Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international gateway and a busy regional hub, typically serving full-service carriers like Vietnam Airlines and international airlines alongside many low-cost carriers such as VietJet and Bamboo Airways. Located about 6–8 km north of District 1, it can be reached in roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; public buses to the city center usually take 40–60 minutes and cost a few dollars, while ride-hailing apps commonly offer mid-range fares. Pros: convenient proximity to central districts and a wide choice of routes; cons: congestion during peak hours and occasional delays. Can Gio/Long Thanh (Long Thanh International is planned/under construction) is envisioned as the future major international hub to relieve Tan Son Nhat and to accommodate long-haul growth; when completed it is expected to handle a wider mix of full-service and international carriers and to reposition some traffic away from the city-center airport. Located farther east/southeast of Ho Chi Minh City (roughly 30–50 km depending on terminals), travel to the urban core can be significantly longer — typically 45–90 minutes or more by car — and ground transport options are likely to include expressways, shuttle buses, and regional rail links with fares ranging from economical to moderate. Pros: increased capacity and modern facilities expected; cons: longer transfer times to central districts and initial connectivity ramps while supporting infrastructure develops.

Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s primary hub for both full-service carriers and several regional or budget airlines. Flights often arrive from South Asia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and fares can be perceived as moderate to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport sits roughly 6–7 km east of the city center; taxis usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic with fares often in the low double-digit Nepalese rupee range (metered), while shared minivans and ride apps can be slightly cheaper or comparable. Pros: close to central Kathmandu and convenient for quick transfers; cons: can be crowded, facilities may feel dated and security/immigration lines can be slow at peak times.
