Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the main international hub, handling most long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; it’s located about 48 km west of downtown and typically takes 45–70 minutes by airport express train or 60–90 minutes by car, with rail fares roughly KRW 4,500–9,000. Gimpo (GMP) functions as a nearer, more domestic- and short-haul-oriented airport, often used by low-cost carriers and regional flights; it sits about 15 km from the city center and can be reached in 20–40 minutes by subway or 30–50 minutes by taxi, fares varying by route. Incheon can be more comfortable and better equipped for transfers, while Gimpo offers quicker access to the city at typically lower ground-transport time and cost; some travelers prefer Gimpo for convenience on short hops, whereas Incheon is usually favored for international connections.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international and domestic gateway, typically serving full-service carriers alongside regional budget airlines. Located about 6–8 km north of District 1, travel to the city center usually takes 20–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, with fares commonly ranging from modest flat rates to slightly higher metered charges; public buses and airport shuttles can be cheaper but slower (roughly 45–70 minutes). The airport generally offers a broad range of lounges, shopping and dining options and multiple terminals, making it convenient for international connections; however, peak-hour congestion and occasional traffic delays can affect comfort and on-time transfers. Can Tho International Airport (VCA) is sometimes used as an alternative for the Mekong Delta region and can be an option for domestic travelers to southern Vietnam; it is not in Ho Chi Minh City proper but may serve low-cost and regional routes linking to larger hubs. Situated around 150–170 km from central Ho Chi Minh City, transfer times to the city can be several hours by road, so it is typically more suitable for travelers with onward plans in the delta or for domestic itineraries. Transport options include long-distance buses and private transfers with variable fares; the airport is usually quieter and easier to navigate than the main international hub, though it offers fewer flight frequencies and limited amenities.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Seoul to Ho Chi Minh City is $135 (June 2026), while the maximum is $159 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $145–$149.
