3.2. Arrive at London Heathrow Airport Early
London Heathrow is the primary international airport serving the city, located approximately 26 km from Central London. It typically takes 30 – 60 minutes to reach the airport depending on traffic and your chosen mode of transport.
Vietnam Airlines recommends arriving at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. Heathrow can be busy, so early arrival allows time for check-in, immigration, and security. Use airport lounges or duty-free shopping to relax pre-flight.
3.3. Clear Immigration Quickly at Phu Quoc International Airport
Upon arriving at Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC), it’s essential to proceed promptly to the immigration area, especially if you land during peak hours. The airport often experiences high passenger volumes during the dry season - the best season to visit Phu Quoc. This can lead to lengthy queues and extended processing times at immigration.
To navigate this smoothly and avoid delays:
- Prepare your documents in advance: Have your passport, visa (if required), and completed customs/entry forms easily accessible.
- Follow signs for foreign passport holders and head straight to the appropriate queue without stopping at shops or restrooms beforehand.
- Stay alert and follow airport staff instructions to ensure you don’t miss any required steps.
Being organized and quick to queue can make a significant difference, especially during busy periods, and help you start your Phu Quoc journey with less stress.
3.5. Be Prepared for Sudden Weather Changes in London and Phu Quoc
Traveling from London to Phu Quoc means experiencing a dramatic shift in climate. While London has a cool, temperate maritime climate, often cloudy and rainy throughout the year; Phu Quoc Island offers a tropical climate with warm temperatures and high humidity nearly year-round, typically ranging from 27°C to 33°C (81°F to 91°F).
Key seasonal weather considerations:
- Dry Season (November to April): Expect clear skies and plenty of sunshine - perfect for beach activities and island tours. Pack light, breathable clothing, sun protection (hats, sunscreen, sunglasses), and swimwear.
- Rainy Season (May to October): Short but heavy showers, usually in the afternoon, are common. Bring a light rain jacket or compact umbrella, and consider quick-dry or waterproof footwear for comfort.
Temperature contrast:
In winter, London temperatures can fall to 1 - 8°C (34 - 46°F), while Phu Quoc stays warm and humid. Dress in layers for your departure, allowing you to shed outerwear upon arrival for a smooth, comfortable transition. Staying weather-aware helps you enjoy your trip from start to finish and ensures you're ready to embrace Phu Quoc’s tropical charm the moment you land.
