Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SHA to Tan Son Nhat Intl. Airport (SGN) last minute?
Booking your trip from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to SGN at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you hit the jackpot and find an epic deal. However, fares don’t usually get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you wait, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you’d rather not take any chances, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.

Airport (SGN), you’ll touch down approximately 4 mi northwest of downtown Ho Chi Minh City. Once you’ve settled in to your comfy hotel, it’s time to discover some of the city’s best sights.
