We flew in from Danang to the Hanoi (Noi Bai) airport and arrived at 10pm. Our flight to Osaka was the next morning at 8am so I didn’t want to mess with getting to a hotel by leaving the airport then having to make our way back over early again. The pod was FANTASTIC!! We landed in terminal 1, the domestic terminal, grabbed our luggage, then got on the free shuttle to terminal 2, the international terminal. Please note this pod is in Terminal 2 before security/passport control so it was great for us because we had to re-check the next morning anyhow for the second leg of our flight. I read alot reviews about people being upset they had to leave the secure area by the gates then go back thru security etc to come back to their gate for the next flight. That was a non-issue for us. The pods are on the second level below the check-in desks so it was literally a two minute trip (if that) to get upstairs & in line to check-in. We didn’t care about the lack of showers and there are restrooms to use around the corner than I don’t think are used except by people staying in the pods.
I booked two double bed units - one for my 12 year old daughter & myself, one for my husband. The pod is small, *read this as teeny tiny*, but perfect for a rest between flights. Lots of outlets, complimentary water & snacks, too. The beds, pillows and blanket were all very clean & the pod smelled clean. (Unlike the VIP sleeper private car on the train in Vietnam - that’s for another review.) 10/10💜
