Tan Son Nhat Terminal T3: Be careful not to make mistakes

Travel demand increased during the September 2 holiday, but the story of going to the wrong Tan Son Nhat terminal has caused many people to encounter it. A representative of Tan Son Nhat International Airport noted that from August 19, all domestic flights of Vietnam Airlines Group, Bamboo Airways and Vietravel Airlines have switched to operating at Terminal T3 of Tan Son Nhat Airport. Only Vietjet remains at Terminal T1.

The first week saw many passengers arriving at the wrong station and having to change flights at the last minute. Airlines were forced to adopt a policy of supporting free ticket changes.
