A delayed flight or a late-night landing is a familiar experience for air travellers. At Da Nang International Airport, a flight pushed back by one to several hours can completely change your plan to get to the hotel. Knowing how to pass on updated flight information, and how to arrange the vehicle, lets your private car be prepared around your flight, even if you land at midnight or before dawn.

Four quick steps when the airline announces a delay
As soon as you receive a message or email from the airline about a change of flight time, pass the following details on to dispatch:
- Flight number and date: For example VN128 or VJ624 on 28 September.
- The new expected landing time: The latest landing time given in the airline’s notice.
- Arrival terminal: State whether you are on a domestic flight (T1) or an international flight (T2), so the driver waits in the right arrivals area.
- An online contact channel: A phone number linked to Zalo or WhatsApp, so the driver can message you the car plate and the pickup lane when you land.
If the delay notice reaches you while you are on the plane or out of signal, switch on your phone and send a message as soon as the aircraft touches down. Dispatch will check the car’s position again and adjust the pickup time.
Why book a chauffeured car for late-night flights?
After 19:00, public transport from Da Nang airport has stopped running: the city bus routes finish at 19:00, and buses to Hoi An stop at 16:00. From 22:00 until dawn, travellers mostly depend on taxis at the arrivals hall or on a private car booked in advance:
- Taxis at the arrivals hall: You may have to queue at times when several flights land together, and the metered fare can include a night surcharge or road tolls.
- Private car booked in advance: The vehicle is arranged for the flight you give us, at the fare listed on the route page. Sun Travel tracks that flight so the pickup time can be adjusted when you finish collecting your bags.
Waiting time and conditions at the airport
- Flight tracking: We track the flight by its number and adjust the pickup time.
- Baggage collection time: The time it takes to collect checked bags after landing varies from flight to flight, so the pickup time is confirmed for each trip.
- Cancelled or rescheduled flights: If the airline cancels the flight because of bad weather or a technical reason, send Sun Travel the notice so the pickup can be moved to the new flight. Any cancellation charge follows the trip terms in your confirmation.
Where to meet the driver after collecting bags late at night
Knowing where to meet the driver after late-night baggage collection avoids confusion:
- At Domestic Terminal T1: After you collect checked bags, leave through the ground-floor arrivals hall and walk to the private-car lane between pillars 1 and 5, opposite the terminal exit. The driver brings the car into the pickup lane and helps load your luggage.
- At International Terminal T2: The driver waits in the international arrivals hall with a name board, so international guests can spot the driver straight away after leaving the customs area.
