3.2. Arrive Early at Changi Airport
For short-haul flights like Singapore to Hanoi, Changi Airport recommends arriving at least 2 hours before departure, though 3 hours provides a more comfortable buffer and time to enjoy the airport's amenities. Consider using online check-in to save time at the airport, and pack essential travel documents in your carry-on for easy access during the check-in process.
3.3. Choose a Smart Departure Time
Select mid-week flights (Tuesday or Wednesday) departing between 10:00 AM and 02:00 PM to avoid the early morning rush hour traffic. Consider the 3.5-hour flight duration and 1-hour time difference (Singapore is one hour ahead of Hanoi) when planning your arrival, allowing for a smoother transition through immigration and transportation to your accommodation before evening.
3.4. Select Your Seat Strategically
Select your seat according to your needs - window seats offer better rest, aisle seats provide easier mobility, exit rows ensure extra legroom, and front rows allow quicker boarding and exit. For a quieter and more comfortable experience, avoid seats near lavatories and galleys.

3.5. Prepare Entry Documents in Advance
Organize all required documents in a travel folder: passport, printed e-visa confirmation (with entry/exit points matching your actual travel plan), Vietnam Airlines e-ticket, hotel booking confirmations, and proof of onward travel, as immigration authorities may request evidence of your accommodation and return ticket upon arrival.
