I took grab to airport, need wait for 6 min then come ...
whereas, on the street, so many cabs ... would be better to hop on to a cab ...

haha you rent bike there ? see them so dangerously driving ...
No, my hotel lend me their old bike. Without bike, it's hard to roam around. You can book grab, but you need to have a destination. When i roamed around, i discovered many nice eating places...

Your promo is only fare, exclude taxes ... with taxes in HCM is $213 cheapest
the fare for each way is $35
So $35+$35 + taxes = $ 213.40

Price is way more expensive than Singapore airline lowest fare $ 170, $ 188 this yr
With the fact that Singapore Airline uses A330 (bigger aircraft), vietnam airline is using a smaller aircraft, hence many would have chosen Singapore airline ...

Mai Linh - Green Color , scam cabs are in white (park outside ben thanh market)
No such things as mai linh cab in white color, like vinasun ...
Vinasun - In White

Both are good ... rmb , there would be companies or scam which uses similiar names or similar color ...
