3.2. Be Cautious When Strangers Approach You

While waiting for connecting flights or spending time in airport lounges, it's normal to chat with fellow passengers. However, avoid disclosing personal information such as your full name, hometown, or travel plans, especially to people you have just met.

Also, do not agree to watch over someone else's luggage, even if the request seems harmless. In some unfortunate cases, this has led to serious legal trouble or personal inconvenience. Staying alert helps protect both your belongings and your peace of mind.

3.3. Arrive at The Airport As Early As You Can

For international flights from Hanoi to India, it’s highly recommended to arrive at Noi Bai International Airport at least 3 hours in advance. This gives you enough time to check in, go through immigration and security procedures, and choose your preferred seat if available. Early arrival also allows some flexibility in case of long queues, last-minute changes, or unexpected delays.

3.4. Find The Right Place to Exchange Currency

Before traveling to India, don’t forget to exchange Vietnamese Dong (VND) into Indian Rupees (INR). The most reliable and safe places to exchange money are major Vietnamese banks, licensed currency exchange counters at airports, or official booths near tourist areas. Avoid street vendors or unauthorized services, as they may offer unfavorable rates or even counterfeit currency.

Exchange rates fluctuate daily, but generally, INR 1 is equal to around VND 300 - VND 310. It's advisable to convert a small amount in Vietnam before departure for immediate use and then exchange the rest in India if needed. Also, always ask for a receipt when exchanging money for transparency and security.
