Da Nang International Airport

Da Nang, Vietnam

Where to start
Grab from the signed ride-hailing pickup area, or a metered taxi from the taxi lane outside arrivals

Da Nang Airport is right on the edge of the city, so most rides into town are short; Hoi An is a longer drive south. Domestic flights use Terminal 1 and international flights Terminal 2. Taxis pick up in the second vehicle lane outside arrivals. Grab and Xanh SM are current app/taxi options. DanaBus Routes 12 and 06 serve the airport, and Hai Van runs a direct airport bus to Hoi An.
