Thanks for posting. This is really tempting. I've never been to Vietnam and would love to visit someplace new.

A couple quick questions:
1) Can you stay airside without going through customs/immigration in either DAD or SGN?
2) Assuming you will still need a visa to board the flight, regardless of the answer to #1 correct? #1 matters more for timing to make the return flight 90 minutes later.
Thanks!

Note - the fares are also available in October and November if you wish to visit during months that are a bit cooler.
I booked this and I'm looking forward to the trip.
Thanks OP!
And I'm taking largeeyes' advice and heading to Hoi An. Thanks!

HOI-AN is incredible enjoy but skip Da Nang.
Our German Berliner freund/friend Largeeyes is 100 % correct. HOI-AN is incredible enjoy - skip Da Nang.
HOI-AN Decent/Nice Hotels - Great (sea) Food.
RU NUTS ? However, in case you are serious , the Korean Airlines flight you arrive on is the same airplane you depart on 90 minutes later.

I only have 4 nights so I have been looking only at Hoi An. However, while browsing hotels I did see the DAD ICH listed. It caught my eye since I have a free weekend night available to use. It looks like a cool hotel.

Enjoy a "local/fresh beer" for me. And perhaps a bucket.
Ah man, I need to get back there.

You can't board a flight to Vietnam without proving a visa or you have the visa approval letter printed out. You must pay an agency online to get the visa approval letter. In theory you could board the flight to SGN with the visa approval letter, get here and then go through the "transfers" section to get back on the plane to ICN. However, there's likely to be eyes raised at this. I wouldn't recommend it.
I'm flying to DAD today but also decided to stay in Hoi An instead of Da Nang proper. I hear it's beautiful there.

Vietnam is a first for me so I'll be staying and visiting. The airfare is great so any miles are just icing on the cake. The last leg is on KE. I've never flown KE. Do you actually earn miles for those legs?
