Can I make a 1½ hours connection at SGN on an international flight?
1½ hours clears the 90-minute international minimum connection time at Tansonnhat International, but you should still head directly to your gate. There is no airside walkway linking Terminal 1 and Terminal 2; passengers exit one terminal building, cross a short roadway or take a free shuttle bus, and enter the other terminal from landside. Full re-screening through security is required for every terminal change, and international arrivals must also clear Vietnamese immigration before doing anything else. During peak periods the shuttle and curb can add real delay on top of the walk itself.
What happens if I miss my connection at SGN?
Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air have transfer desks in their respective terminals that can rebook missed connections on their own metal, but interline rebooking with other carriers is limited, so passengers should contact their airline's ground staff immediately upon realizing they will miss a flight.
