When alternates matter
HPH Haiphong (Hai An) is the closest retained alternate at 553 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
danangairportonline.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Da Nang is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Da Nang is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Da Nang International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
