Ninh Binh to Noi Bai Airport Destination Reviews

We had to change 2 times vehicle which was not advertised as such. We were also asked to be 30min before advertised time at the bus pickup. The ride on the 3th vehicle was in an old smelly car with the airco not working and fans blowing in the face. The driver was also very unpleasant.

In total we had to switch cars 2 times. For the first 30 minutes, we drove with a car in very bad state without seatbelts. The next car was nice, but for the last 1.3 hours we had to switch to a small car, even though we booked a limousine. It was very tight with 4 persons in it and not what we booked.

Picked up by car, drove 30 minutes to bus, drove 2 hours on bus, brought by car for 1 hr to Hanoi airport, very misleading, says shuttle bus in description is used at end of trip. Very uncomfortable overall experience.

Got me there on time but really disorganised and no communication. I booked for 11am pick up which was then changed to 10:15am with 30mins notice and was transferred across 3 different vehicles.

Transfer from Tam Coc to Hanoi airport. Final result was good since we reached the airport alive and on time. Communication via WhatsApp was OK. Nevertheless, there was no mention that we would have to change 3 separate vehicles (mini vans and cars). Second, the drivers in Hanoi (in the last change) were at a loss with how to distribute passengers to cars and even dropped our bags down. Third, our final driver was driving recklessly, too fast and without respecting any rules (even for Hanoi standards!). He would not respond after us using Translate to explain and had to message central office.

We had to change twice the bus/car, while the last trip from Hanoi to airport was just in a private kind of car.

Too much luggage when full bus. People had it on their laps and all isles where full. They knew we were going to airport.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
