Local tips: what to know before flying to Ho Chi Minh City Airport
Those travelling with limited mobility would be best off planning their trip months in advance. Scheduling a reasonable amount of sights in one day is important for all travellers, regardless of their mobility. Ho Chi Minh is a stunning city, but its tropical climate and fast pace can exhaust even the fittest travellers. Visitors should remember to bring water everywhere they go and to use sun protection. In the tropics, sunblock can be the difference between a fantastic vacation and a serious sunburn. Locals prefer to arrive at the airport outside of peak hours, as traffic can become very congested around the city centre in the morning and evening. If they arrive in peak hours, locals will often spend some time enjoying the airport amenities, and then leave during less coachy times.
