How do I get to Da Nang from the airport?

How do I go to Da Nang City from the airport?

Okay, Da Nang airport to the city… hmm. Taxi is probably easiest. I ALWAYS take a taxi when I land, ugh.

• Mai Linh – 0511.3.56.56.
• VinaSun Green – 0511.3.68.68. Always see those.
• Han River Taxi – 0511.3.72.72.
• Tien Sa – 0511.3.79.79.
• XANH SM – 19002088 (electric cars, right?)

Or Grab, duh. Everyone uses Grab now. Cheaper, maybe. The numbers tho, good to have just in case phone dies, ugh, happened last time I was there. Remember when I lost my phone charger? That was a disaster.

How early should I arrive at Danang airport?

Two hours. Domestic. Three hours. International. Simple.

Airport security lines fluctuate. My last trip, Da Nang. Domestic flight. Forty minutes. Plenty of time. International? Different story.

• Consider traffic. Rush hour. Nightmare.
• Check-in kiosks. Efficient. Sometimes not.
• Unexpected delays happen. Life.

Arrive early. Avoid stress. A universal truth. Or, a personal preference. Depending on your risk tolerance. My tolerance is low.

Pro Tip: Download the airport app. Real-time updates. Less anxiety. More control.

My flight last year, VN256. Delayed. Annoying. But, I was early. Therefore, not catastrophic. The lesson? Always early. Better safe.

Rule of thumb: Three hours. Always. Unless domestic, and you are fearless.

How do I get to Hoi An from the airport?

Okay, so, Hoi An from the airport… ugh.

Last October, yeah, October 2023, Da Nang airport. Hot. Sweltering. I needed Hoi An, stat! I was so tired.

Taxi to the Central Bus Station, right? Annoying, but fine. The driver tried to rip me off, obviously. Had to haggle, sigh.

Then, bus #1. Local bus, packed like sardines! Sweaty people everywhere. The smell! Lord.

It took forever, felt like three hours, not just one! Nguyen Tat Thanh Bus Station finally. Dusty. Hotter. I think.

Here’s the breakdown, more or less:

• Taxi: Airport to Central Bus Station (Da Nang). Cost me, like, 150,000 VND after arguing? Should be less.

• Bus #1: Central Bus Station to Hoi An bus station. Super cheap. Maybe 20,000 VND? Don’t quote me.

• Frequency: Supposedly every 20 mins. Yeah, right. More like when it’s full, then it goes.

• Travel Time: They said 1-1.5 hours. Liars! More like, I dunno, felt like forever with the traffic.

• Destination: Hoi An Nguyen Tat Thanh Bus Station. Then you gotta get another taxi to your hotel, naturally.

Ugh, never again. Next time? Private car. Worth every penny. My sanity, right? I mean, seriously.

Is there bus from Da Nang Airport to Hoi An?

Dark outside. Thinking about travel again. Da Nang… Hoi An… yeah, there’s a bus. Number one.

Orange. Or yellow. Always seems to take forever though. Hour and a half maybe. More?

Thirty… fifty thousand dong. Not much, really. But still. Just sitting there.

Airport’s small. Find the stop easy enough. Right outside.

Could just get a car. Faster, of course. Costs more. Always costs more. Sigh.

• Bus Route: Number 1
• Operated by: Da Nang Public Transport
• Color: Orange or Yellow
• Travel time: 70-80 minutes
• Cost: 30,000-50,000 VND
• Location: Outside Da Nang Airport (DAD) terminal
• Alternatives: Private car, Taxi (more expensive)

Remember that trip in ’21… Rain. Whole time rain. Sat on that bus… Soaked.

Soaked through. Lost my favorite hat. Stupid hat. Still…

Maybe I should just fly directly into Hoi An next time… if that’s even… possible.
