Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) serves as Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international and domestic gateway, functioning as a major Southeast Asian hub for full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines. Located about 6–10 km north of District 1, it’s typically 15–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares often in the modest local range; buses and airport shuttles can take 30–60 minutes for lower cost. The airport usually offers a broad mix of lounges, dining and shopping, but peak-hour congestion and occasional delays can affect comfort and speed. Overall it’s the most convenient option for most international arrivals and city transfers. Can Tho International Airport (VCA) and other regional fields can be used for domestic connections to the Mekong Delta and nearby provinces, though they are not primary gateways for Ho Chi Minh City itself. Domestic carriers and low-cost airlines typically operate these routes, and tickets can be perceived as budget-friendly compared with long-distance ground travel. Can Tho lies around 160–180 km from central Ho Chi Minh City, with transfers normally taking about 3–4 hours by car or bus; coach services are available at lower fares. These regional options can be useful for onward travel to the delta but are less convenient for direct city access and may involve fewer amenities and less frequent schedules.

Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the city’s long-established international hub, handling most full-service carriers and many intercontinental flights; it’s often perceived as mid-to-premium in pricing compared with low-cost options. Located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown, typical transfers include the Airport Express metro (around 20–30 minutes to Dongzhimen with fares generally low), taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic; fares can be moderate to high with tolls), and airport shuttles or private cars. Pros: extensive international connections and wide service facilities; cons: can be crowded and subject to long security or transfer times at peak hours. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, large-scale international hub that often handles both legacy and budget carriers on long-haul and domestic routes; some travelers find fares competitive on routes served here. Situated roughly 45–50 km south of central Beijing, main links are high-speed rail/express services to city stations (about 20–30 minutes to parts of central Beijing with variable fares), airport shuttle buses (typically 40–60 minutes, low to moderate cost), and taxis or ride-hailing (around 40–70 minutes depending on traffic; higher fares expected for distance). Pros: modern terminals with efficient design; cons: longer transfer distances and possible extra travel time to reach central areas.

In different months, ticket prices from Ho Chi Minh City to Beijing vary: minimum — $91 (December 2025), maximum — $129 (May 2026). Typically, the flight costs $113–$125.
