Half million air tickets made available for upcoming National Day holiday

HCMC – Vietnamese airlines have made available nearly half a million air tickets for the National Day holiday which lasts from September 1 to 4.

Over 400,000 air tickets for domestic flights from the major cities of Hanoi and HCMC to popular tourist destinations like Danang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc will be released by carriers such as Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines and Vasco.

However, airfares are still high, with no tickets available for under VND1 million.

Specifically, on the HCMC to Danang City route, a Vietnam Airlines air ticket is priced at VND2.3 million. The same route is offered by Vietjet and Vietravel Airlines at a range from VND1.5 million to VND1.9 million and VND1.7 million to VND1.9 million, respectively.

For flights departing from Hanoi to Phu Quoc, ticket prices vary from VND2.5 million to VND4 million per ticket. On the HCMC to Phu Quoc route, one ticket falls within a range of VND1.5 million and VND1.7 million. However, local carriers present airfare prices at half the rates for these same routes before or after the holiday period.

Both Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet are offering reduced prices starting from VND1.5 million for one-way tickets on routes from Hanoi City or HCMC to destinations like Danang, Dalat, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Vinh, Thanh Hoa, and Haiphong.

Noi Bai International Airport said that the peak summer holiday was predicted to last until mid-August. However, the holiday ended sooner than usual as guest numbers returned to normal levels since the beginning of this month.

Meanwhile, at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, it is projected that during the upcoming holiday, the number of travelers passing through the airport will range between 95,000 and 110,000 passengers per day.
