Buy a $5 dollar bus ticket on a platform like VeXeRe. Once you print the confirmation you can cancel very easily... or keep it depending on how precious you are about $5 dollars.

Yeah that's common knowledge but we don't normally do that because Vietnam doesn't require that.

That's a better tip for Thailand.

Here specifically it would be good to know about what individual airlines are doing, not only about continuing tickets but also in case they have individual requirements regarding covid.

I have one travel restriction while transiting/connecting through an airport enroute to Vietnam:

No overnight connection allowed thru Canada. For example, my flight was YYZ (Toronto) to YVR (Vancouver) to ICN (Seoul) and on to HAN. I was scheduled to arrive in YVR at 23:00 and connect to ICN /HAN at 02:00 (overnight). Per the official government of Canada websites, no overnight connections such as the above are allowed. I contacted my carrier on this restriction and they apologized for the error in booking this illegal connection, and rebooked me. As with other procedures linked to the CoVid, you must be vigilant and not assume your airline and others are aware of the procedures that they themselves publish.

The new ministry of health guidelines in Vietnam do not require a vaccine or proof of vaccine to enter the country.

I wonder if there are airlines or transit countries that do?

When I came to Cambodia in February and transited through BKK medical insurance for Thailand was required. I think this might have changed.

Thanks PW!

That's exactly the kind of information I've been wondering about.

Instead of asking about all countries and airlines, maybe better to pick a route, then read the specifics?

We are flying in May, SGN-Tokyo HND-SFO, returning the same way. United ticketing on an ANA flight.Ìý

Only $720 RT but long layover.Ìý Next reasonable option on Kayak was $1200 RT.

The info on the website was very clear what they require, and of course we will double check nearer the departure date.

Warning about Tokyo: Most ANA flights from SGN arrive at HND or NRT, but the flight to SFO is at the OTHER airport.Ìý Big problem because, besides the fact that you need to go to departures, collect your bags, ride bus, check your bags again at arrivals, + security gate, is that you are entering Japan so you have to deal with corona procedures.Ìý Our flights are both in HND so we just go through transit.

There is a common misconception that these travel sites give lower prices. Always go to the main carrier website and the same ticket is normally cheaper. Airlines many years ago paid the travel sites for each ticket issued but no longer do that so the travel site marks up the tickets.Ìý

@KateJamesVietnam

@OceanBeach92107 i am under the impression that the individual countries , in your case Vietnam would be the one to reinforce their immigration policies to the airlines. Making the airline "responsible" for deportation costs if the individual is not able to pay, hence airlines being vigorous for checking the basics like visa, expiry date etc. In short if Vietnam is OK they'll be OK. To make sure and double sureÌý your best bet is to call the airlines or tweet them

I left VN in Jun 2022 with 2 yrs TRC.Ìý Currently in-bound to Ná»™i Bài this weekend... what is the entry procedure with TRC.Ìý Thanks in advance.
