Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport(Sân bay quốc tế Nội Bài ) was originally built for use by the Vietnamese Airforce and after the Vietnam Unification way back in 1975,the airport has now served as the main commercial airlines hub of the North.

The airport is about 45km north of Hanoi city.
For the new arrivals,getting to the city with the most economical cost is the main criteria so don't get despair as there were multiple choice to serve your personality.

   As you exited from the arrival hall towards your right were most of the minibuses and VIP buses to Hanoi city.

There will be a representative from the minibus companies to provide assistance on the spot.

 The fares is between USD2 to USD3 and if you have heavy load of luggages which needed to occupy a seat,this will be charged accordingly.

The Vietnamese were very courteous and friendly.





After the minibus bays will be the bigger bus section.

Here this signboard is from the Kumho Viethanh Bus Company (Korea Kumho Express Kumho Asiana Group).

The fares is 35,000VND or around USD2 (subject to changes if world oil price escalate)

Tuyen Duong (bus routes):Au Co-Yen Phu-Tran Quang Khai-Nha Hat Lon-Quang Trung-Con Vien Thong Huat.







Kumho-Vietnam's Thanh Korea buslines has a red/orange body.
They made hourly trips to and fro the airport between 07:00am till 07:00pm.

 Kumho Asiana Group also owns the Kumho Asiana Plaza in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,which was opened on September 30th, 2009.

 Kumho Asiana Plaza is a premium large-scale residential-commercial complex, and includes a five-star hotel with 305 guestrooms, 260 apartments, and offices and stores in three buildings.

The buildings thus emerge as a landmark that symbolizes Korea’s advancement into the Vietnamese market.

Their services was quite good when I travelled from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh in Cambodia using the Kumho Samco Buslines.







Exotissimo World Travel is a very popular inbound travel agency in Indo China which was formed in Ho Chi Minh City way back in 1993.

 The Hanoi main office is along Tran Nhat Duat Road,the same row with Vietcom Bank Headquarters Building and a few blocks from Kumho Bus Ticketing Office.

 Not all travellers like to walk around in such a big city so seeking the services of travel agencies can be a good option.
