TL;DR
Flying from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Cam Ranh Airport (CXR) takes about 1 hour 10 minutes, but allow 3–4 hours door to door. An overnight sleeper bus is usually cheaper at around 250,000–450,000 VND, but takes 8–10 hours.
What the community said
For the fastest option, take a VietJet Air or Vietnam Airlines flight from SGN to CXR: flight time is about 70 minutes. Cam Ranh Airport is another 35–50 minutes from central Nha Trang by taxi or shuttle, so flying is best for a short stay.

Vietnam Airlines is generally the more comfortable choice for travellers who value a full-service experience and checked baggage included on many fares. Still check the exact fare rules, as cabin baggage, checked bags and catering can vary.

VietJet Air often has the lowest Ho Chi Minh City–Cam Ranh fares, but it is a low-cost carrier: meals are usually extra and the cheapest ticket may not include checked baggage. A sleeper bus takes around 8–10 hours and costs roughly 250,000–450,000 VND, making it a budget overnight option.
