Da Nang Airport

In a word - horrible! The most positive thing about this airport is it closeness to the CBD - not that Da Nang is a wonderful metropolis either. God help the elderly/wheelchair customers once they check in and have to navigate 3 flights of stairs - no lift access. As previously mentioned you are plonked in a Waiting area with seats and not much else. Obviously a very old airport which has NEVER been updated. No boarding calls made whatsoever - just noticed everyone rushing towards the ticket counter only to walk down 3 more flights of stairs then plonked on a bus to drive you out to the plane.

Airport is very close to town. Was a US military base and it appears that few changes have been done since the US left (even the US "welcome" sign is still on the roof of the original terminal). Check in area looks to be from the US military period. Waiting area is very small. There are no true shops in the departure area only counters like in a department store where a very limited selection of items is on sale. Very limited food and bar service was available. The airport is a big step down from an airport like Tan San Nhat (SGN) in Ho Chi Min City.

Arrived at Danang from Hanoi: terminal basic but luggage quickly arrived and departure from the terminal was quick after a check at the exit of luggage tags. Plenty of taxis available for the short trip into town.
