How Noi Bai fast track works

  1. 1Send your flight

    Share your flight number, arrival time and number of travellers through the form or WhatsApp at least 48 hours before you land.

  2. 2Confirm names and passports

    We check names against your passport pages and your e-visa, then confirm the meeting point and your driver's details.

  3. 3Approve and pay

    You approve the quote and pay; we book the airport agent and the vehicle and send you a written confirmation.

  4. 4Meet before immigration

    Your agent waits with your name before the immigration hall, walks you through to the arrivals exit and hands you over to your driver.

What we need to book

  • Flight number and scheduled arrival or departure time
  • Full names exactly as printed in each passport
  • Photo of each passport data page
  • Number of travellers and pieces of checked luggage
  • Hotel name or drop-off address for the private transfer
  • Your approved e-visa PDF, if your passport needs one

When to book Noi Bai fast track

Book at least 48 hours before your flight lands so we can register your names with the airport agent. Many long-haul flights from Europe, India and Australia reach Hanoi late in the evening or early in the morning, often in waves, and that is when the immigration hall is busiest. With fast track the process is usually noticeably quicker at peak times, but the actual wait depends on the day and on how many lanes the airport opens.

If you still need an e-visa, apply one to two weeks before departure. We can handle it in the same booking.

Noi Bai Airport and the drive into Hanoi

International flights use Terminal 2 at Noi Bai, north of the Red River. The Old Quarter is about 27 to 30 km away, roughly 45 to 60 minutes by car via the Nhat Tan bridge, longer at evening rush hour. Taxis queue outside, but on arrival day most travellers want one thing: a driver who already knows the hotel, the narrow Old Quarter lanes and where a car can actually stop.

Hanoi is also the gateway to Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay. Many guests land in the morning and go straight to the limestone country or a cruise pier instead of spending a night in the city first. We can quote that transfer directly from the airport.

Arrival at Noi Bai, step by step

  1. Leave the aircraft and follow the signs towards immigration. Your agent waits with a name sign before the immigration counters.
  2. The agent checks that your passport, e-visa printout and arrival details are ready, and helps with any forms.
  3. You are guided to the priority or fast track lane when Noi Bai has it open that day; otherwise the agent queues the most efficient line with you.
  4. After passport control, the agent helps you find the right belt, collect your bags and pass customs.
  5. At the arrivals exit you meet your private driver, who takes you to your hotel in the Old Quarter, the French Quarter or West Lake.

Departure fast track from Hanoi

On your way home, the agent meets you in the Terminal 2 departures hall, helps with check-in and baggage drop, and guides you to the priority security and exit immigration lanes where they are available. This is particularly useful for families with older parents, for travellers with mobility needs, or for anyone catching a tight connection on a busy evening.

Departure fast track can be combined with a private car from your hotel, timed to your flight.
