5. Helpful Tips at Da Nang Airport
5.1. Internet connection:
Da Nang Airport offers free Wi-Fi, but the signal can be unstable at times. You should prepare or easily purchase a 4G SIM card at the counters located near the baggage claim area to connect with the driver, hotel, and travel agency.
5.2. Prepare cash:
Some currency exchange counters in the airport may charge high fees. If you only need a small amount of money (VND 100,000 – 200,000), use the ATM located in the arrival hall, which features Vietcombank, Eximbank and BIDV machines.
5.3. Luggage safety:
Upon arrival, the waiting area is often quite crowded. You should hold on to your carry-on luggage and refrain from accepting luggage from strangers. If someone claims to be a driver at Da Nang airport, check that the name and license plate number match the pre-booked information.
These tips will help you avoid confusion when you first land at the airport, especially if this is your first time in Da Nang. If you book a private car with us, your driver will wait for you at the exit gate – no need to worry about finding your way or getting the wrong car.
