About this route

Planned from your flight time backwards: tell us the flight and your hotel address, and we set the pickup time with room for Hanoi traffic. Domestic flights leave from Terminal 1, international flights from Terminal 2.

When to leave your hotel

  • Work backwards from your flight. Guides suggest being at the airport about 3 hours before an international flight and about 2 hours before a domestic one.
  • Example: for a 12:00 international flight, aim to reach the airport at 9:00. Leave the Old Quarter by 8:00 to allow for morning traffic.
  • Your airline sets the time check-in closes, often about 45 minutes before departure. Check it on your ticket.

Before you check out

  • Check your terminal. Domestic flights use Terminal 1 and international flights use Terminal 2.
  • Send your exact hotel address. Some Old Quarter streets are narrow, so your driver may meet you at the nearest corner.
  • On weekend evenings, streets around Hoan Kiem Lake close to cars. If your hotel is inside the zone, tell us so we can agree a pickup point.
  • Tell us how many suitcases you have, so that your bags fit on the way out as well.

  • Private car and driver, door to door.
  • Tolls and airport parking included in the fixed price.
