AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
A free shuttle bus links Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with the ride itself taking about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic and curb congestion outside. Because the terminals are landside-connected rather than through a sterile corridor, all passengers must clear security screening again upon entering either terminal, and immigration/customs applies when arriving from or departing to international destinations.

Common Questions
Is 30 minutes enough for a layover at HAN?

Still insufficient given the bus transfer alone can take 15+ minutes before any security line. See full 30 min guide →

Is 45 minutes enough for a layover at HAN?

This matches the domestic-to-domestic minimum but leaves zero margin for a late-arriving aircraft. See full 45 min guide →

Is 1 hour enough for a layover at HAN?

Domestic-domestic is comfortable now, but international transfers via the shuttle bus are still cutting it close. See full 1 hr guide →

Is 1 hour 15 min enough for a layover at HAN?

This meets the stated minimum for domestic-international or international-domestic transfers but assumes no bus or immigration delays. See full 1¼ hr guide →

Is 1½ hours enough for a layover at HAN?

Enough time to cover the shuttle bus, re-screening, and immigration for most terminal-crossing connections. See full 1½ hr guide →

Is 2 hours enough for a layover at HAN?

Solid cushion even if the shuttle bus is delayed by Hanoi road traffic or security lines are longer than usual. See full 2 hr guide →

Is 2½ hours enough for a layover at HAN?

Ample time for any combination of terminals, including slower immigration processing during peak arrival banks. See full 2½ hr guide →

Very comfortable, allowing for a meal or lounge visit even after clearing the terminal transfer. See full 3 hr guide →

Is 4 hours enough for a layover at HAN?

More time than needed for any connection type, though it may mean a long wait given Noi Bai's limited airside amenities. See full 4 hr guide →
