    is the flight included from ho chi mi to Da nang included?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Up Travel VietnamOperatorWritten May 2025

      domestic flight ticket from Ho Chi Minh to Da Nang is excluded. Because the airfare changes all the time so only after you book our tour package, I can check and inform you the exact price for domestic flight. At that time, I can help you book it with extra fee or you can book on your own (I can advise the suitable flight for you)
