi Minh City geographic reference, Hai Phong is approximately 1116.6 km away in a straight line and Hanoi is 1137.5 km away. Hai Phong is listed in Hai Phong; Hanoi is listed in Hanoi. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
