Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, with some budget options on domestic sectors. It’s relatively close to the city center—about 6–10 km—so road transfer times usually range from 20–45 minutes depending on traffic; taxis, app-based rides, and hotel shuttles are common, with fares often modest for short trips. Domestic flights operate from the same complex and can be subject to weather-related delays. Pros: convenient access to central Kathmandu and plentiful carrier choices. Cons: can feel crowded, facilities are modest compared with larger hubs, and security/processing times can be variable.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City's primary international gateway and the region’s main commercial hub, handling most long‑haul and full‑service carriers alongside domestic flights. Low‑cost airlines also operate from here, though full‑service carriers typically dominate international routes; fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on carrier and timing. The airport sits about 6–8 km north of District 1 (roughly 20–40 minutes by car in normal traffic). Options to the city include taxi or ride‑share (about $3–$10), airport shuttle buses ($0.50–$2, 30–60 minutes), and private transfers; cityrail is not available. Pros: convenient location and frequent flight choices; cons: can be crowded and subject to heavy traffic delays when traveling to/from central districts. Can Gio and Long Thanh are not conventional alternatives for most travelers: Can Gio is a coastal district with smaller air operations, while Long Thanh International Airport (still under development/expansion plans depending on timing) is intended to become a major long‑term international hub east of the city, projected to serve large long‑haul flows and relieve Tan Son Nhat. Long Thanh will be further from downtown (potentially 30–60+ km), so transfers could take longer and cost more, though it may offer faster processing and expanded connections once fully operational. For now, Tan Son Nhat remains the practical choice for most visitors to Ho Chi Minh City due to proximity and dense flight schedules.

In different months, ticket prices from Kathmandu to Ho Chi Minh City vary: minimum — $194 (November 2025), maximum — $261 (April 2026). Typically, the flight costs $221–$445.
