They are right next to each other and I've noticed very clear signs for transfers domestic->international and vice versa. That said, I haven't done it, but I can't imagine it taking very long.
Thanks! I totally agree, I'm just more concerned about the domestic VN flight being delayed, which I hear is relatively typical. That said, looking back historically, it looks like generally delays are about an hour or so...which would still leave me with enough time (10:30 arrival for 12:05 departure - I'd take my chances)!

Probably worth springing for J for that CXR-HAN flight though, just to be the first ones off just in case.

Thanks! Any other comments welcome, especially about VN intra-Vietnam reliability.
