Travelers looking to fly to Dalat will need to first book tickets to a nearby Vietnamese or Southeast Asian hub airport, because while Da Lat does have its own airport, it does not handle international flights from most international countries. Most tourists booking flights to Dalat will first land at one of Vietnam’s major international airports, including Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City, Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi, or Da Nang International Airport (DAD) in Da Nang. Once in Vietnam, travelers can fly to Dalat via a short, 1-2 hour connecting domestic flight. In fact, flights from HCMC to Dalat are just 50 minutes long, and you can find daily Ho Chi Minh to Dalat flights on a number of airlines, including Pacific Airlines, VietJet Air, and Vietnam Airlines. When you purchase Ho Chi Minh to Dalat flights or Saigon to Dalat flights, you will land at the Lien Khuong International Airport (DLI) located in Duc Trong district, about 20 miles (30 kilometers) south of the city. Grab a taxi or shuttle bus to take you to the city center, about 30-45 minutes away.

Travelers who book Da Lat flights come for many reasons, including its architecture, cuisine, and countryside charm. Once a summer getaway for the French, Da Lat, sometimes referred to as “The Paris of Vietnam,'' today features European-inspired architecture that attracts tourists from all over the world. Those who fly to Dalat looking to explore the city’s colonial history can visit any number of interesting sites, but not to be missed are the Dalat Railway Station, Bao Dai’s Summer Palace, and the Dalat Cathedral. The Railway Station is an iconic and beautiful landmark dating back to the 1930s. Tourists can view vintage trains restored to resemble early 20th century railcars in this Art Deco-style station. At the Summer Palace, also dating back to the 1930s, tourists can get a glimpse into the royal life of Vietnam’s last emperor and take in the building’s dramatic Art Deco architecture. A stop at the Dalat Cathedral showcases even more of the city’s French colonial architecture, and tourists can enjoy the bronze chicken statue that sits atop the church’s bell tower, giving the cathedral its nickname of the “Chicken Church.”

While some fly to Dalat for its history, others, including many backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts, book Da Lat flights – especially during peak season of December through March – to enjoy the mountain town’s natural beauty. During peak season, travelers can expect cool, dry weather and crisp mountain air, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, and enjoying the area’s natural attractions, including the Datanla and Prenn waterfalls, and Tuyen Lam Lake. Many people book flights to Dalat during peak season to see the flower in full bloom, including cherry blossoms, wild sunflowers, and hydrangeas. Every two years in December, the city holds the Dalat Flower Festival with expansive floral displays, art installations, and parades.

Couples, especially honeymooners, often search for Da Lat flights, as the city is a popular romantic destination. The Valley of Love, dating back to the 1930s when it was a romantic hideaway for French couples, is an especially popular getaway location for couples, featuring gardens, a lake with paddle boats, and more.
