Surat (STV) has limited international reach, so almost every itinerary starts with a domestic leg to a metro hub. IndiGo and Air India feed Surat into Mumbai and Delhi, where you connect to carriers serving SGN: Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, IndiGo (direct BOM/DEL–SGN), Thai Airways and Thai AirAsia via Bangkok, or Malaysia Airlines/AirAsia via Kuala Lumpur. Full-service options keep a single PNR and through-checked baggage; low-cost combinations are cheaper but you may self-transfer. Compare both before booking.
The shortest realistic routing is Surat–Mumbai–Ho Chi Minh City, around 8–9 hours including a 2–3 hour Mumbai layover. Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur routings run 10–13 hours but often cost less and let you tag on a stopover.

Tan Son Nhat (SGN) sits just 7 km from District 1, so the taxi ride into central Saigon is typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Use the metered Vinasun or Mai Linh taxis, or book Grab from the international arrivals app pickup point. A standard fare to District 1 is roughly 170,000–220,000 VND. Bus 109 runs to the city centre for under 20,000 VND. Pick up a local SIM and withdraw VND at the arrivals hall before leaving.
On full-service Vietnam Airlines and Air India connections, economy usually includes 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. Low-cost carriers (Vietjet, AirAsia, IndiGo international) sell the seat bare — budget 20–30 kg of add-on baggage, especially if Surat shoppers plan to bring back goods. When you mix a domestic Surat leg with a separate international ticket, baggage does not auto-transfer; re-check at the hub and keep 3–4 hours buffer.
Round-trip economy from Surat (via Mumbai) to Ho Chi Minh City typically ranges ₹28,000–₹48,000 depending on season, airline and how early you book.

Booking 6–10 weeks ahead and flying mid-week generally saves the most.
Saigon blends French-colonial avenues, the War Remnants Museum, Ben Thanh Market and rooftop bars with day trips to the Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta.

For Surat's trade community, the city is also a sourcing and textile hub.
