Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and many regional budget airlines, making it the primary choice for most travelers. It sits about 6–8 km north of District 1, with taxi rides to the city center usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; metered taxis and ride-hailing apps are common, and fares can typically range from modest to moderate. There is also a newer bus network and airport shuttle services taking 30–60 minutes at lower cost. Pros: convenient location, many flight options and services; cons: can be crowded and subject to heavy traffic delays during peak hours. Long Thanh International Airport (planned/under development) is being built to become the region’s future major hub meant to handle growing international and cargo traffic and to relieve Tan Son Nhat. Positioned roughly 40–50 km east of Ho Chi Minh City, it will likely attract a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers once operations fully transfer, and could be perceived as pricier or more premium for long-haul connections. Ground links are planned to include expressways, buses and rail connections with travel times expected to be in the 45–90 minute range depending on mode, with budget bus options typically cheaper. Pros: modern facilities and expanded capacity; cons: longer distance to the city and ongoing phased openings can affect convenience.

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub and one of Europe’s busiest transfer points, typically serving a wide mix of full-service carriers and intercontinental alliances alongside some low-cost and regional operators. Located about 12 km southwest of the city center, it can usually be reached by S-Bahn in roughly 15–20 minutes (moderate fares) or by regional train and long-distance ICE services in 10–15 minutes depending on the connection; taxis and ride-shares take around 20–30 minutes with higher fares. The airport usually offers comprehensive lounges, extensive shopping and transfer facilities—good for connections but can feel large and complex for first-time visitors. For lower-cost travel, Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN) is further away and often used by budget carriers, making it less convenient but potentially cheaper if you don’t mind the transfer time.

In different months, ticket prices from Ho Chi Minh City to Frankfurt vary: minimum — $342 (October 2025), maximum — $412 (January 2026). Typically, the flight costs $377–$412.
