Day 1 - Take off from LCCT to Noi Bai

Wave Goodbye

It’s about 1:45am, after we had a couple bottles of beer, Jason Gerald start his car engine and ready to sent both of us to LCCT. Our flight to Hanoi, Vietnam will be taking off at 6:30am, and we have to check-in 2 hours before the departure, and the distance between Malacca and LCCT is about 1hr30min drive.While we arrived at LCCT, it’s about 3:30am, three of us decided to take early breakfast in McDonald’s, before we can actually do anything.

Arrival at Noi Bai Airport

Wave goodbye to Jason, check in all the luggage, get pass the immigration check, and finally we are sitting inside Airasia cabin, expecting 3 hours flight north-east. There is nothing much to see in the plane, even the pilot announce that we are flying above Bangkok, Thailand, as it’s flying above the clouds.

Arrival at Noi Bai International Airport

As most of the traveller know, the time zone of Vietnam is GMT+7, where as Malaysia is GMT+8. Even my watch shows 9:30am at arrival, but local time is actually 8:30am. Thereby, our real journey was started. We look for the money changer in Noi Bai Airport, Hanoi, for some Vietnam Dong, and find the cheapest way to get into the heart of the Hanoi City.
