Sanya Phoenix International (SYX) acts as Hainan’s main gateway, serving international charters and domestic carriers — you’ll typically find full-service airlines alongside regional budget operators. Located about 20–25 km from Sanya’s city center and coastal resorts, travel times range from roughly 25–45 minutes by taxi (fares can vary) or around 40–60 minutes by airport shuttle or public bus for lower cost. The airport is generally considered mid-priced compared with mainland hubs, with seasonal demand driving higher fares during holidays. Pros: compact, modern terminals and direct beach-area connections; cons: can be busy in peak season and some off-peak international routes may be limited.

Tan Son Nhat (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international gateway and regionally important hub, handling most full-service carriers alongside many low-cost airlines. It’s typically the main choice for long-haul and regional connections and can be pricier than secondary options when demand is high. The airport sits about 6–8 km north of District 1; road transfers usually take 15–35 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-hailing services commonly costing roughly $3–$10, while public buses are cheaper but slower (30–60 minutes). Pros: convenient central location, wide range of services and frequent flights. Cons: congestion and peak-hour delays can make transfers less predictable. Long Thanh International Airport (planned/under development) is intended to become the larger international hub serving Ho Chi Minh City in the future, aimed at handling higher passenger volumes and more long-haul routes. While not yet fully operational for most international services, it is positioned to attract both full-service and low-cost carriers and could alter relative pricing and connectivity when fully open. The site lies further from the city center than Tan Son Nhat, so travel times are expected to be longer until express links are in place; future plans include dedicated road and rail links to cut travel time substantially. Pros: designed for capacity and modern facilities; Cons: initially farther from central districts and dependent on new transport infrastructure.

In different months, ticket prices from Sanya to Ho Chi Minh City vary: minimum — $100 (October 2025), maximum — $154 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $130–$299.
