        Book early and send the right details

        Tet cars fill fast, so book as soon as your relatives have tickets. Send the flight number, date, number of people, suitcases and boxes, and the phone or Zalo of the person being met. The driver tracks the flight in an app; if it is delayed, the car waits with no waiting fee. Details in will the pickup wait if my flight is late.

        Meeting point: domestic or international

        Relatives flying in from abroad come out at the international terminal; domestic flights at the domestic terminal. Tell us which when booking. The driver calls after landing and agrees a spot in the arrivals hall. For older relatives or first-time visitors, you can request a name board in your booking note.
