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 ...

to add on..Vietnam airline planes are damn bloody old and dirty.

Take grab or uber is good.
More safe n there is gps tracking.
Just wait a few mins for the car to arrive only, cannot wait ?
Plus the fate is cheaper n less risk u get into rouge cab who charge u high price or the meter is tempered n jump very fast.

Travelling alone to Danang, but staying at Angsana Lang Co. Anyone knows more about that area? Do I have to venture into Danang city area for food & drinks etc? Couldn't find much info other than the standard day tours and heritage stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Btw, angsana is in Hue and not Danang. Hue is 1 hour from Danang by car.

Nothing much in Danang except the long beach front, 2 wholesale markets, pink cathedral, dragon bridge and a chinese temple on the hillside.

Planning to go HCM this july with a buddy for very first time

Any reasonable good budget hotels to recommend?

Taking scoot ok? Saw some recommended SIA

Stay in A&E Phan Boi Chan twice, around $70 per night for 2
Just opposite the famous market, at night below hotel many vendors set up to sell clothing, foods and many others. Good wifi and hotel service but breakfast is standard everyday.

stranger to HCM, can point to right direction?

Which markets or malls should i go?

I only know Ben Thanh market (in front the hotel I mention) and Binh Tay Market (Chinatown). I can't remember the name of the mall I went, as I just follow my friend, it's quite far away.

Which budget airline flies to HCM?
Jetstar, tiger, vietjet
jetstar usually have 75+ to 90+ promo
tiger prices usually 100+ , same as vietjet
Scoot doesnt fly to hcm ...

Full Fledged to HCM:
Singapore airline - promo usually $ 188 onwards
vietnam airlines - promo usually $ 200+ onwards
Vietnam airline uses smaller aircraft, similiar to jetstar tiger ...
people have commented their plane is old, some have no tv

Better to fly singapore airline a330, bigger aircraft, better service
