Hi All,
We are travelling to Vietnam soon, and facing a bit of a problem with regards the Terminal change in HCMC
We fly in from Delhi on VN, and reach HCMC Terminal 2 at 0550
Then we have a connecting flight on VN to Phu Quoc from Terminal 3 at 0810 (a gap of 2 hrs 20 mins)
I booked the flight to Phu Quoc and this connection was provided by VN directly on their site.
I also believe that we will have to first go through immigration, then collect our baggage in HCMC and then check in again for Phu Quoc from a different terminal
Is this something that can be done easily in 2 hrs 20 mins? I keep reading that the immigration in HCMC takes a lot of time.
Also, is it easy to get a cab between terminals?

how did it work out ? I have same flight in few months. Did you cross immigration and got a visa since phu quoc is visa exempt?
I have the same flight in first week of august,
How was your experience in switching the terminals
Sure thing
No worries, but sorry l couldn’t really help.
Would love to hear how it all pans out, so it would be much appreciated, especially by future travellers, if you could return to the forum and let us know how it all works out.
Regards,
Scott
Thank you Scott
The new terminal opened after we were last there, however there is a bus between the two.
Takes 10 minutes, apparently.
I can only speculate on how it will all work, but my suspicion is that VA staff will help you make your connection.

Thanks Scott
What I meant is I booked the flight to Phu Quoc from Delhi on VN, and this was a stop over flight with a 2 hrs 20 mins stop in HCMC. So just booked one ticket, not 2 separate sectors
Assuming my fingers and toes are adequately crossed, could you please share your insight into how far are the 2 terminals? I read that they are like 200-300 meters, but we will need a cab I suppose since there will be luggage and old parents along
The other obvious choice is Fast Track, though quite expensive
“I booked the flight to Phu Quoc and this connection was provided by VN directly on their site.”
So it was booked on two tickets?
If so, cross your fingers and toes that first of all your international flight is on time.
Then immigration isn’t too busy.
That your bags appear in a timely manner.
And you can reach the other terminal while check in is still open.
If, on the other hand, it was in fact all booked on one ticket, then it won’t be your problem should it all go wrong.
VA will deal with the issue.
