Going from Ho Chi Minh City to Golden Bridge by Flight + Car
The fastest way to get to Golden Hands Bridge from Ho Chi Minh City is taking a flight to Da Nang and then have a private transfer by car/bus from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills.
A direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang will be 1 hour and 20 minutes long. There are many local airlines to buy tickets today, such as Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airways, Vietjet Air, Pacific Airlines, Vietravel Airlines. If want to see Golden Hands Bridge on the same day, visitors should fly in the morning and then reach the bridge right after arriving at Da Nang.
In Ho Chi Minh City, visitors need to go to the Tan Son Nhat International Airport (code: SGN). This airport is nearly 10 kilometers away from the center of Ho Chi Minh City (referring to District 1). To get to it, both public transportation and private transfers are possible. If going by private car/bus, the drive is 30-60 minutes, depending on the traffic.
Today, the Tan Son Nhat International Airport has three terminals: Terminal 2 (T2) for international flights and Terminal 1 (T1), Terminal 3 (T3) for domestic flights. To fly to Da Nang, it’s needed to come to Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on the airline. Please check flight information carefully to reach the right terminal. Passengers are advised to be in the airport at least 2 hours before departure, so should leave the center of Ho Chi Minh City 3-3,5 hours earlier. In addition, Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air or Bamboo Airways currently accept online check in (24 hours before) and E-boarding pass at the airport.
In the Da Nang International Airport (code: DAD), visitors will land at the Terminal 1 (Domestic terminal). Here, after baggage claim, just walk outside to see the driver (or the guide if book a tour) who often holds a sign showing passenger’s names. Taking a random taxi is okay but quite expensive. After that, the driver/guide will take visitors to the parking lot before driving to Ba Na Hills. Read how to get to Golden Bridge from Da Nang airport
