Flights from Vietnam

From Vietnam, Singapore Airlines operates direct flights to Singapore from all three gateways: Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Da Nang (DAD), and Hanoi (HAN).

From Singapore, you can then continue on direct Singapore Airlines services to a broad range of destinations. In North Asia, examples include Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, and Nagoya. Within Southeast Asia, you can reach cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Denpasar Bali, Penang, Manila, and Surabaya.

Further afield, you can fly to Sydney and Brisbane in Australia, Riyadh, Dubai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Male in West Asia, Cape Town in Africa, and key European and American cities like London, Frankfurt, Rome, Istanbul, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York.

These examples represent just part of the wider network available via a simple connection at Singapore Changi Airport.

From Vietnam, many journeys reached via Singapore Changi Airport count as long-haul flights.

In Europe, long-haul examples include London and Manchester in the United Kingdom, Frankfurt in Germany, Rome in Italy, and Istanbul in Turkey, with total travel times typically ranging from about 13 to 18 hours including the connection.

In the Americas, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York in the United States are classic long-haul routes, usually taking around 16 to just over 22 hours in total, depending on your Vietnam departure city and connection.

In the Southwest Pacific, Sydney and Brisbane in Australia are also long-haul from Vietnam, generally around 9 to 11 hours of flying time when combined with your Singapore connection.

To Africa, Cape Town in South Africa is one of the longest journeys, often involving two stops (Singapore and Johannesburg) and typically taking well over 14 hours of flying time end to end.

From Vietnam, there are several attractive short-trip options with relatively short total journey times via Singapore.

- Singapore, Singapore: Suitable year-round, with a warm climate and frequent rain showers that keep the city green; ideal for a quick city escape with gardens, waterfront walks, and shopping.
- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Best enjoyed during the generally drier and slightly cooler months, offering a mix of modern skyline views and leafy neighbourhoods.
- Penang, Malaysia: Pleasant in the drier season, with a compact heritage city, hill scenery, and beaches within easy reach.
- Bangkok, Thailand: Good for a short break in the cooler, less humid months, combining riverfront views, markets, and rooftop cityscapes.
- Denpasar Bali, Indonesia: Especially appealing in the dry season, when you can enjoy beaches, rice terraces, and coastal sunsets.

All of these can be reached quickly from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or Hanoi with an easy connection through Singapore.

For international flights departing from Vietnam, we recommend arriving at the airport 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure time.

This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities, especially at busy airports such as Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Da Nang (DAD), and Hanoi (HAN). Check-in counters typically close about 40 minutes before departure, so arriving early helps ensure a smooth start to your journey.

If you are travelling during peak holiday periods or with checked baggage, consider allowing a little extra time.
