We were flying business class from Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore with Singapore Airlines, so we had access to Le Saigonnais Lounge. The airport has a both a domestic and an international lounge, so we were able to use the international lounge which is located on level 3 of Terminal 2 between gates 17 and 18.

When checking in with Singapore Airlines, we were given the option to have access to the Saigonnais Lounge or have access to a day spa. We chose the lounge, which ended up being the better choice for us, since it took quite a while to get through Vietnamese exit customs.

Just as we were heading to the customs line-up, they had closed off one section of the customs agents. So, there were long lines for the ones that were still open. We eventually got through customs and security and made our way to the lounge, which involved taking an escalator up to the 3rd floor.

The lounge was nice and airy, and had a view of the gates. It was busy, but didn’t feel crowded.

The lounge provides a selection of warm food, restrooms, shower and wireless internet.

Since we were going to be fed on the plane, we just had a little snack and then headed to our gate. But, it was a nice little lounge and offered quite a bit for its size.
