Lien Khuong Airport - What to Expect

Lien Khuong Airport serves Da Lat, Vietnam's romantic highland city set at 1,500 meters elevation in the central highlands. The town is known for its French colonial villas, cool pine-forested climate, flower gardens and the famous Crazy House architecture. Located 30 km from the city center, the airport handles 4 million passengers per year. A pre-booked transfer is the standard option as the airport is far from the city and local transport is limited.

Lien Khuong Airport serves the highland resort town that Vietnamese honeymooners have adored for generations. The cooler mountain climate and European-style architecture create a unique atmosphere.

Getting from DLI to Da Lat

Ground transport from Lien Khuong Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at DLI:

  • Pre-booked private transfer - fixed price from $6, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.

  • Ride-hailing apps - Grab and Gojek operates in Da Lat but airport pickup zones may be away from arrivals.
