The international terminal T2 of Da Nang International Airport (DAD) serves international flights, while domestic flights use terminal T1. The two terminals are joined by a walk of about 5 minutes. Here is what to expect at T2 for immigration, connections, taxis, buses and SIM cards, and what to send the car service before you land.
The meeting point and the contact channel are checked against your terminal before the trip is confirmed.
- Step 1: Complete immigration and collect your luggage.
- Step 2: Walk out into the T2 international arrivals hall.
- Step 3: The driver meets you in the international arrivals hall with a name board showing your name; you can also confirm by WhatsApp, Zalo or phone.
- Step 4: Go to the car once both sides have confirmed the trip details.
Walking between T2 and T1
At Da Nang International Airport, a passenger arriving on an international flight and connecting to a domestic one still goes through immigration and collects baggage as on any international arrival. After leaving the arrivals door, turn right and walk along the covered walkway that joins the two terminals; the walk takes about 5 minutes to reach the domestic terminal. At T1, take the lift or stairs up to the check-in area on the second floor.
In the other direction, a passenger going from a domestic flight to an international one collects checked baggage, leaves to the public area, then goes up to the second floor of T2 to check in for the next flight. For an international-to-international connection inside T2, the airport has its own transfer desk, and the contact number for each airline is on the airport’s page.
For someone booking a car, this means the two terminals are close but do not share an arrivals hall. State which terminal the flight lands at and send the flight number, so the meeting point is not mixed up between T1 and T2.
After leaving the T2 arrivals hall
- Taxi: metered, running day and night just outside the arrivals hall of both terminals. The airport advises carrying cash because only some companies accept cards, and it states that a gate fee may be added.

- SIM and Wi-Fi: SIM cards are sold at counters in the baggage claim area, and the terminal has free Wi-Fi.
- A private car booked in advance: the driver meets you in the international arrivals hall of T2 with a name board showing your name. If you cannot see the driver, message through the channel in the confirmation.
