T1 and T2 terminals
Noi Bai is divided into domestic terminal T1 and international terminal T2. If you are connecting between an international and domestic flight, check the terminal in advance. A free shuttle operates between T1 and T2.
Taxi and Grab
These are the easiest options after a long flight. For ride-hailing, the pickup point matters: the airport may direct passengers to a specific zone. Match the vehicle plate and driver name, and check any airport or road surcharges.
Bus
Public transport runs from Noi Bai into Hanoi. It is cheaper than a private car but less convenient with heavy luggage or a late-night arrival. Check the current route, final stop, and operating hours before you travel because transport arrangements can change.
Private transfer
A private transfer is useful for families, groups, or late arrivals. Before paying, ask exactly where the driver will meet you, how long they wait for delays, and whether tolls, airport, or parking charges are included.
