Passengers have been advised to arrive at HCM City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport earlier than usual during the coming New Year or Tet Lunar New Year holidays to avoid congestion.
On New Year’s until January 2, the airport is expected to serve between 680-740 flights or 110,000-120,000 passengers per day. While during the peak time around Tet, from January 26 to February 24, the airport will serve between 860-900 flights per day operated by 53 airlines, equal to 135,000-140,000 passengers, according to the airport management board.
Roads to the airport may face congestion during Tet. So the airport management board has advised passengers to come to the airport two hours before domestic flight departures and three hours before international flights.
The check-in counters will close 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time for domestic flights and 50 minutes for international flights. The boarding gates will close 15 minutes before departure time.
Individuals aged 14 and above have to carefully check their personal documents, ensuring they are still valid for use.
People can also use eID accounts at Level 2 to use the VNeID app for security checks for domestic flights instead of using conventional documents such as national identification cards.
