    Kyle

    Asked on February 17th, 2026

    Was a little confused to whats included and not in terms of transportation/flights. So we will buy our own flight tickets from HCMC to Ha Noi and land there 15th july. Is every transportation from there on covered until the last day(day 8)? Day 8 we will buy our own flight tickets again to get from Da Nang to HCMC.
