Getting from Hoi An to Chu Lai Airport for Your Flight

A private car from Hoi An to Chu Lai Airport: the pickup point and your flight

From Hoi An, Chu Lai Airport is about 75 km and 1.5 hours away, closer than from Da Nang (about 90 km, 1 hour 48 minutes). The airport is in the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone in Nui Thanh, south of Hoi An, and has a single passenger terminal with commercial routes to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Chu Lai has only domestic commercial routes, and schedules change by season.

Choosing the pickup point in Hoi An

For a stay inside the pedestrian zone of the old town, vehicles cannot enter at set hours, so meet at a point outside the restricted zone, as in the guide to where to catch your private car in Hoi An at night. Send the name and address of your stay so dispatch can confirm the pickup point.

Working back from your flight

An illustration, not a rule: a flight departs at 11:00 and you want to be at the terminal about 2 hours before, at 9:00, so the car leaves Hoi An at about 7:00, which leaves about 2 hours for the 1.5 hours of driving plus a buffer. The airline sets the check-in desk closing time, so read it on your ticket.

Chu Lai Airport or Da Nang Airport

From Hoi An, Da Nang Airport is also an option; the two airports have different routes, so choose by the flight you have bought. Da Nang Airport has its own international terminal (T2). Compare the Hoi An to Da Nang Airport private car route and the guide to booking a car from Hoi An to Da Nang Airport.
