From late night on January 27th (the 28th of the Lunar month) to the early morning of January 28th (the 29th of the Lunar month), Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City started to “cool down,” no longer experiencing the overload of previous days.
For a 7 am flight, Ms. Nguyen Bich Van (from Quang Nam) shared that on the 29th of the Lunar month, Tan Son Nhat Airport was no longer crowded as it was on previous days.
“The check-in and baggage check-in processes were quick and convenient, without long queues. Perhaps because everyone had returned to their hometowns for the Lunar New Year earlier, the airport was less crowded today,” said Ms. Van.
