🚀 How to Get Tickets: Step-by-Step for Indians

Buying tickets for Tomorrowland is a competitive sport! Follow these exact steps to maximize your chances:

Step 1: Pre-Register Immediately

You cannot buy a ticket unless you pre-register. Go to the official Tomorrowland Account page and create an account. If you already have one, log in and click “Register for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026.”

Step 2: Choose Your Sale Type

Hotel Packages (Recommended): Sale starts Feb 28, 2026. These include your festival ticket, hotel stay in Pattaya/Chon Buri, and daily shuttles. This is the easiest way to secure a ticket because they sell out slower than “ticket-only” options.
Worldwide Ticket Sale: Sale starts March 7, 2026. These are just the festival passes. They will likely sell out in minutes.

Step 3: The “Queue”

On the sale day, log in 15 minutes early. When the sale starts, do not refresh your page. You will be placed in a virtual queue. Once you get in, you have limited time to pay.

💡 Pro Tip for Indians: Ensure your Credit/Debit card has International Transactions enabled and a high enough limit for the purchase!

🇹🇭 Why Thailand is Perfect for Indian Fans

1. Visa Ease:
Thailand has extended its Visa-Free entry for Indians through 2026 (subject to final government confirmation closer to dates). Even if that changes, Visa-on-Arrival is always an easy option.

2. Flight Connectivity:
Direct flights run daily from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Hyderabad to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi). From Bangkok, the venue (Wisdom Valley) is just a 1.5 to 2-hour drive.

3. Food & Comfort:
Unlike camping in Belgium which can be cold and rainy, you will be staying in hotels in Pattaya or Chon Buri. Plus, Thai food (and plenty of Indian food options in Pattaya) makes dietary comfort easy.

Trending Thailand Packages from Crafted Vacays

The future of travel in Southeast Asia just got a lot closer. On the afternoon of December 15, 2025, aviation history was written in the skies of Dong Nai Province. A Boeing 787 Dreamliner—the largest wide-body aircraft in Vietnam’s fleet—gracefully touched down on the runway of the highly anticipated Long Thanh International Airport.

For travel enthusiasts and industry watchers, this wasn’t just a test flight; it was the unveiling of a new era. At [Your Travel Agency Name], we are closely monitoring these developments to bring you the best future travel experiences. Here is a deep dive into what happened and why this new airport is set to change the game for tourism in Vietnam.

The Historic Touchdown: Flight VN5001

The atmosphere was electric as Flight VN5001 departed from Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City and made its way to Long Thanh. This was a “technical test flight,” a critical exam for any new airport.

Touching down at exactly 4:00 PM, the aircraft carried flight crew and technical experts rather than tourists. Their mission? To rigorously validate the airport’s core infrastructure under real-world conditions. The test successfully evaluated:

Runway & Taxiway Systems: Ensuring the tarmac can handle the weight and span of modern wide-body jets.
Navigation & Communication: Testing the ILS/DME (Instrument Landing Systems) to guarantee safety even in bad weather.
Ground Operations: From lighting systems to aircraft handling procedures.

Upon landing, the aircraft was greeted with a ceremonial water salute—a traditional aviation honor—before taxiing to the terminal. Following this success, three more official flights from Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, and Bamboo Airways are scheduled to land on December 19, marking the simultaneous inauguration of key national projects.

Why Long Thanh is Vietnam’s “Super Airport”

Long Thanh isn’t being built just to replace capacity; it’s being built to compete with global heavyweights like Changi (Singapore) and Suvarnabhumi (Thailand). The Vietnamese government has explicitly directed that Long Thanh be developed into Southeast Asia’s leading aviation hub.

TheDesignAir –Ho Chi Minh's newest super-hub airport Long Thanh, in Vietnam starts construction — *The lotus-inspired terminal design represents Vietnamese culture on a grand scale.*

The Lotus Design

The passenger terminal is an architectural marvel. Inspired by the lotus flower, Vietnam’s national flower, the design blends cultural heritage with futuristic functionality. It promises to offer a passenger experience that is airy, modern, and efficient—a stark contrast to the often crowded terminals travelers might be used to.

Massive Scale & Capacity

The numbers behind this project are staggering. The project is split into phases to ensure sustainable growth:

Feature	Phase 1 (Opening 2026)	Future Vision (Post-2035)
Passenger Capacity	25 Million / Year	100 Million / Year
Cargo Capacity	1.2 Million Tons	5 Million Tons
Key Infrastructure	1 Runway, 1 Terminal	Multiple Runways & Terminals

Beyond the Airport: An “Airport City” in the Making

One of the most exciting aspects of Long Thanh is the development of the surrounding area. The province is planning an “Airport City” that will include logistics hubs, industrial parks, and potentially a free trade zone.

“It is not merely a modern airport, but also a strategic lever, a breakthrough source of momentum, and a symbol of Dong Nai Province’s international integration.”
— Nguyen Kim Long, Vice-Chairman of Dong Nai People’s Committee

Better Connectivity for Travelers

For our clients, the most important question is: “How do I get there?” The government is fast-tracking several major transport projects to ensure the airport is accessible:

Expressways: The Bien Hoa–Vung Tau and Ben Luc–Long Thanh expressways are being accelerated. This means faster transfers to popular beach destinations like Vung Tau without passing through Ho Chi Minh City traffic.
Metro Lines: Plans are underway for a light rail line connecting Thu Thiem directly to Long Thanh, ensuring a smooth link to the city center.

What’s Next? The Road to 2026

While the successful test flight is a cause for celebration, we still have a little time before we can book your tickets through Long Thanh.

December 19, 2025: Official Inauguration Ceremony with three commercial aircraft.
Q1 2026: Continued system calibration and expansion tasks (including planning for a second runway).
Mid-2026: Official Commercial Operations begin!

At Crafted Vacays, we are already preparing for this shift. Long Thanh International Airport will open up new routes, reduce congestion, and provide a world-class welcome to this beautiful country. Whether you are planning a family vacation or a corporate retreat, the future of travel to Vietnam is looking brighter than ever.
