On November 11-13, Vietnam Airlines and Pacific Airlines will sell one-way airfares priced at just VND579,000 (USD24.17) each for all domestic routes. The tickets are applied for flights to be conducted from February 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.
Bamboo Airways have offered millions of cheap tickets just from VND99,000 for flights from Hanoi and HCM City to domestic destinations. Customers are allowed to change the name on air tickets free of charge and the change is unlimited as long as it is carried out three hours before the flight departure time.
Airlines have seen a sharp drop in passenger numbers following Covid-19, so they are trying to lure customers in order to generate jobs and income for their staff. They have also planned to open new domestic routes to help meet customers’ diversified demand and spur the tourism sector.
A representative from Vietnam Airlines said that in October, the carrier reopened nine domestic flights and operated 22 new air routes which are aimed to connect tourism spots.
Vietnam Airlines has still ensured Covid-19 prevention regulations such as aeroplane sterilisation and medical check-ups for passengers at airports. Passengers are required to wear masks during their flight.
Bamboo Airways have run three direct air routes from Hanoi, Haiphong and Vinh cities to Con Dao Island in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
VietJet Air has increased flight frequency on many routes, including Hanoi/HCM City-Danang.
