On the morning of April 29, there was a significant influx of passengers at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, many of whom were carrying a lot of luggage as they traveled home or for leisure. However, reports indicate that the check-in and security areas were not congested.
At the airport entrance, a slow-moving queue of people extended from Truong Son Street to the check-in area. In lobby A, travel company staff were busy assisting customers with check-in procedures and ticket collection. Meanwhile, groups of people were waiting for their turn to check in at the numbered columns outside the lobby. To avoid being late due to traffic congestion, many people had to arrive several hours before their scheduled flight time.
However, there was no congestion in lobby A, where baggage check-in procedures are carried out for airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Vasco, Bamboo Airways, and Vietravel Airlines. Security personnel have also been reinforced in the screening area. Additionally, the airport has opened up more screening areas. In lobby B, there is only VietJet Airlines, so the staff of this airline has also increased their support for passengers.
