The flight from Hanoi to Danang was at 6:00am, so I crawled out of bed about 3am and Trix half hour later. The airport taxi was waiting for us at 4am and I dozed off and on during the hour long journey to Noi Bai International Airport.
I found it amazing that the early morning flight was full and the queue to check in was long, at least 30 people were ahead of us at 5am!
We got ourselves checked in and into the departure waiting area to wait for boarding. Trix popped in a Novomin (for travel sickness) before the flight.
I loved the safety briefing in the Vietnam Airlines, it was projected on the inflight tv screens, which were folded down from certain overhead area (in between passengers' light switches). The flight to Danang was about an hour and the air stewardess managed to serve us cardboard box breakfast which had a small container of water and a very tough cinnamon roll. Trix mentioned that she noted Vietnam Airlines air stewardess generally don't smile. I saw for myself...of the 3 air stewardesses, only one smiled (from the duration we sat in the plane until we reached Danang).
Danang seemed to be a bustling new township with new construction projects underway. Along the way, after leaving the town, there were paddy fields everywhere (there were also corn fields and cemetaries alongside). About an hour later, we entered Hoi An town.
a preview to the quaint town and shopper's paradise for made-to-order clothes and silver accessories.
