Raiding" Da Nang Airport Duty Free: 5 Things Worth Buying at the Last Minute Before Boarding the Plane

Your flight is about to take off, but you suddenly remember you still need a gift for someone important, or you still have leftover Vietnamese dong in your pocket that you haven't exchanged? The departure area and waiting lounges of the international/domestic terminals at Da Nang Airport are the perfect lifesaver for you!

1. Premium handmade chocolates in a gift box

The souvenir stalls at Da Nang Airport display Vietnamese-branded handcrafted chocolates (Marou, Alluvia) in a very eye-catching way. The gift boxes feature elegant foil stamping and are kept at a proper air-conditioned temperature so the chocolate doesn't melt, making them extremely suitable as diplomatic gifts or presents for business partners.

2. Lotus Tea & Royal Tribute Oolong Tea in a Tin Box

Premium lotus tea is packed in elegant tin boxes printed with lotus flowers or the luxurious gold-plated Dragon Bridge. It is a compact, refined gift that is easy to carry onto the plane without worrying about bulkiness or breakage.

3. Premium Da Lat Wine & Craft Liquor

At the duty-free area of the international terminal, you can easily buy fine bottles of Vietnamese wine without worrying about the carry-on liquid limits when going through security.

4. Exquisite handicrafts (Silk, lacquerware)

Although prices at the airport are about 15% – 30% higher than at the central market, in return every silk scarf, lacquer painting, and jewelry box is carefully selected, exquisitely finished, and neatly packed in a gift box tied with a ribbon.

Notes when shopping at the airport:

Always keep your payment receipt so that staff can pack liquid/cosmetic items in a sealed security bag (STEB bag) if you have a connecting flight.
