Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights as well as domestic connections. It typically hosts national carrier Vietnam Airlines alongside a mix of full-service and low-cost Asian airlines such as VietJet Air and Bamboo Airways, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and timing. The airport sits about 6–8 km north of District 1; travel to the city center usually takes 15–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hail (fares commonly vary by meter/legal surcharge) and around 45–60 minutes by public bus. Pros: convenient central location and frequent services; cons: can be crowded at peak times and road traffic may extend transfer times. Can Gio (when referenced as regional terminals or smaller airfields) is not a primary passenger airport for Ho Chi Minh City’s commercial routes; most travelers use Tan Son Nhat for both international and domestic flights. Domestic-oriented operations and smaller charter flights can be served by nearby regional fields, which typically host limited airlines and fewer daily departures, often yielding lower comfort but quicker processing. These sites can be significantly farther from the downtown core, so transfers are usually arranged by car or shuttle and may take 60+ minutes depending on distance. Pros: less hustle for niche services; cons: limited connectivity and fewer amenities compared with the main international airport.

Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), an international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside several regional and low-cost airlines at satellite terminals. KUL sits about 45–60 km south of the city center; the ERL KLIA Ekspres train typically gets you into central KL in roughly 28–35 minutes, while airport buses and taxis can take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares that are usually modest for buses and variable for taxis/ride-hailing. The airport is generally modern and well-equipped, offering plenty of transfer conveniences, though travel time to downtown can be substantial if you’re on a budget or during peak road congestion. Subang SkyPark (SZB), also known as Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, functions more as a domestic and regional airport with a focus on turboprops, business aviation and some low-cost carriers. Located about 20 km northwest of downtown Kuala Lumpur, drive times are typically 25–40 minutes; shuttle buses and taxis connect it to the city with moderate fares. SZB can be quicker for short domestic hops and business travelers due to its proximity and smaller size, but it has fewer long-haul options and less extensive facilities compared with the major international airport.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Ho Chi Minh City to Kuala Lumpur is $43 (March 2026), while the maximum is $58 (September 2026). On average, a ticket costs $47–$49.
