On the occasion of launching its 22th air route linking HCM City and Dalat, VietjetAir has provided up to 30,000 tickets, some for as little as VND22,000 each.
Before Tet, the airline had another campaign of offering discount tickets for just VND9,000 VND for some domestic routes.
National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines announced that from March 15, it will not apply the surcharge of VND50,000 for economy class and VND90,000 for business class. They opted to allow their agents decide if they want to lower the price to better compete.
International airlines have not missed out on the trend. From March 30, All Nippon Airways will start a promotional programme offering a return ticket of just USD650 from Hanoi to Tokyo, Osak and Fukuoka, excluding taxes and surcharges.
Cathay Pacific will extend a 50% discount on March 31 to about 50 destinations, including the routes from HCM City to Taiwan, China, Australia and Japan.
Some other foreign airlines in Vietnam such as Air Asia and Qatar Airways have had their own promotional campaigns too.
Despite cheap tickets, many complain about difficulties with booking. The numbers of available tickets is usually limited, leaving some customers without adequate time.
