Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional traffic, serving national carrier Air Astana alongside a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines. Located about 15–20 km southeast of central Almaty, travel times to the city center are commonly 25–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; public buses and airport shuttles can take 40–60 minutes with lower fares. Taxis and app-based services are usually the fastest option but can be pricier than buses; expect moderate convenience and generally good passenger services for international connections. Downsides can include seasonal congestion and occasional delays during peak periods.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international and domestic gateway, typically serving full-service carriers like Vietnam Airlines and international airlines as well as many low-cost operators such as Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways. Located about 6–8 km from District 1, travel to the city center usually takes 20–40 minutes by taxi (metered fares often range from low to moderate) or 30–50 minutes by public bus; ride-hailing apps are widely used for mid-range convenience. The airport offers plentiful services and multiple terminals, making it convenient for transfers, though peak-hour traffic and terminal crowds can slow down connections. Overall it’s practical for most travelers seeking direct international flights and good ground-transport options. Can Tho International Airport (VCA) is a regional airport in the Mekong Delta that can act as a budget-friendly alternative for some domestic and short international routes, typically served by domestic carriers and occasional regional flights. It lies roughly 170–180 km from central Ho Chi Minh City (about 3–4 hours by car or shuttle), so it can be a cost-effective choice for those combining Ho Chi Minh with Mekong Delta travel but is rarely used for quick city access. Ground transport options include intercity buses and private transfers with widely varying fares; availability can be more limited than from Ho Chi Minh’s main airport. The trade-off is quieter terminals and lower congestion versus longer surface travel times to reach the city.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Almaty to Ho Chi Minh City is $267 (December 2025), while the maximum is $332 (September 2026). On average, a ticket costs $283–$288.
