Departing from Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)

Located 35 miles from downtown Hanoi, Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is the second busiest airport in Vietnam. HAN handles the needs of 20.5 million passengers annually via two terminals– the older T1 for domestic flights and the modern and well-equipped T2 for international flights. Major airlines often suggest arriving three hours early for international flights, but it’s always a smart idea to check with your airline for their current recommendations. While Noi Bai International Airport serves dozens of commercial and cargo airlines, it’s a permanent hub for Cambodia Angkor Air, Jetstar Pacific Airlines, VietJet Air, and Vietnam Airlines.

After the inception of T2, HAN won Skytrax’ World's Most Improved Airport Award, so visitors can feel confident with the service and amenities. Noi Bai offers free WIFI, but speed and connection can be difficult in the area. Baby care facilities and child play areas can be accessed throughout the airport. Free drinking water, dining, and plenty of shopping options are also available in both terminals. Showers can be accessed in the Business Lounge on level 4 of T2. And T2 also offers the cleanest and most comfortable temporary or overnight rest zones or paid sleep pods.

Arriving at Vancouver

Vancouver, BC has three active airports. But Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is most commonly used for international needs. Located 12 km from downtown, this two terminal (International and Domestic) airport handles the needs of over 22 million passengers. It’s earned the Best North American Airport award from Skytrax from 2010 through 2016 and continues proving its worth by being the second busiest airport in Canada. YVR serves dozens of commercial and cargo airlines, but it’s a permanent hub for Air Canada, Pacific Coastal Airlines, and WestJet.

Free WIFI is always available as are plenty of shops and eateries. Premium and Air Canada lounges are open to those who want to pay for solitude or take a shower. Child play areas, a chapel, and quiet zones offer peace of mind. Visit the aquarium displays in the International Terminal handle, treat yourself to some spa services, or take care of your dental needs before leaving the airport. Multiple hotels provide free shuttles to registered guests, and car rental agencies are located on the parkade’s ground floor.
