Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international hub, handling most long‑haul and regional flights as well as many full‑service carriers and some low‑cost airlines. Located roughly 6–8 km north of downtown District 1, it’s typically a short 20–40 minute drive depending on traffic; taxis and ride‑hailing services are common, with fares often falling into a modest range, while public buses take longer but cost less. The airport is usually convenient for international connections and hotel access, though it can feel busy at peak times and transfer times may be unpredictable. Can Tho International Airport (VCA) is a smaller regional gateway in the Mekong Delta often used for domestic services and occasional regional flights; it can be an economical choice for travelers heading to southern Vietnam. About 170 km from Ho Chi Minh City by road, journeys typically take around 3–4 hours by car or shuttle, so it’s more of a regional alternative than a city airport. Ground transport includes intercity buses and private transfers, with fares generally lower than airfares but longer travel times. The airport is usually less crowded and simpler to navigate, though it lacks the breadth of connections and amenities of the main hub.

Budapest is served primarily by Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), the country’s main international gateway and hub for full-service carriers alongside several low-cost airlines. BUD sits about 16–20 km southeast of the city center, with typical transfer options including the 100E airport express bus (35–45 minutes, paid single fare), regional buses and suburban trains via a short bus link (45–60 minutes, cheaper), as well as taxis and ride‑hailing services (30–40 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). The airport can be relatively affordable when flying budget carriers but also handles premium services. Pros: modern terminals with lounges and decent connections; cons: some remote gates and occasional queues during peak seasons.
