Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international gateway and a busy regional hub serving full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines. Located about 6–8 km north of District 1, it’s typically the most convenient choice for international and domestic connections, with taxi and ride-hailing trips to the city center usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; fares can range from modest metered rates to higher ride-hail prices. Public bus services and airport shuttle options are available for lower-cost transfers, though they can be slower. Pros: close to downtown and well served by carriers; cons: can be crowded and affected by heavy traffic during peak hours. Long Thanh International Airport (future/long-term hub planning) is being developed to act as a larger international and cargo hub to relieve Tan Son Nhat, and over time it can become the primary gateway for many long-haul and full-service flights. Situated roughly 40–50 km east of central Ho Chi Minh City in Dong Nai Province, travel times to the city center can be around 40–90 minutes or more depending on the route and future express connections; current transfer options may include shuttle buses, taxis, and planned rail links, with fares typically higher than inner-city trips. Pros: designed for greater capacity and modern facilities; cons: greater distance to downtown and currently limited ground links while the project phases progress.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the region’s primary international hub and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and international airlines alongside some low-cost operations. Located about 21 miles south of downtown San Francisco, it’s usually reached in 20–40 minutes by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) or 25–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; BART fares commonly fall in a moderate range while rideshares and taxis can be pricier. SFO offers extensive amenities and frequent long-haul connections, making it convenient for business and international travelers, though it can be busy and security queues may be longer at peak times.
