Flights

Included: Internal flight tickets: Ho Chi Minh City - Hoi An; Hue - Hanoi (Economy class) by Vietnam Airlines or similar including fuel charge and airport taxes. Checked baggage allowance: 20kg and Handbag allowance: 7kg. ----------------------- The cost of internal airfares will need to be paid separately upon arrival at the destination as a local payment. The internal airfare fee is a separate charge from the main tour cost and is paid upon arrival. This is because the cost of internal airfare can vary based on a number of factors, such as the time of year, availability of flights, and fuel prices. By separating the internal airfare fee from the main tour cost, Legend Travel Group is able to offer a more accurate and transparent price for our customers. Additionally, if your trip is cancelled at the last minute due to factors such as the Covid-19 pandemic or other reasons, you will not be responsible for paying the internal airfare fee. This ensures that customers are not charged for services that they do not receive.

Optional

If you plan to arrive before the scheduled departure date of your trip or depart later than the trip’s end date, you need not worry about your airport pick-up and transfer. Our services are available for you flexibly, and we can arrange for your transportation to and from the airport accordingly. We would like to emphasize that all transfers are included in your booking, and you don’t have to pay any additional costs for these services. Additionally, if you require pre or post-trip accommodation, we can arrange for you to stay at the same hotel where your tour is scheduled. This ensures that you have a seamless travel experience and can fully enjoy your time in the destination without any worries. Please let us know of any special requests or requirements you may have so that we can make appropriate arrangements and ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip for you.
