TL;DR
For a small leftover amount, Cam Ranh Airport is convenient, but for a larger sum travelers recommend exchanging in Nha Trang city, especially at jewelry shops. Airport and hotel exchange rates are usually less favorable.
At the airport, exchange about 300,000–350,000 VND for a taxi to Nha Trang, then convert the remaining cash at jewelry shops in town, where rates are usually better.
If you have a substantial amount of dong left, exchange it in Nha Trang rather than at the airport. Jewelry shops in town are commonly recommended for better rates, while Cam Ranh Airport and hotels tend to offer worse ones.
For a small amount needed for final expenses, using the airport exchange is practical. For a larger balance, exchange the dong in Nha Trang city at jewelry shops instead.
You can exchange leftover dong at the airport before departure, but exchange counters in central Nha Trang are generally the alternative to consider for a potentially better rate.
