The SIN Entry Port Error — Most Common Australian Mistake
Australia's most popular Vietnam routes transit through Singapore (Singapore Airlines, Scoot) or Kuala Lumpur (AirAsia). The transit hub is never the entry port. The entry port is the Vietnamese airport where the plane lands after the transit.
| Australian city | Common route | Wrong port | Correct port |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney (SYD) | SYD–SIN–SGN (Scoot/SQ) | SIN | SGN |
| Sydney (SYD) | SYD–SIN–HAN (Singapore Airlines) | SIN | HAN |
| Melbourne (MEL) | MEL–SIN–SGN or HAN | SIN | SGN or HAN |
| Brisbane (BNE) | BNE–SIN–SGN or BNE–KUL–SGN | SIN or KUL | SGN |
| Perth (PER) | PER–KUL–SGN (AirAsia) | KUL | SGN |
| Any city | Any route via Da Nang | SIN or KUL | DAD |
Rule: open booking confirmation → find the Vietnam-landing segment → "Arrives" IATA code = entry port. Never the departure or transit airport.
