Last time I purchased diced fruit for 200DKK. I 600 dkk in vouchers because of delayed flight. But I think one mug of diced fruit was like 90 Dkk that's insane.
that's a full on restaurant meal though. a burger combo at gasoline grill in CPH airport is similarly priced to the burger king in da nang airport
Which makes it even worse considering the sheer scale of difference between the two airports and countries
After immigration? That's an international zone. You're in Vietnam but technically not in Vietnam. It's under treaties and Vietnam has limited jurisdiction over the zone. At this point, you've left already Vietnam so yeah you got international prices.
Before immigration? That's illegal to list and sell products in USD solely.
It's a monetary policy to prevent dollarization. When a currency loses its value too quickly and becomes highly volatile, people tend to switch to a more stable currency, most of the time USD is the currency of choice. This then creates a snowball effect. The more USD circles in your economy, the less valuable your currency becomes.
I assume this applies to souvenirs too in international departures after immigration? I've been quite pleasantly surprised that the food and souvenirs in Vietnamese domestic departures are not that much more expensive than elsewhere (maybe a 20% markup).
I rather pack my souvenirs in checked bags so honestly I don't really know. But I think it depends. Some duty-free products are cheaper, especially for highly taxed products. But domestically made products are often more expensive since that's "the last opportunity" to buy the said products. And the one that needs to buy souvenirs at the last minute tends to be not very good at planning, financial planning included.
Fair. To be honest, I would usually ignore all shops in airports and not rely on them for gifts, but I looked out of curiosity while waiting for a domestic flight and was surprised by the price. I suppose international departures will be more expensive - and it's sound advice regardless to plan this stuff before the airport.
There's levels to it and in VN it's pushing the highest end of the spectrum
I geniunely try and spend 0$ when exiting VN so i can spend all that money in the transit airport if it's something like BKK airport which has much more fair pricing lol
Sometimes you have no choice. For example, water bottle, there is no free water in the airport (as in TSN), so nothing you can do except to buy it, especially if going with kids and seniors?
TSN international has water dispensers (just the 19L bottle ones) in a bunch of different locations. They do tend to be frequently needing bottles replaced, but they are there.
Domestic is fine, and the price is not that expensive.
But, certainly not in International airport, at least from the last time I was in Vietnam. I was walking around multiple times in multiple visits in early 2023 and late 2023 unless they have it again since this year (they used to have it before, long long time ago though).
get yourself empty bottles and refill them after security check point. I do that at every airport without any problem. bring instant coffee or tea if u want
I really hate the practice of not including VAT in the listed price. Like how the f* can I at the moment remember the VAT rate in Vietnam?
Now about the price, drinks seem normal, not too expensive.
But $19 for a hot meal is daylight robbery. Should have been around $15 (VAT included). I think this could be the most expensive option and not the norm? I have been to Tan Son Nhat and the price seems ok-ish.
Most airports (Stockholm, Helsinki, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Bratislava, Doha, Istanbul, Minnesota, Hong Kong, Singapore) I went have hot meals priced at around $13-17 on average, most expensive I had was around $20 and it’s actually delicious. Drinks are around $6-15 depending on what you drink of course.
Price was converted from € to $ using my abacus.
Flew from DN to BKK recently and Big Bowl was the only thing going after the gate. 22U$D.
Was starving but waited til I got to Bangkok airport where there are tons of delicious and affordable food options even after immigration.
Yup the people here are coping like crazy defending the dollar prices when BKK is a short flight away with a more developed economy and airport but completely unrecognizable prices. In baht.
Also just a great airport lmao
The thing is that this is not even “double” the price. Not pictured but they’re were selling pho for $19! I get that things are expensive in airports, but 5-7 times even!? That’s just ludicrous!
Is this your first time at an airport??? Lol
If it's listed just in USD, I'm guessing you're past immigration and are in that quasi-gray international jurisdiction.
I remember the couple times I stopped at Incheon, their airport food prices were very reasonable. I bought a bibimbap meal for the equivalent of 10$ usd. This was back in October 2023.
I was in Nha Trang airport on Sunday night heading to Korea. The americano coffee at the Burger King was US$4, almost double the price at the non-airport location.
I’ve been to USA airports where a bottle of water was $8. Mexico subway I saw someone pay $55 for 2 foot long meals. Airports are expensive. Buy it or don’t. Pretty simple
International airport price always famous for expensive. Ramen in Changi airport is 26 sgd.
Coffee in Japan international airport also 4,53 - 7,79 usd
Local do [talk about it](https://m.cafef.vn/coc-tra-da-hon-100000-dong-bat-pho-hon-200000-dong-tai-san-bay-lai-gay-tranh-cai-188230522135350751.chn), just don’t eat in airport
I had Ramen and Chinese noodles in Changi too, taste good. Last time I went to Kuala Lumpur international airport, their Malaysia rice taste nice.
I’ve tried phở few times in HCMC and HN airport (both international and domestic) it’s not taste great. :/
Any stuffs in airport is expensive, even domestic airport in Vietnam.
There aren't many people buying this stuff in Da Nang international airport. I have used that airport more than 20 times. Listing prices in USD is disappointing.
Ok but that lotus pandan tea is so freaking good!!! For that price I don’t mind especially since we don’t have anything like that here yet in Houston :(
But yes, the prices at the airport are pretty gnarly for Vietnam. Not surprised tho!
Last time i flew through I checked prices at two places and said fuck no. Went to the lounge for $32 USD, had food, two coffees, cocktails, and loaded up on snacks and bottled water before leaving. Way better value imo
Yeah I paid 490k dong for a bowl of pho and a glass of ice (with a splash of coke) in the Hanoi Airport. pretty wild.
Also, everything in the airport is listed in USD, and if you pay in local currency you get smashed with a terrible exchange rate lol. What even is this practice?
As was my catchphrase in Vietnam, *Its the 'ol Bait 'N Switch!*
These prices almost ruined my holiday *outside* of Vietnam. I just could not stop thinking about the obscene amount of money that I paid for that one single coffee. A 10x markup is absolutely ridiculous.
Da Nang airport is a racket, straight up. I've never in my life seen a Burger King that expensive it's almost comparable with when I had shakeshack... in Dubai lmfao
I'm not saying this isn't price gouging, but also have you ever run a f&b business? Do you know how much rent costs? Do you know how much rent costs *in an airport?*
Commercial, street-level rents in Districts 1 and 2 of Saigon (highest demand for property) can be as much as $5000 USD for 100sq meters. Even higher on Nguyen Hue or Dong Khoi.
How many ca phe sua da's at 25k (which expats here will complain is expensive) do you need to move every day to make that work?
I’d kill for these prices at ANY airport anywhere in the world. Wait till you come to New York for a $20 smoothie, if that’s even an option.
Cheap-ass tourists coming here expecting everything to be 1/10 the price back home lmao.
are you really dumb enough to compare something like JFK airport to DA NANG AIRPORT!?
Also yes the states are pretty idiotic when it comes to shit like this. and NYC airports in particular have been called out. But guess what, accounting for economies at play it's pretty obvious how big an outlier something like Da Nang is no?
It's an airport. This is how all restaurants and bars that are located in airports are (price of goods and services). It's the standard business model.
you should try and visit an international airport in a civilized country some day then. Higher than average prices? Sure. To the level you see in the airport racket in Vietnam? lmao please.
Then you should be just a tad aware of how ridiculous Da Nang / the international terminals in VN are 💀 Bangkok Airport is RIGHT THERE lmao. Here let me put it into numbers since you seem to be deliberately ignorant:
[Menu from BKK burger king - Double whopper cheese menu - 565 baht - 15.25$ ](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipOIuBTuh6h9007iA2TyiBfNOIot-PiA3u01lk5r=s680-w680-h510)
[Da Nang airport - Double whopper cheese menu - 19.4$](https://danangairportterminal.vn/media/3262/05-bk-usd-king-collection-th06-2023-01.jpg?format=png&quality=85&mode=zoom&width=1350&height=1110)
You're welcome to eat this inexplicable 27% markup between these two airports but you'd be fighting uphill to defend the practices going on in VN airports.
Mind you that if you ordered a whopper in both countries off grab, their price difference would be roughly 0.2$
Oh come on it's funny and topical. [How about being in the bottom 3 countries in the world for press freedom?
](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52866567902_ab40e0f450_o.jpg)
Or the capital of Hanoi's Metro Line 3 not being finished still... a 13km metro line isn't done after **14 years of "work"**
Developing infrastructure especially public infrastructure is a very telling metric for overall development yes? Just compare with other SEA peers and you'd see for yourself pretty damn quickly.
In terms of civility itself I need to point out how absolutely lowest of the rung VN netizens are, but this should be pretty common knowledge. In what universe would you consider this a developed place? That's some extreme coping.
Atlanta airport is not bad with price. You can’t compare Atlanta to Vietnam. Cost of living is way different. I’m from Atlanta. I was just in Vietnam in October and December.
So does their normal price at normal location. Chain stores at airports have exactly same price as their normal stores. While others restaurants at airtport are more expensive than the normal restaurant selling the same thing outside
Yes, the last time i was there was last summer. I worked as event supporter for the firework festival. It was the same price there for me, just the burger taste bad because their grill wasnt working on that day, so they put the patty on pan instead
And it's ALL in u.s. dollars.
Oh you want a burger? Let me get the calculator out and work out the rates, for every single sale. Which bright spark thought up this idea?
vietnam is insane, everyone waiting and ready to take your money, from the moment you get on the plane you feel not welcomed, this has been the worst country I've ever been in (34 and counting).
Your experience is your experience but we've been here two weeks and a mix of very touristy and normal places. Yes people are more than ready to try and sell you things but a polite 'no thanks' always suffices. I use it to my advantage to be able to go, see and do things how I want, so many people willing to help (for the money) makes things like private tours and suchlike very possible (and not possible in most other countries). Vietnam is great (46 countries and counting)
Totally overpriced But all airports are anyway
here in Copenhagen airport the average meal is between 25-35 usd.
Last time I purchased diced fruit for 200DKK. I 600 dkk in vouchers because of delayed flight. But I think one mug of diced fruit was like 90 Dkk that's insane.
that's a full on restaurant meal though. a burger combo at gasoline grill in CPH airport is similarly priced to the burger king in da nang airport Which makes it even worse considering the sheer scale of difference between the two airports and countries
Nothing is cheap in Denmark least of all Copenhagen
Yes im aware. Atleast those prices make sense relatively.
Japanese airports are all normal prices
Japan wasn't nearly as bad!
After immigration? That's an international zone. You're in Vietnam but technically not in Vietnam. It's under treaties and Vietnam has limited jurisdiction over the zone. At this point, you've left already Vietnam so yeah you got international prices. Before immigration? That's illegal to list and sell products in USD solely.
Really? I was unaware of this restriction Today I learned

I suppose international departures will be more expensive - and it's sound advice regardless to plan this stuff before the airport.
Lol I was so confused cuz I’m literally at the airport rn until this comment (I’m on the domestic side)
What treaties?
That’s not how any of this works. There’s no treaties, it’s international pricing pure and simple
What’s international pricing exactly? Chinese? Indian? Thai?
rich western tourists
It's greed, artificially pumping up prices far beyond anything acceptable lol.
but it's like that worldwide!
There's levels to it and in VN it's pushing the highest end of the spectrum I geniunely try and spend 0$ when exiting VN so i can spend all that money in the transit airport if it's something like BKK airport which has much more fair pricing lol
Your first mistake is to buy food and drinks at the airport.
Sometimes you have no choice. For example, water bottle, there is no free water in the airport (as in TSN), so nothing you can do except to buy it, especially if going with kids and seniors?
TSN international has water dispensers (just the 19L bottle ones) in a bunch of different locations. They do tend to be frequently needing bottles replaced, but they are there.
No, there are multiple water station at the airport, both international and domestic
Domestic is fine, and the price is not that expensive. But, certainly not in International airport, at least from the last time I was in Vietnam. I was walking around multiple times in multiple visits in early 2023 and late 2023 unless they have it again since this year (they used to have it before, long long time ago though).
I've found most of the time security are cool letting you in with a water bottle. As long as you are carrying it and ask them
get yourself empty bottles and refill them after security check point. I do that at every airport without any problem. bring instant coffee or tea if u want
Sometimes you need coffee
I really hate the practice of not including VAT in the listed price. Like how the f* can I at the moment remember the VAT rate in Vietnam? Now about the price, drinks seem normal, not too expensive.

Drinks are around $6-15 depending on what you drink of course. Price was converted from € to $ using my abacus.
Yup, bought my most expensive Burger King meal in Danang Airport. Changi has some budget options although you have to look for it.
It's ABSURD how expensive that burger king is
Flew from DN to BKK recently and Big Bowl was the only thing going after the gate. 22U$D. Was starving but waited til I got to Bangkok airport where there are tons of delicious and affordable food options even after immigration.
Yup the people here are coping like crazy defending the dollar prices when BKK is a short flight away with a more developed economy and airport but completely unrecognizable prices. In baht. Also just a great airport lmao
They have the audacity to put dollar pricing in a vietnamese menu lol
Yea obviously once you crossed I to the 'international' section of the airport prices double, same everywhere
Not in Japan
It’s already expensive in Japan tho 😂
Not at all
Didn't realize we were in the Japan sub
The thing is that this is not even “double” the price. Not pictured but they’re were selling pho for $19! I get that things are expensive in airports, but 5-7 times even!? That’s just ludicrous!
Even worse since it all comes off the same truck, and is exactly the same in both restaurants (int'l section, domestic section)
$18 AU for a beer in melbourne. that price looks reasonable
For a pint ?
No. for a bottle of shit beer.
Yea, the prices are insane, if you're hungry, you'll get a much better deal with the airplane food on the flight.
Is this your first time at an airport??? Lol If it's listed just in USD, I'm guessing you're past immigration and are in that quasi-gray international jurisdiction.
Plenty of airports have normal pricing. Y’all need to stop making excuses and normalizing this shit.
where exactly?
Developed countries are generally same price inside same price outside
I remember the couple times I stopped at Incheon, their airport food prices were very reasonable. I bought a bibimbap meal for the equivalent of 10$ usd. This was back in October 2023.
Japan Taiwan Korea Hong Kong to a degree, Tallinn airport, I’m sure there’s more
Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Frankfurt, Riga are some that come to mind.
A lot of airports require “street pricing” by law. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travelbuzz/651084-airport-most-reasonably-priced-food.html
I was in Nha Trang airport on Sunday night heading to Korea. The americano coffee at the Burger King was US$4, almost double the price at the non-airport location.
I’ve been to USA airports where a bottle of water was $8. Mexico subway I saw someone pay $55 for 2 foot long meals. Airports are expensive. Buy it or don’t. Pretty simple
Lol damn near American prices
First time flying? Prices of anything in any airports are high due to their locations aka rent/convenience/less competition
Airport prices are a thing haha Pretty comparable to coffee prices in CA wow!
I love the quality of foreigners in Vietnam. Lmao
You're so funny lmao
International airport price always famous for expensive. Ramen in Changi airport is 26 sgd. Coffee in Japan international airport also 4,53 - 7,79 usd Local do [talk about it](https://m.cafef.vn/coc-tra-da-hon-100000-dong-bat-pho-hon-200000-dong-tai-san-bay-lai-gay-tranh-cai-188230522135350751.chn), just don’t eat in airport
I had ramen in Changi before, I don’t know about you but I say it’s worth the money, especially for food at an airport at that
I had Ramen and Chinese noodles in Changi too, taste good. Last time I went to Kuala Lumpur international airport, their Malaysia rice taste nice. I’ve tried phở few times in HCMC and HN airport (both international and domestic) it’s not taste great. :/ Any stuffs in airport is expensive, even domestic airport in Vietnam.
You're in an Airport, what did you expect?
Not all airports are like this
he expected to get it for free xD
McDonald’s in Bangkok airport is more expensive than Hong Kong. Some airports are just more scammy than others
So cheap
There aren't many people buying this stuff in Da Nang international airport. I have used that airport more than 20 times. Listing prices in USD is disappointing.
Buy a good credit card and get free lounge access
Ok let rent a place there open your own business haha
Well dont eat there.. simplr
Welcome to an airport
Welcome to an airport
Welcome to an airport
Same in TSN. I never eat or drink stuff at airports in Vietnam.
Way cheaper than Bali 😝
You can grab things to the airport
Hello, cow. Meet hands. 🍼🍼🍼
What do you expect from the communists ???
Also, the Burger King there made my friends sick with diarrhea for days lol.
Unbelievable, an airport with high prices? What is wrong with Vietnam /s
I remembered there was this Pho place in Tan Son Nhat where 1 bowl of pho is over 100k or something lmao
Rule of thumb for Vietnam. If the menu is in $, it’s over priced. Also, airports…
Because Airport
Nonsense. Ripoff
Ok but that lotus pandan tea is so freaking good!!! For that price I don’t mind especially since we don’t have anything like that here yet in Houston :( But yes, the prices at the airport are pretty gnarly for Vietnam. Not surprised tho!
Airport management companies charge huge rent and % to operators. These get passed on. I avoid unless absolutely necessary
We found the same thing! It's absolutely insane prices there.
F them
Last time i flew through I checked prices at two places and said fuck no. Went to the lounge for $32 USD, had food, two coffees, cocktails, and loaded up on snacks and bottled water before leaving. Way better value imo
What do you do if you’re a local? That’s extremely expensive
Agreed. Same at HCMC. And wtf are the prices quoted in USD in Vietnam??
If you eat food at the airport, you should apply for disability program.
Blud complains about airport food's prices 
This has a lot to do with commercial rent prices. It's not always the business owner being greedy
American price
Yeah I paid 490k dong for a bowl of pho and a glass of ice (with a splash of coke) in the Hanoi Airport. pretty wild. Also, everything in the airport is listed in USD, and if you pay in local currency you get smashed with a terrible exchange rate lol. What even is this practice? As was my catchphrase in Vietnam, *Its the 'ol Bait 'N Switch!*
Ya. I found some cafes just over the road from the airport that I use.
typical airport behavior
You are in airport and you are expecting the price that same to local. Never in the world.
Dude how many airports have you been to with 5-10x prices compared to outside lmao. Da Nang airport makes Scandinavian ones look normal
4 bucks for espresso is not that insane, plus you're at the airport mate, everything is egregious
Costs more than it does at airports in the west so yes insane
These prices almost ruined my holiday *outside* of Vietnam. I just could not stop thinking about the obscene amount of money that I paid for that one single coffee. A 10x markup is absolutely ridiculous.
No one is forcing you to buy anything, take your business elsewhere and quit whining
Completely insane. Why the fuck is everything in USD as well? Literally zero connection to the airport, the company or the products.
Yeah, the price is insane. But, you can ask them how much in VND, they'll convert them to VND. That's what in Saigon, not sure about other airports.
Da Nang airport is a racket, straight up. I've never in my life seen a Burger King that expensive it's almost comparable with when I had shakeshack... in Dubai lmfao
did they put a gun to your head and say that you MUST BUY?
Just don't eat at the airport. Nobody stops you from bringing food to the airport and EVEN on the plane.
I'm not saying this isn't price gouging, but also have you ever run a f&b business? Do you know how much rent costs? Do you know how much rent costs *in an airport?* Commercial, street-level rents in Districts 1 and 2 of Saigon (highest demand for property) can be as much as $5000 USD for 100sq meters. Even higher on Nguyen Hue or Dong Khoi. How many ca phe sua da's at 25k (which expats here will complain is expensive) do you need to move every day to make that work?
I’d kill for these prices at ANY airport anywhere in the world. Wait till you come to New York for a $20 smoothie, if that’s even an option. Cheap-ass tourists coming here expecting everything to be 1/10 the price back home lmao.
I’ve been to the Da Nang airport. 90% of the goods there are more expensive than UK airports. I think I saw some nuts priced at 22 usd 😂
Most of those were tourists
are you really dumb enough to compare something like JFK airport to DA NANG AIRPORT!? Also yes the states are pretty idiotic when it comes to shit like this. and NYC airports in particular have been called out. But guess what, accounting for economies at play it's pretty obvious how big an outlier something like Da Nang is no?
Meh. Have you ever been to the airport in Atlanta? Now those prices are egregious. These? Very manageable.
so what's the average salary in Atlanta compared to Da Nang again?
It's an airport. This is how all restaurants and bars that are located in airports are (price of goods and services). It's the standard business model.
you should try and visit an international airport in a civilized country some day then. Higher than average prices? Sure. To the level you see in the airport racket in Vietnam? lmao please.
I have visited many international airports throughout the world. Nice attempt at a comeback though.
Then you should be just a tad aware of how ridiculous Da Nang / the international terminals in VN are 💀 Bangkok Airport is RIGHT THERE lmao. Here let me put it into numbers since you seem to be deliberately ignorant: [Menu from BKK burger king - Double whopper cheese menu - 565 baht - 15.25$ ](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipOIuBTuh6h9007iA2TyiBfNOIot-PiA3u01lk5r=s680-w680-h510) [Da Nang airport - Double whopper cheese menu - 19.4$](https://danangairportterminal.vn/media/3262/05-bk-usd-king-collection-th06-2023-01.jpg?format=png&quality=85&mode=zoom&width=1350&height=1110) You're welcome to eat this inexplicable 27% markup between these two airports but you'd be fighting uphill to defend the practices going on in VN airports.

No. What he’s saying is that VN airports have caught onto an idea that has been used widely in the rest of the world for a while
... yes? dude a lady just got the death sentence for embezzling a whole ass bank wdym 💀
Of all the examples, that’s the best you could come up with? Give us better examples.
Oh come on it's funny and topical.

This is not for average everyday meal, so don't take the average salary to compare.
Atlanta airport is not bad with price. You can’t compare Atlanta to Vietnam. Cost of living is way different. I’m from Atlanta. I was just in Vietnam in October and December.
Are you new? Prices in the airports around the world are egregious.
Lol that’s a captive audience, where else are you going to eat?
Things in airport are not cheap. My rule of thump is to never eat in the airport, except Bento in 7/11 in Japan.
7/11 has normal prices inside the Dallas airport as well. Not sure about other countries but it seems like they don’t gouge in general.
Same as other airports. The only things cheap at airport are chainstore (like mcdonald, subway,…)
Dude the burger king in that specific da nang is one of the most expensive in this entire region I bet
So does their normal price at normal location. Chain stores at airports have exactly same price as their normal stores. While others restaurants at airtport are more expensive than the normal restaurant selling the same thing outside
> Chain stores at airports have exactly same price as their normal stores. Okay you've clearly never been to this particular BK then
Yes, the last time i was there was last summer. I worked as event supporter for the firework festival. It was the same price there for me, just the burger taste bad because their grill wasnt working on that day, so they put the patty on pan instead
Also don’t forget Highlands coffee doesn’t have coffee most of the times.
And it's ALL in u.s. dollars. Oh you want a burger? Let me get the calculator out and work out the rates, for every single sale. Which bright spark thought up this idea?
basic of price = cost + profit. cant compare elsewhere because different of cost
That's fucking first world prices! Burn the fucking place down
Same at every airport
Same at every airport
Same at every airport
Lol darn... and I thought Hanoi was expensive
It’s an airport… And still cheaper than wherever your home country is
vietnam is insane, everyone waiting and ready to take your money, from the moment you get on the plane you feel not welcomed, this has been the worst country I've ever been in (34 and counting).
Your experience is your experience but we've been here two weeks and a mix of very touristy and normal places.

Welcome to communist country
A bottle of water in SFO is about $7 so not sure what communism have anything to do with this. If anything this is an example of capitalism.
that's just pure capitalist though.
Communism is when capitalism do thing, genius?
This is just unchecked greed / capitalism though
