This flight boasts the shortest layover in Guangzhou for travelers heading from Changsha to Ho Chi Minh City. The alternative routes typically involve longer stops in Beijing or Shanghai. The weather is beautifully sunny ☀️, and we touched down safely. Upon arrival, a sea of people greets you, making the entry process a lengthy one—expect at least 40 minutes.
If you opt for a landing visa, add another hour to your wait, unless you’ve already secured a visa domestically. Fortunately, there were no instances of soliciting tips, which was a relief. It would be wonderful if our fellow travelers could adopt a quieter phone etiquette; the loud conversations certainly draw quite a few glances.
Lastly, it’s still advisable to wear a mask when venturing out. Not only does it offer protection against viruses 🦠, but it also helps hide any awkward moments… [Disappointed R]
I had no idea about the shorter layover in Guangzhou! That sounds like a game-changer for anyone flying from Changsha. Just imagining the crowd upon arrival gives me anxiety, though—hopefully, they’ve improved the efficiency since my last visit. A landing visa really does add up time; glad I planned ahead last time!
