TL;DR
While Da Lat's airport is closed, the most practical overland connections are via Nha Trang or Ho Chi Minh City. From Da Nang, fly domestically to Nha Trang, then take a minivan to Da Lat in around 3 hours.
If you are flying to Da Nang, a practical workaround is a domestic Da Nang–Nha Trang flight followed by a minivan to Da Lat. The Nha Trang–Da Lat road transfer takes about 3 hours.
During the temporary closure of Lien Khuong Airport, reach Da Lat by bus via either Nha Trang or Ho Chi Minh City. Check the reopening date before booking, as travelers mentioned dates after 19 August or in September.
For travel with children, consider a VIP sleeper bus with wide berths designed for two passengers. Keep in mind that stops may be limited, and sleeping can be difficult because of road noise and frequent horn use.
