Other options, such as local trains, local buses, and shared limousine buses, are less convenient for a direct journey from Da Nang Airport to Hue. These services generally require you to travel to a train station or a pickup point outside the airport. Shared limousine buses also do not typically pick up passengers directly at the airport. In addition, these options are shared rather than private transportation.

| Booking | Book in advance | Usually available at the airport |
| Vehicle options | Sedan, SUV and van for different group sizes | Mainly standard taxi cars; larger groups may need multiple taxis |
| Getting a ride to Hue | Vehicle is arranged specifically for your trip | You may need to wait for a taxi available for the trip to Hue |

- Prefer to have your vehicle arranged in advance.
- Want to know the total price before your journey, including tolls, tunnel fees, and parking fees.
- Are traveling with family or a larger group and need a suitable vehicle.
Choose a taxi if you:

Optional Stops En Route from Da Nang Airport to Hue
For flights arriving in Da Nang during the morning or early afternoon, particularly short-haul flights from Singapore or Thailand or domestic flights, travelers often ask whether they can include a stop on the way from Da Nang Airport to Hue.
However, we do not recommend planning multiple stops or pre-booking lunch in Lang Co. The actual time spent at the airport can vary due to flight delays, baggage claim, or immigration procedures, especially for international flights. Such delays can disrupt your overall travel schedule to Hue.
If you wish to include a stop, we generally recommend only a brief stop at Hai Van Pass for sightseeing, and only when the weather is sunny and visibility is good.
Traveling via Hai Van Pass may also increase the vehicle cost, depending on the vehicle type. Surcharges typically range from approximately USD 10 to USD 20.
In addition to the cost, travel time and distance will also increase. Please refer to the table below.
| Route | Estimated travel time | Estimated distance to Hue city center |
|---|---|---|
| Hai Van Tunnel | 2–2.5 hours | Approximately 95 km |
| Hai Van Pass | 3–3.5 hours, including a 20-minute sightseeing stop | Approximately 103 km |
Important Notes for Your Da Nang Airport Transfer to Hue
Flights Arriving in Da Nang from Around 3:00 PM Onward
For flights arriving at Da Nang Airport from around 3:00 PM onward, we do not recommend booking sightseeing stops, such as Hai Van Pass or Lang Co, on the way to Hue.
If your flight is delayed or you spend longer than expected at the airport, making sightseeing stops along the way could result in arriving in Hue after dark.
In this case, we recommend traveling directly from Da Nang Airport to your hotel in Hue to rest. You can save sightseeing stops for other trips when the timing is more suitable.
Flights Arriving in Da Nang After 7:00 PM
For flights arriving at Da Nang Airport after 7:00 PM, we typically arrange for a driver from Hue City to pick up passengers. This arrangement helps ensure that the driver does not have to return to Da Nang late at night after completing the transfer in Hue City.
For airport pickups after 7:00 PM, you may be required to pay a deposit or prepay so we can secure the vehicle and driver for your trip.
If You Are Staying at Alba Spa Thanh Tan
Alba Spa Hotel Thanh Tan is located north of Hue City, approximately 30 km from the city center.
Traveling there from Da Nang Airport takes significantly longer than traveling to hotels in central Hue. Consequently, travel time and vehicle rates will differ from those for drop-off locations in central Hue.
Providing Accurate Flight Information
Although the domestic and international terminals at Da Nang Airport are not far apart, it is important to specify exactly which terminal you will be arriving at. This information allows the driver to meet you at the correct location right after you exit the terminal.
When booking your ride, please provide us with:Â Flight number, and City or country of departure.
The flight number is usually sufficient to identify the flight and its schedule. However, flight schedules or flight numbers can sometimes change. Providing the departure point allows us to verify and track your flight more accurately.
This helps ensure that the driver can meet you at the right time, saving you from waiting at the airport and allowing you to quickly begin your long journey to Hue.
