Melbourne operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Hanoi follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Hanoi is 3 hours behind Melbourne during AEST, and 4 hours behind during AEDT.

Singapore Airlines flights to Singapore, connecting onwards to Hanoi, usually depart from the international terminal at Melbourne Airport (MEL). We recommend checking your booking and the airport flight information screens on the day of travel for your confirmed check-in row and gate.

If your flights from Melbourne to Hanoi are booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your bags through to Hanoi at Melbourne Airport. You can then remain in transit at Singapore Changi Airport and follow the signs to your next departure gate.

For flights from Melbourne to Hanoi via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Melbourne Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and passport control, especially during busy travel periods.
