About Tan Son Nhat International Airport

Ho Chi Minh City experiences tropical monsoon with heavy rain (May-November). Generally moderate turbulence.

Is Ho Chi Minh City Airport turbulent?

Ho Chi Minh City experiences typical Southeast Asian monsoon weather. The wet season (May-November) brings daily afternoon thunderstorms that cause delays. The dry season offers much calmer conditions. Unlike northern Vietnam, the south rarely experiences typhoon impacts due to its lower latitude position.

  • Wet season runs May through November
  • Daily afternoon thunderstorms during monsoon
  • Lower typhoon risk than northern Vietnam
How does monsoon affect Saigon flights?

Monsoon brings predictable afternoon thunderstorms that develop rapidly in the tropical heat. Morning flights typically depart before storm activity peaks. The storms are intense but short-lived, usually passing within an hour. Airlines schedule around the daily storm cycle.

When is the best time to fly from Ho Chi Minh City?

The dry season (December-April) offers excellent conditions with minimal weather delays. Wet season (May-November) brings daily afternoon storms but mornings are usually clear. Book early departures during monsoon season to avoid weather impacts.

Is turbulence at Ho Chi Minh City dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Ho Chi Minh City?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
