Cam Ranh International Airport shocked Dave and Kim with how empty and new it felt on their travel day from Nha Trang, Vietnam back to Bangkok. This vlog covers the ghost town airport, a free visit to the SunCoast Airport Lounge thanks to credit card perks, and the flight home to Thailand.
A Ghost Town Airport
Cam Ranh International Airport, the gateway for Nha Trang, was so empty and so new that Dave and Kim thought they were in the wrong place at first. The video captures the surreal quiet of a modern international terminal with barely any passengers, a striking contrast to the bustle of Bangkok's airports.
SunCoast Airport Lounge
While waiting for the flight, the couple visits the SunCoast Airport Lounge, which they can do for free because of the credit cards they use. Dave explains that cards with Priority Pass style lounge access, including the Chase Sapphire cards he recommends, make airport time far more comfortable for frequent travelers. Arriving early enough to enjoy the lounge, rather than rushing to the gate, turns a travel day into part of the holiday.
Wrapping Up the Vietnam Trip
The flight back to Bangkok closes out the family's Nha Trang adventure. For viewers following the series, this travel day ties the Vietnam chapters together, and for anyone flying out of Cam Ranh, it sets expectations for a calm, easy departure compared with most Southeast Asian hubs.
