Departure: Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)

Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi leave from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), serving Ho Chi Minh City - ho Chi Minh City is the energetic southern capital of Vietnam, with Ben Thanh market, the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong delta. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Metro line 1 and city buses do not stop at the airport terminal, so most visitors take a taxi, ride-hailing car or a private transfer; a private car with a driver waiting at arrivals is the easiest choice after a long flight, with luggage or for a hotel outside District 1.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City to Tan Son Nhat International Airport

Arrival: Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) and getting into Hanoi

You arrive at Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport (HAN). A public express bus and minibuses link the airport with the Old Quarter for a small fee, but they are slow with luggage; taxis and ride-hailing cars take 40 to 60 minutes, and a private car is best for late flights, families and for going straight on to Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh or Sa Pa. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Hanoi, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi

Three things to know about the flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and usually a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Hanoi when you land

Hanoi is Vietnam's capital of the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem lake, street food and the road to Ha Long Bay. Start with Water Puppet Theatre, Vietnam Museum of Ethnology and Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake, then a day trip to Ninh Binh or Ha Long Bay and Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple. A tip from our desk: Noi Bai has separate domestic and international terminals, so let us know your airline and flight number; the Old Quarter's narrow lanes are often closed to cars, so give your hotel's name and phone number and expect a short walk.

We offer tours and transfers in Hanoi as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi

Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi run all year, 50+ a day. October to December and March to April are the most comfortable months; summer is hot and humid with heavy rain, and winter can be cool and grey. Ha Long Bay is best outside the typhoon season, roughly June to September, and Tet in late January or February closes many shops. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi?

The cost of a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
