Driver Alert: Airport Terminal 3 Drop-Offs Must Use Upper Level (Departures)
```html
Important Tip for Drivers at Tan Son Nhat Airport's Terminal 3!
Attention all drivers dropping off passengers at Terminal 3 for departures! Remember this key detail: You need to drive up the ramp to LEVEL 3 to access the departure area.
With Vietnam Airlines now operating all flights from Terminal 3, many drivers have mistakenly gone to Level 2 (the 1st floor), resulting in a time-consuming exit, U-turn, and another toll fee just to get back on track.
Terminal 3 Structure – A Quick Guide for Drivers
Terminal 3 consists of a basement level and four above-ground levels. Here's a breakdown of the key levels for passenger pick-up and drop-off:
- Level 3 (2nd Floor): For passenger DROP-OFF. This is where all vehicles (private cars, rental cars, taxis, buses, tour vehicles) need to go when dropping off passengers for flight check-in.
- Level 2 (1st Floor): For passenger PICK-UP by private vehicles.
- Level 1 (Ground Floor): For passenger PICK-UP by buses, coaches, tour vehicles, taxis, and ride-hailing services.
Visual Aid:
Think of it this way:
- The ramp leading to Level 2 (1st floor) is for ARRIVALS being picked up by private cars.
- The ramp leading to Level 3 (2nd floor) is for DEPARTURES being dropped off for check-in.
What if you accidentally end up on Level 2? Unload your luggage quickly and head up to Level 3 via the elevators. It's the fastest way to correct your mistake!
