Either combos are doable actually.
Hanoi danang in Jan will be cold
Hcmc danang will be hot in hcmc and cold in danang

Anyone flying to hcmc during the peak hours… and in a rush, i highly recommend to get the VIP fast track via TRIP.com or agoda. It really saves tons of time rather than wasting 1-2 hours stuck in the immigration area

Flying into HCM in Dec and expected to reach 0800 local time.

Would that be considered peak hour and expected long wait at immigration?

Wow what's the reason for getting stuck at arrival? To clear passport chop? 1-2 hours seems super long lol.

Its rare for arrival immigration to be packed at 8am. Recently its pretty empty. But it will still take like 20mins due to few counters open.

Firstly… they consolidated to one MEGA Q which will then split into smaller Qs in front of the various passport chop counters.

there is no real reasons… some take their own sweet time… others are more thorough… ayway these are customs officers, dont think they have KPI to clear the Q asap lolx

It depends on the ATM, or its bank, to be specific, not the YouTrip card. The question you google is "Lowest ATM Fee in Vietnam".

In Hanoi… so far I have no fees with Sacombank, Agribank, Vietcombank, Techcombank and Bac A Bank

Look for ATM which has MASTRO or MAESTRO logo.
If one fails… just keep changing atm with Maestro logo.

Thanks, some reddit mentioned TP and VP banks.will take note of the Maestro logo as well

YouTrip is widely accepted. I used maps on my mobile in HCM and Hanoi, not an issue.
