By Plane – Is It Worth It?

Are There Direct Flights from Da Nang to Quy Nhon?

The short answer: no. There’s no direct flight operating between Da Nang and Quy Nhon at this time. If you want to fly, you’ll also need to book a connecting flight via either Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) or Hanoi (HAN).

Airlines that offer this route via connections:

• Vietnam Airlines
• VietJet Air
• Bamboo Airways

These air carriers have multiple flights per day in most of these sections, but timing is everything, right? The layovers can be as short as 50 minutes and stretch to several hours, depending on how much you care to have for a specific date.

Estimated Travel Time & Cost

Typical fare: Between 1,000,000 VND – 3,500,000 VND, depending on airlines, booking, and seasons.

Against the train, which takes about 5.5-6.5 hours, you’re not saving much time (if any) unless your layover is super short. And if you consider getting to and from airports, check-in queues, and security, the plane is not the swiftest door-to-door mode.
