The short answer: international flights to Da Nang land at the airport's international terminal (T2), about 30 to 45 minutes by car from Hoi An. Queues are usually short in the day and can pass an hour when several late evening flights from Korea and other Asian cities land close together. Ava Travel arranges fast track there on request, often together with a car to Hoi An, and confirms the price within 1 hour.

When fast track helps most in Da Nang
- Late evening and night arrivals, when flights from Seoul, Busan and other Asian cities arrive in waves.
- Travellers going straight on to Hoi An, who want to reach the hotel before midnight.
- Families with small children after a connection in Hanoi, Singapore or Bangkok.
In the middle of the day the queue is often short and fast track is rarely worth it. Fast track services on booking sites start at about US$14 per person at Da Nang. Ava Travel quotes it together with the car, so you have one person to call if the flight is late.
From the airport to Hoi An or the beach
Hoi An is about 30 km south, 30 to 45 minutes by car; the beach hotels on My Khe are 10 to 15 minutes. See private car transfers for car prices across central Vietnam, and Ava Travel's e-visa service if you also need the e-visa.
