Xi’an is served mainly by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), a large international hub located northwest of the city that handles most long-haul, domestic and low-cost carriers. Major Chinese airlines and several international carriers operate frequent services, while budget carriers also use the airport for cheaper regional connections. The airport sits roughly 40–50 km from downtown Xi’an; travel to the city typically takes 30–60 minutes by high-speed airport express train or about 45–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Express train fares and shared-ride options are usually mid-range for China, while taxis can be more expensive but convenient. Pros: good connectivity and modern facilities; cons: some distance from the center and variable peak-hour road congestion.

In different months, ticket prices from Xian to Ho Chi Minh City vary: minimum — $140 (June 2026), maximum — $176 (December 2026). Typically, the flight costs $146–$152.

Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s main international gateway and typically functions as the primary hub for full-service carriers and Vietnam’s flag carrier, alongside many regional and low-cost airlines. Located about 6–8 km from District 1, it usually takes 20–45 minutes to reach the city center by taxi or ride-hail, with fares often in the low-to-mid range for local standards; public buses and shuttle services can be cheaper but slower, around 40–60 minutes. Pros: centrally located with many flight options and frequent connections. Cons: can be crowded and congested during peak hours, and security/processing times can be variable. Can Gio/Long Thanh (new Long Thanh International Airport, when referred) is positioned to become a major international hub handling growing long-haul and transfer traffic and is often associated with future expansion and higher-capacity operations compared with the older Tan Son Nhat. The current Long Thanh site lies roughly 40–50 km east of Ho Chi Minh City center, so ground travel can be 60–90+ minutes depending on traffic; expect express buses, planned rail links, and taxis or airport shuttles, with fares generally higher than to/from Tan Son Nhat. Pros: designed for modern, spacious facilities and better long-term connectivity. Cons: greater distance to the city and transitional transport arrangements during initial phases.
