• Check if you need a transit visa: For example, some Chinese airports require a visa even for short layovers.
• Gate changes are common: Monitor airport screens closely or install the airline’s app for real-time updates.
• Prepare essentials in your carry-on: Keep toiletries, spare clothes, and a charger with you in case of delays or baggage issues.
• Food and rest: Use layover time to eat and move around to reduce stiffness and fatigue.

3.4. Dress Suitable for Your Destination

Vietnam has diverse climates depending on the region and time of year, so dressing right is important:

• Northern Vietnam (e.g., Hanoi): Winter (Nov - Feb) can be chilly (10 - 18°C), so pack jackets and warm layers.
