Prices of air tickets for the Lunar New Year are sharply increasing due to demand.
All economy class seats on flights from Hanoi to Nha Trang on February 11, 2024, the second day of the Lunar New Year, have already been sold. Each return business-class ticket on this route is priced at VND10-14.52 million (USD 408.16-576.13).
Budget airline VietJet Air is offering a return economy ticket on the Hanoi-Nha Trang around Tet for VND4.6 million. The price is VND6-7 million for Bamboo Airways flights.
Return economy tickets on Vietnam Airlines’ Hanoi-Phu Quoc flights during Tet are VND10-13 million each. Only flights which depart very early in the morning have prices of VND7-8 million.
Air tickets from Hanoi to Southeast Asian destinations such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Bali have also increased to VND8-12 million.
According to some air ticket agents in Hanoi, Tet flights are higher than the same period of previous years. The agents said that people should consider the time to buy air tickets. Rushing to buy tickets at one time can cause higher prices. Airlines often increase flight frequency based on demand. The provision of more flights would help to ease ticket prices.
