1 hour transit time on international flights

[joon8887]

Above is my upcoming trip. Has anyone done above route? Is that doable given only 1 hour to find the next flight in HGN ? (Havent been to that airport before)


Above booked as one booking via Singapore air

Cutting it fine - the reason you are asking is because you have doubts. No one here can allay those doubts.
It really depends if SQ178 arrives into SGN ontime

Questions you need to ask yourself is:
1)What is the next Asiana flight if you miss OZ732 - is it the same day or the next day?
2)What are the consequences for you if you miss the connecting flight?

Also check your travel assurance terms and conditions. If they cover you for a missed connection some require a 90 minute connection ( eg Covermore)

I don't know about transiting at SGN and doing so with different airlines. But when I'm considering a tight transit I look at the history on FlightAware - SQ178 has arrived as early as 11:02 and as late as 11:34 recently.

The connection wouldn’t be offered unless it meets the requirements for minimum connecting time. That said, an hour is plenty of time at some airports, like SIN, HKG or in the USA for domestic… but might not be at others!

If you miss the connection the airlines will be responsible for getting you to your destination. Travel insurance will cover delay for hotels and meals if not provided by the airline. Not all policies will provide a replacement flight though (which in any event will be covered by the airlines involved).

I would monitor on the day of departure. If the flight is delayed, ask to be switched to a non-stop SIN-ICN. on the day of travel agents at the airport have a lot of flexibility to get you to where you need to go.
