Air

You can fly to the Duong Dông airport (PQC) from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) on about five daily Vietnam Airlines turboprop flights with ATR-72 (55 minutes). Since 2010 Air Mekong flies with Bombardier CRJ-900 jets from Ho Chi Minh City for about the same prices in 35 minutes. From Rach Gia there are two Vietnam Airlines flights per day.

There is a wide variety of transport options available on arrival. Many of the more expensive hotels have somebody pick you up on arrival. Taxis are of course available. It is only a short walk to the center of Duong Dông, too. If budget travelers arrive late without reservations they stay the first night in inexpensive guest houses opposite the airport entrance.

If air tickets are fully booked you can do the following.

Keep an eye on the website and grab any published flight at the earliest opportunity. They should put on extra flights closer to the time.

Ask any travel agents in Ho Chi Minh or Phú Quôc.

Come to the airport on stand by.
