To mark the route's resumption, Vietnam Airlines is offering attractive promotions. A round-trip ticket starts at just VND16,419,000, including taxes and fees. Additionally, passengers will receive a 50 percent discount on the first prepaid baggage piece and a 30 percent discount on seat selection fees.
The promotions are applied to tickets issued from March 15 to May 31, 2025, for flights between May 8 and May 31, 2025. Passengers can book tickets via the website, mobile app, ticket offices, or Vietnam Airlines' official agents.
Meanwhile, Lotus Miles members travelling between May 8 and June 30, 2025, will receive a 1,000 bonus and qualifying miles per segment for economy class and 2,000 for business class.
The reopening of the Hanoi-Moscow air route will boost connectivity and support the strong recovery of the two countries' aviation and tourism industries.
Vietnam Airlines suspended Hanoi-Moscow flights on March 25, 2022, to review and clarify procedures, requirements, and regulations related to aircraft insurance and flight operations to Russia.
According to Vietnam Airlines CEO Le Hong Ha, the airline has resumed all routes and recently introduced seven new ones. It now conducts flights to 90 destinations worldwide, including 60 domestic and 30 international destinations across 20 countries.
