Reach Hoi An from Da Nang Airport cheaply by bus! Take a taxi to Da Nang Central Bus Station. Board local bus #1 to Hoi An Nguyen Tat Thanh Station (approx. 1-1.5 hrs, buses every 20 mins). This is the most affordable transport option.

Da Nang Airport to Hoi An: Best Transport Options?

Okay, so getting from Da Nang airport to Hoi An? Ugh, I remember this. The cheapest? Definitely the bus.

Grab a cab to the main bus station – cost me around 100,000 dong last July, maybe? Then it’s bus number one. About an hour’s ride, sometimes a bit longer.

It was hot, cramped, but cheap. Like, 20,000 dong or something. A steal, honestly.

Hoi An’s Nguyen Tat Thanh station is the stop. Pretty straightforward, actually.

How early should I arrive at Danang Airport?

Okay, so Danang Airport, huh? Let me tell you about my near-miss.

Last summer, flying back home after a fab beach trip, I was cutting it SO close.

My flight to Hanoi was at 10 AM. I was chilling way too long at that beachside cafe.

I only got to the airport at 9:20 AM. Panic! My heart was pounding.

They say domestic check-in closes 40 mins before.

It was like a mad dash through the terminal.

Thank goodness I only had carry-on! Otherwise, I’m sure I’d have missed it.

They opened check-in about two hours before the flight time. Should have aimed for 8AM.

International? Three hours early, folks, and 50 mins cut-off. Don’t be me!

Lesson? Be way early!

Specific Times to Remember:

  • Domestic: Check-in opens 2 hrs before, closes 40 mins before.
  • International: Check-in opens 3 hrs before, closes 50 mins before.

I felt like such a dumbo. Never again!

Is there bus from Da Nang Airport to Hoi An?

Ugh, Da Nang Airport to Hoi An… Bus number 1, right? Orange or yellow, I think. Took forever, like an hour and a half maybe? Totally crammed, though. Sweat dripping. Thirty to fifty thousand dong. Cheap, I guess. But next time, taxi. Seriously. That bus ride was brutal. My back still hurts.

Bus stop’s outside, easy to find. No, wait, was it inside? I’m confused. Airport stuff blurs together. But definitely worth remembering to avoid that sardine can on wheels. A private car is way better. More expensive, sure, but comfort over cheap thrills, always. You know?

Private car is faster. Public bus is ridiculously cheap. Bus route 1 is the one to look for.

  • Bus: Route 1, orange/yellow.
  • Cost: 30,000 – 50,000 VND (2024).
  • Time: 70-80 minutes.
  • Location: Bus stop near airport (I think outside?).
  • Alternative: Private car/taxi – way more expensive.

My friend Sarah took a Grab last year. She swore it was worth the extra money. I should’ve listened. Note to self: next time, luxury over misery. Seriously. Never again. I need a vacation from that bus ride.
