About $150. I always travel by tiger airway. Never go jetstar. Had really bad experience. Forever delay.
Visit da nang or hoi an!! Very beautiful city :)

depends on each person
have flew jetstar more than 10x last year lol ...
feel jetstar better ...

so far jetstar quite on time ...
tiger and scoot would definitely have delay issue one ...
have experienced few times ...
jetstar some aircraft quite new ...

Can go to Halong bay, which takes about 3 hours + from Hanoi
Another option is the Trang An scenic complex aka the inland Halong bay, also another unesco heritage. Located in Ninh Binh province, south of Hanoi, about 2 hour ride

oops, think i got the geography a bit mixed up. Anywhere nearby Hanoi good for a day trip to recommend then?

Many ppl underestimate the vastness of Vietnam lol. The distance and difference between the northernmost city and southernmost city in Vietnam is as much as that between Beijing and guangzhou

Or can take overnight coach and sleep on the coach. Not recommended though. Also can try go to Nha Trang and Da Lat together. Take flight to Nha Trang. Coach from Nha Trang to Da Lat then take flight back from Da Lat.

But personally I find Nha Trang too commercial. Prefer Phan Thiet, cheaper seafood and nearer too.

Any recommendations for hotels in Danang? Would it be better to stay in the city center or nearer to the My Khe beach?

Depends on what u plan to do. If u beach person of cos stay beach.
If u city person and wanna visit cham museum, piNk cathedral, dragon bridge and market, then of cos stay in city. Best to stay at riverside near the sinh Tourist area.
Nearby danang, good to visit places are marble and monkey mountains. And Bana Hill.

Its better to change when you reach HCM airport. Better still just change abit just for taxi money to ben tham market and look for the money changers there. Rates are much better.

that time the airport rate and the BT market rate same..

Last time i always took tiger to hcm.Always delay 1.Buai tahan.

Bus ride from hcm to nha trang already 12hr. Faint... lol

If u find Saigon alr too congested, I suggest going to Can Tho, the capital city of Mekong delta. Only 4 hour bus ride from Saigon. Not as big or developed, but things are slower, cheaper, foods are fresher. And it's well known for the girls, sweetest and loveliest in the region if not the whole country

Ca tho girls are sweet and pretty....:D
