Guest Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Back in 2010, I flew from Bangkok to Hanoi. After spending a few days there, I arranged my own Halong Bay trip, using public transport, not tour buses. I deliberately went anti-clockwise, since apparently the tour groups tended to go clockwise. After that, I returned to Hanoi. Having noticed the long duration of the outbound trips on the railway line and decided to fly to Danang. Whilst in central Vietnam, I also visited Hue and Hoi An and tried a short stretch of the railway there. That was apparently one of the most scenic parts of the route. Whilst the view was very nice, the journey wasn't exactly pleasant due to lots of screaming babies. Hence, I decided to fly on south to Saigon, rather than take the train. Danang airport managed the fastest check in I've ever seen. I handed my passport over and the boarding pass must have been returned within about 30 seconds. I wandered upstairs & looked out of the window to see 2 runways and not a single aircraft on them. Eventually a couple of planes arrived. I gather they have built an additional terminal since then.
