Hi,
Is it possible to walk from the International terminal to the Domestic terminal in Tan Son Nhat airport?
How far is the building apart and what is the walking time / distance.

I want to go to Hai Phong from Singapore. Instead of flying to Ha Noi, then聽 take a 2 hour taxi from Ha Noi to Hai Phong, I am taking a flight to HCM from Singapore, then a domestic flight from HCM to Hai Phong on the same day. I have just 1-2 hour to clear immigration, and walk to domestic terminal to check-in for my flight to Hai Phong.

Thank you.

They are no more than the length of a football pitch apart. You can walk over in about 5 minutes.

leoibh0602 you might be cutting it a little close. Here's a link for check-in times information:

I think they have shuttle bus service between the terminals also.

The walk to the Domestic terminal is only a few minutes. Your time to pass through immigration might be the problem depending on the number of flight arrivals.
